“…An interesting idea for future studies could be to apply the Haddon Matrix on disaster media coverage (trauma journalism). The Haddon Matrix has primarily been used for injury prevention, but also applied to public health preparedness (Barnett et al, 2005) and frontline care staff (Salio et al, 2022). Also, the outcome of our present study could be relevant to analyze with the Haddon Matrix framework; pre-event, event and post-event related to contributing and influencing factors.…”

IntroductionMedia presence on site and reports on disasters are crucial parts of disaster communication. Aside from authorities, civil society, concerned businesses and citizens, the media constitute an important actor. The working conditions, situational competence and management among journalists on duty in a disaster area are important factors within the complex area of crisis management and disaster communication. This study aims to explore the working conditions, challenges, and coping strategies among journalists covering the Haiti earthquake in 2010.MethodsTen months after the event, Scandinavian journalists (n = 32) provided free-text responses about their work on site through a web survey. The free- text responses underwent content analysis. In addition, self-report questionnaires were used to assess general mental health and posttraumatic stress.ResultsWe found that journalists faced five main challenges in Haiti: situational (technicalities, practical, collegial), professional (mission, approach, roles), personal (traits, emotions, coping), traumatic (general mental health and posttraumatic stress) and experiential (learning and growth). They described a difficult and challenging mission, but also an eye-opening and life-changing experience. Most respondents' questionnaire responses indicated low risk for both poor mental health and posttraumatic stress, with a few significant exceptions. Being properly equipped and mentally prepared, getting collegial support and maintaining professional focus were seen as important, and good leadership and clear instructions from editors at home were highlighted.DiscussionCorroboration of the present findings would strengthen our knowledge of their experiences, and may provide valuable insights for designing preparedness activities in the future as well as for applying to other communication functions in disasters.

The aim of this study was to identify hospital‐based workplace violence (WPV) risk factors with the Haddon Matrix Model (HMM) to determine its potential utility to conceptualize multiple risks for WPV events. This descriptive study utilized two independent convenience samples Data from behavioral emergencies (2014–2015) for patient violence (N = 192) and from health care staff (N = 380) 12‐month violence survey responses (2015) in a Midwestern academic hospital were analyzed. Logistic regression examined patient features associated with physical violence. Survey questions pertained to employee, environment, and cultural factors associated with WPV; responses were examined with Chi‐square and two‐sample t‐tests. Violence risk factors populated the 4 Haddon Matrix domains at pre‐event time frames as Host (worker)‐age/demographics, Agent (patient)‐age/gender, Physical Environment‐door/window structure, and Social Environment‐worker safety. Risks at event time frames populated for Agent—behavior/delirium, and Physical Environment—event medication/patient identification. The Haddon Matrix identification of hospital violence risks indicates its utility as a comprehensive approach to workplace violence.

Emergency nurses are pivotal in disaster preparedness and first aid response, being the first healthcare providers on the scene during emergencies. Their ability to assess situations swiftly, triage patients effectively, and collaborate with other professionals ensures timely and efficient care. They also contribute significantly to disaster preparedness by participating in drills and training, and by assisting in developing and implementing emergency response plans. Natural catastrophes harmed about 2 billion people worldwide between 2008 and 2018. According to the World Health Organization, countries and governments must always have catastrophe preparations and emergency health experts on hand. This review article aimed to examine the current level of disaster preparedness among nurses, to analyze some of the factors influencing nurses’ emergency preparedness and to define the roles of emergency nurses in both rapid first aid deployment and long-term disaster impact reduction. The data for this review paper are from published studies. Electronic databases of MEDLINE, PubMed, and Google Scholar were searched using the keywords: disaster preparedness, first aid response, emergency nurses, roles of nurses, and disaster response, and literature were retrieved and screened for eligibility. The date limit considered in the literature search was from 2018 to 2024 to capture only the variables identified in the study. The review revealed four issues which are (1) the Haddon Matrix Model, (2) current level of disaster preparedness among nurses, (3) roles of emergency nurses in disaster management, and (4) analyzing emergency preparedness and first aid impact of nurses in disasters. In conclusion, addressing these issues through targeted training, resource allocation, and policy implementation can enhance the overall preparedness of nurses in responding to disasters and improving outcomes for those affected. Ensuring that nurses are well-prepared, adequately trained, and equipped with the necessary resources, healthcare systems can better mitigate the impact of disasters and provide timely and effective care to those in need. This not only benefits the individuals directly affected by disasters but also strengthens the resilience of communities and healthcare systems as a whole.
