Brief Summary

Given our geographical location, there is always the possibility of encountering a disaster at any moment. It is a well-known fact that families with children who have special needs face a series of challenges throughout their lives, and these challenges are known to increase during disaster situations. Therefore, it is emphasized that families with children who have special needs should be supported in every aspect. This study aims to examine the relationship between the psychological resilience levels of parents with hearing-impaired children and their disaster preparedness. With this research, the question "How can the relationship between the psychological resilience levels of parents with hearing-impaired children and their disaster preparedness be assessed, and can this relationship provide insights into how more effective support can be provided to families?" seeks an answer.
