Abstract

ABSTRACTThis study aimed to examine factors influencing disaster preparedness among families caring for older adults who take oral medications. Fifty-eight family caregivers completed anonymous self-administered questionnaires. Binomial logistic regression analysis with the storage of the care recipient’s medications as the dependent variable revealed that caregivers’ disaster-related information-seeking behavior (e.g., considering appropriate methods to collect such information), and recognition of disaster risks in their communities strongly influenced their storage of emergency medication.
