Summary
This study developed an innovative STEAM-D (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics, and Disaster) based education program to enhance child disaster resilience. The program effectively supported children
Area of Science:
- Child Development
- Disaster Education
- STEAM Education
Background:
- Enhancing young children's resilience to disasters requires scientifically-based educational strategies.
- Existing educational methods may not adequately address the unique needs of young children in disaster preparedness.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and pilot a STEAM-D (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics, and Disaster) based, arts-integrated disaster resilience education program for young children.
- To evaluate the program's content validity, applicability, and impact on children's disaster perceptions and learning outcomes.
Main Methods:
- A Research and Development approach was employed, including program development, expert review, and pilot implementation.
- Content validity and applicability were assessed by 10 experts.
- A qualitative analysis using the Draw-Tell technique was conducted on 14 five-year-old children's perceptions post-pilot.
Main Results:
- Experts confirmed the program supports cognitive, affective, and social development, with satisfactory content validity and applicability.
- Children's drawings and narratives revealed increased disaster awareness, knowledge of protective behaviors and first aid, and emotional expression.
- Art-based activities fostered positive emotional responses and enhanced understanding of disaster dimensions.
Conclusions:
- The developed STEAM-D program is a scientifically-based and applicable educational intervention for enhancing young children's disaster resilience.
- Arts integration effectively supported children's cognitive and emotional processing of disaster-related themes.
- The program positively influences children's developmental characteristics in the context of disaster preparedness.

01:29Methods of Sterilization I: Physical Methods
24.5K
As used in a healthcare facility, sterilization destroys all microorganisms through physical or chemical methods. The physical method includes steam, dry heat, boiling water, and radiation.
Steam sterilization uses non-toxic, low-cost moist heat in the form of saturated steam under pressure, which is fast, microbicidal, and sporicidal, and quickly warms and penetrates fabrics. Autoclaves, or steam sterilizers, expose each item to direct steam contact for a predetermined time at the necessary...

Cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization are the methods that help to break the infection chain and prevent disease.
Cleaning
The cleaning process usually involves using water with detergents or enzymatic cleaner and removing foreign material from objects and surfaces, including organic material such as body fluids or inorganic material like soil. Cleaning is performed before high-level disinfection and sterilization because foreign materials on the cover of the devices interfere with process...

In the ever-evolving field of public health, statistical analysis serves as a cornerstone for understanding and managing disease outbreaks. By leveraging various statistical tools, health professionals can predict potential outbreaks, analyze ongoing situations, and devise effective responses to mitigate impact. For that to happen, there are a few possible stages of the analysis:
