Background:
Education is considered one of the critical elements of behavioral changes in societies with a high risk of disasters. Meanwhile, the role of adolescents, as the key and the largest group of stakeholders in planning for disaster preparedness and response, has often been neglected. The current study aimed to extract the components and effective factors in disaster education to increase adolescents' resilience in disasters in Iran.
Materials And Methods:
This qualitative study was done by inductive approach through in-depth semi-structured interviews conducted with 21 key informants and 11 adolescents selected through purposive sampling. To extract the components and factors affecting education to increase adolescents' resilience in disasters, the data were analyzed by thematic analysis.
Results:
The effective factors in increasing adolescents' disaster resilience were classified into four categories, namely, social participation, need-based education, scope of influence, and governance perspectives, and 19 subcategories.
Conclusion:
This study provided an overview and a comprehensive understanding of disaster education to increase adolescents' resilience. Recognizing these factors can help effectively in developing disaster education programs to improve adolescents' resilience against disasters. By encouraging natural hazard habits in this age group, it can also potentially increase the society's resilience in future.
