ABSTRACT The earthquake in West Sumatra in 2009 caused 1,195 people to die, where the majority of victims were the elderly and children. The factor that causes the large number of fatalities during earthquake disasters is the lack of knowledge and attitudes of the community and children regarding earthquake disaster management preparedness. This research aims to determine the effect of earthquake simulation on increasing knowledge and attitudes about earthquake disaster preparedness among elementary school students in Padang City. The research method uses Quasi-experimental with One Group Pre test and Post design, the research location is Lubuk Lintah State Elementary School 21. The population is 80 grade 5 elementary school students with 44 samples taken by proportionate random sampling. The data collection technique uses a questionnaire. The earthquake disaster simulation educational intervention was carried out twice in one meeting for 2x120 minutes. Data analysis used the Paired T-dependent test. The research results showed that there was an effect of increasing knowledge and attitudes before and after being given an earthquake simulation to elementary school students with P-value = 0. The research conclusions show that earthquake simulations can be used to increase knowledge and attitudes about earthquake disaster preparedness among elementary school students. If earthquake simulation is used as an activity program in schools, it can make students resilient to disasters. Keywords: Simulation Education. Earthquake. Knowledge. Attitude ABSTRAK Kejadian gempa bumi di Sumatera Barat tahun 2009 menyebabkan 1. 195 orang meninggal dunia dimana korban terbanyak adalah orang tua dan anak-anak. Faktor yang menyebabkan banyaknya korban jiwa saat bencana gempa bumi adalah kurangnya pengetahuan dan sikap masyarakat dan anak-anak tentang kesiapsiagaan penanggulangan bencana gempa bumi. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui pengaruh simulasi gempa bumi terhadap peningkatan pengetahuan dan sikap kesiapsiagaan bencana gempa bumi pada murid sekolah dasar di Kota JKEP (Jurnal Keperawata. Vol. 9 No. 2 November 2024 hlm 308-321 Padang. Metode penelitian menggunakan Quasi eksperimental dengan One Group Pre test and Post design, lokasi penelitian di Sekolah Dasar Negeri 21 Lubuk Lintah. Populasi adalah murid sekolah dasar kelas 5 berjumlah 80 orang dengan 44 orang sampel diambil secara proportionate random sampling. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan kuesioner. Intervensi edukasi simulasi bencana gempa bumi dilakukan dua kali pada satu kali pertemuan selama 2x120 Analisa data menggunakan uji Paired T-dependen. Hasil penelitian didapatkan adanya pengaruh peningkatan pengetahuan dan sikap sebelum dan sesudah diberikan simulasi gempa bumi pada murid sekolah dasar dengan p-value = 0,000. Simpulan penelitian menunjukan simulasi gempa bumi dapat digunakan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan sikap tentang kesiapsiagaan bencana gempa bumi kepada murid sekolah dasar. Simulasi gempa bumi jika dijadikan program kegiatan di sekolah dapat menjadikan murid tangguh bencana. Kata Kunci : Edukasi Simulasi. Gempa Bumi. Pengetahuan. Sikap INTRODUCTION Agency (BPBD) in 2019, reported that the Earthquakes are natural disasters in the form 2009 West Sumatra earthquake occurred of vibrations or shocks that occur on the with a magnitude of 7. 6 on the Richter Scale earth's surface due to the sudden release of off the coast of West Sumatra at 17:16:10 energy from within that creates seismic WIB on September 30, 2009. Earthquakes although with different magnitudes (Maryana elt al. , 2. BNPB in the Disaster Risk Index (IRBI) year 2022, said Padang City has a Disaster Risk Index which ranks 4th out of 19 total From an earth science perspective.

Padang three active tectonic plates, namely the Indo- City was one of the cities affected by the Australian plate, the Eurasian plate and the earthquake in 2009. Pacific plate. The activity of these three plates creates a series of volcanoes. In this region, there are generally many active faults, making Indonesia prone to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions (BNPB, 2. Children are among the vulnerable groups most at risk of being affected by disasters (Government Regulation No. 21, 2. The vulnerability of children is caused by a lack of understanding of disaster preparedness. BNPB in the Disaster Risk Index (IRBI) in which results in the absence of preparedness 2022, said that West Sumatra province has a in the face of disasters. From the data on Disaster Risk Index that ranks 41st out of 514 disaster events in several regions, many total districts or cities in Indonesia with a victims are school-age children who are in score of 179. igh risk clas.
