People who reside in disaster-prone countries are usually fraught with anxiety and uncertainty due to the high level of risks imposed by such adversities. Disaster risk perception affects people’s attitudes and participation in disaster risk reduction (DRR) programs. The purpose of a study by Samamdipour et al. (2019) was to understand what people expect from disaster risk management authorities. The researchers conducted the study with the aim of collecting evidence that will guide relevant stakeholders to enhance disaster risk perceptions among residents of three provinces in Iran. Although the research question was not clearly identified in the article, it can be framed to be “Does understanding people’s expectations from disaster risk management authorities influence their disaster risk perception?” The target population in the study was a group of residents of three Iranian provinces.
The researchers utilized a qualitative methodology through semi-structured interviews to collect data from 22 participants. Data that aims to understand the perceptions of participants over some issues are usually gathered using qualitative approaches (Sutton & Austin, 2018). Samamdipour et al. (2019) used a purposive sampling technique to select participants for the study. The questions asked during the interview include; “What is your experience of individual management in disaster? What do you expect from a disaster risk management system to increase the perceptions of disaster risk? What changes should be occurred to help people perceive risks? What managers can do to contribute people to perceive risk? (p. 3).” The researchers employed qualitative content analysis to analyze the collected data.
Results of the study revealed that the participants expect disaster risk management authorities to demonstrate commitment as this increases their disaster risk perception. The participants valued personal-level commitment, interpersonal-level commitment, and social-level commitment. The authors of the article did not describe any limitations of their study. However, they concluded that commitment among disaster risk management authorities has an influence on people’s perceptions about disasters. This study is significant to nursing because it presents findings that can be used by risk management authorities to improve mental well-being and promote public health in disaster-prone areas.
