Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the level of disaster attitudes and disaster resilience among university students and to evaluate the factors affecting them. This descriptive and relational study was conducted with 411 university students studying in a disaster-affected province. The data for the study were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Student's t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, multiple linear regression, and correlation analysis.

The mean score on the disaster attitude scale was 71.20±10.94, while the mean score on the individual disaster resilience assessment scale was 60.85±10.19. The study found that having a personal disaster plan, having received disaster training, and being informed about environmental disaster risks were significant predictors of disaster attitude and individual disaster resilience (p
