  • Panisa Boonyaratkalin, Suphamas Partiprajak, Noppawan Piaseu
  • Journal:
    Disaster Medicine and Public Health Preparedness / Volume 15 / Issue 4 / August 2021
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    27 March 2020, pp. 452-457
  • Objectives:

    The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors related to flood preparedness literacy and the relationship between flood preparedness literacy and behaviors.

    Methods:

    A quantitative descriptive correlational study. The sample included 134 people residing in a central Thai province. Descriptive statistics, point-biserial correlation coefficient, and Spearmanʼs rank correlation were used in the data analysis.

    Results:

    The results revealed that the factors related to flood preparedness literacy with a statistical significance were marital status (rpb = 0.207; P < 0.01), hearing ability (r = 0.197; P < 0.05), instrumental activities of daily living (r = 0.226; P < 0.01), and social support (r = 0.388; P < 0.01). Flood preparedness literacy was correlated with flood preparedness behaviors (r = 0.281; P < 0.01).

    Conclusion:

    The factors related to flood preparedness literacy as mentioned above should be assessed to identify vulnerable groups for specific care provision. Furthermore, nurses should promote these factors to contribute to effective responses during flood disasters.
