Objective: This study examines the effect of multidimensional disaster training on disaster awareness and disaster intervention self-efficacy of pre-service nurses who experienced the effects of the earthquake centred in Kahramanmaraş. Since there is not enough disaster-related training in nursing curricula, it is thought that such trainings will improve the skills of nurses. The study aims to investigate whether this training increases students' knowledge and intervention competences towards disasters. Methods: This research is a study with a quasi-experimental design. The study was conducted with 1st and 2nd year students who were studying at a university, Department of Nursing, and had not taken public health and disaster management courses. An intervention group and a control group were formed by applying tests measuring disaster awareness and disaster response self-efficacy to the students. Web-based multidimensional disaster training consisting of 10 sessions was given to the intervention group. After the training, both groups were retested and the changes in disaster awareness and response self-efficacy were evaluated. After that, the data was analyzed with statistical tests.
