When asked about the disaster education status, 48.3% of the participants thought that the education they received would be effective in the case of a disaster, Participants who thought the disaster education they received would be effective were found to have the highest rate of finding themselves self-efficient in responding to disaster victims.Conclusion: In all provinces, especially in Batman where the study was conducted, all emergency health care workers' levels of disaster awareness and knowledge should be tested and all necessary education should be given.
