Description
Ashokkumar Thirunavukkarasu and co-authors survey disaster readiness among Saudi health workers in a 2025 study. Three hundred ninety professionals in central Saudi Arabia rated their awareness, attitude, and practice around disaster preparedness with a standard validated questionnaire, and the team modeled which traits predicted low scores.
Large shares scored low: about thirty-six percent on knowledge, forty-six percent on attitude, and forty-nine percent on practice. The three scores rose together. Nurses scored notably higher than other roles on all three, and married workers practiced better. Readers get a targeting map for preparedness training in the region, with clear groups to reach first.
