Senior High School Students’ Perceived Level of Preparedness, Involvement and Knowledge on Emergencies

Abstract

This study was intended to determine the senior high school students’ perceived level of preparedness and to examine the relationship between the perceived level of preparedness, involvement, knowledge, and personal emergency preparedness. The senior high school students at San Jose National High School were the respondents to the study. The descriptive cross-sectional design was used in this study. Furthermore, a modified survey questionnaire was used to gather data, and JASP was employed in data analysis. Findings showed that the respondents were moderately prepared in terms of their perceived level of preparedness. Moreover, there is a significant relationship between involvement and perceived level of preparedness. Meanwhile, there is no significant relationship between involvement and measures of personal emergency preparedness. It was also revealed that there is a significant relationship between knowledge and perceived level of preparedness. On the other hand, there is no significant relationship between knowledge and measures of personal emergency preparedness. The researcher recommends that future researchers should establish a relationship between knowledge and involvement.
