Abstract

Flood accounts for about 40% of all natural disasters worldwide and half of all deaths from disasters. Asia, which is more prone to floods, accounted for roughly 93% of all flood-related deaths worldwide between 1987 and 1997. Between June 1 and August 18, 2018, Kerala experienced the worst ever floods in its history since 1924. In a span of 30 days, 339 human lives were lost, thousands of houses damaged, over a million and half people were moved to relief camps, large stretches of major roads got washed away and many bridges got damaged. The present study focuses on assessing the selected biopsychosocial impacts among flood survivors in selected flood affected area, Thrissur District. The objectives of the study were to assess the selected biopsychosocial impacts among flood survivors, to associate the selected biopsychosocial impacts among flood survivors with their selected demographic variables and to prepare and distribute information leaflet on disaster survival kit. The conceptual model was Sister Calista Roy’s adaptation model. The design of the study was descriptive survey design, conducted on 100 households selected by convenience sampling. The tools used were demographic profile and biopsychosocial impacts assessment scale. Following that the researcher distributed an information leaflet regarding disaster survival kit. The findings revealed that majority 80 (80%) of flood survivors had mild biopsychosocial impact and 20 (20%) had moderate biopsychosocial impact and no one had severe impact after flood. The analysis showed that there is a significant association between biopsychosocial impacts among flood survivors with their variable ‘educational status.
