Earthquake-Related Anxiety and Earthquake Preparedness Plans of Medicine Students

Medical students at Marmara University displayed high levels of earthquake-related anxiety and inadequate preparedness. Factors such as prior earthquake experience and displacement influenced preparedness behaviors, while psychological support did not significantly affect anxiety levels. These findings highlight the need for enhanced disaster preparedness training and psychological support tailored to the unique challenges medical students face. Future research should explore broader populations and the long-term impacts of preparedness education.
