What is being tested?

The study tests a nurse-led emergency preparedness program (N-TORM) alongside the Korean translation of an emergency readiness tool (K-HEPI). The goal is to see if N-TORM improves knowledge and actions related to preparing for emergencies among vulnerable populations.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves educational interventions rather than medical treatments, traditional physical side effects are not applicable. Participants may experience stress or anxiety when discussing emergency scenarios.
