Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to provide basic data to improve coping abilities of elementary school students in emergency situations. Method: The data were collected from 1633 3-6th grade elementary school students using a self-report questionnaire. Results: 1) The mean score for the coping ability of the students was low at .38(${\pm}.36$). 2) The mean scores for the 8 categories were, [Care for common symptoms], .54(${\pm}.48$), [Call for help & check], .47(${\pm}.43$), [Care for injury by heat cold & foreign body], .39(${\pm}.45$), [Care for tissue damage], .36(${\pm}.44$), [Offering help], .36(${\pm}.42$), [Rescue & escape], .31(${\pm}.51$), [Evacuation], .28(${\pm}.49$), and [Appropriate response for the situation], .27(${\pm}.43$). The mean scores for 2 areas were, 'Acting tips', .35(${\pm}.36$) and 'First aid', .42(${\pm}.40$). There were significant differences in coping ability according to students' gender (t=4.964, p<.001), and family type (t=-2.484, p=.013). 4) Among the categories, there were significant correlations between all 8 categories and significant correlation between 'Acting tips' and 'First aid' (r=.808, p<.001), 'Acting tips' and 'Coping ability' (r=.956, p<.001), and 'First aid' and 'Coping ability' (r=.946, p<.001). Conclusion: The findings indicate a need for programs to improve the coping ability of elementary school students in emergency situations.
