While the minimum sample size was calculated as 385 participants, the study was completed with 454 participants. Data were collected using a Demographic Information Form, the Psychological Preparedness for Disaster Threats Scale (PPDS), the General Health Questionnaire\u201028 (GHQ), and the Psychological Well\u2010Being Scale (PWS).

Notably, 78.4% of participants reported that they did not feel psychologically prepared for disaster threats. The mean score 58.44 \u00b1 14.47 for the Psychological Preparedness for Disaster Threats Scale, 6.0 9 \u00b1 5.34 for the General Health Questionnaire\u201028, and 39.65 \u00b1 12.89 for the Psychological Well\u2010Being Scale.
