“…The SESMCI is produced from the existing scales “The Disaster Preparedness Perception Scale in Nurses” (DPPSN) [ 33 ] and “The Disaster Response Self-Efficacy Scale” (DRSES) Li et al [ 36 ]. These scales have been validated by Kim [ 6 ], Cruz et al [ 37 ], and Toraman et al [ 38 ] in various countries and with different MCI training methods [ 39 ]. Additionally, the SESMCI instrument has been influenced by the “Learner Evaluation Questionnaire (LEQ)”, originally designed to assess medical students’ attitudes toward the curriculum [ 40 ].…”

Introduction Medical First Responders (MFRs) in the emergency department SUMMA 112 are tasked with handling the initial management of Mass Casualty Incidents (MCI) and building response capabilities. Training plays a crucial role in preparing these responders for effective disaster management. Yet, evaluating the impact of such training poses challenges since true competency can only be proven amid a major event. As a substitute gauge for training effectiveness, self-efficacy has been suggested. Objective The purpose of this study is to employ a pre- and post-test assessment of changes in perceived self-efficacy among MFRs following an intervention focused on the initial management of MCI. It also aimed to evaluate a self-efficacy instrument for its validity and reliability in this type of training. Method In this study, we used a pretest (time 1 = T1) – post-test (time 2 = T2) design to evaluate how self-efficacy changed after a training intervention with 201 MFRs in initial MCI management. ANOVA within-subjects and between subjects analyses were used. Results The findings reveal a noteworthy change in self-efficacy before and after training among the 201 participants. This suggests that the training intervention positively affected participants’ perceived capabilities to handle complex situations like MCI. Conclusion The results allow us to recommend a training program with theory components together with practical workshops and live, large-scale simulation exercises for the training of medical first responders in MCI, as it significantly increases their perception of the level of self-efficacy for developing competencies associated with disaster response.

“…Experts often struggle to explain their decision-making process during MCI care [ 5 ]. Studies suggest that stress levels among emergency professionals vary and impact them differently [ 6 ]. Additionally, training on-site can improve their subsequent performance [ 7 , 8 ].…”
