“…The experimental group carried out communication on a network platform and simulation training in groups, which could promote communication and collaboration between students. The finding was consistent with the study conducted in simulated disaster drill experience (Digregorio et al., 2019 ). Students in the control group were being taught in a big class they might find the prospect of asking a question in the presence of sizeable other participants was too daunting (Mills, Carter, et al., 2016 ).…”

As defined in the current literature, a deteriorating patient "is one who moves from one clinical state to a worse clinical state which increases their individual risk of morbidity, including organ dysfunction, protracted hospital stay, disability, or death." (Jones et al., 2013(Jones et al., , pp. 1031(Jones et al., -1032. It is important to emphasize the essential role of nursing students in recognizing the dynamic and changing nature of a patient's condition in addition to vital sign derangement and observations (Alshehry et al., 2020).

“…Nurses’ preparedness for disaster response can be improved through educational activities such as simulations, seminars, and workshops (Burgos, 2019). Evidently, effective and structured disaster education for clinical nurses needs to be developed further, to include simulated disaster drill experiences that have an effect on disaster preparedness (Digregorio et al., 2019).…”

Aim To analyse clinical nurses’ educational needs and disaster response readiness and the factors influencing their disaster response readiness. Design This was a cross‐sectional study. Methods A convenience sample comprising 260 nurses with more than a year of working experience at a hospital in Korea was selected from 1‐31 August 2019. Data on nurses’ educational needs and disaster response readiness were collected from participants. A multiple regression model was used to examine the factors influencing disaster response readiness among nurses. Results Factors influencing personal readiness were number of years of clinical experience, being female, working in a medical ward, and educational needs for disaster response. Factors influencing self‐protection were working in a medical ward and working in the emergency room. Factors influencing the emergency response were working in a medical ward and working in the emergency room. Factors influencing clinical management were a graduate‐level education or higher, working in a medical ward, working in the emergency room, working in the paediatric ward, experience receiving disaster‐related education, and educational needs for disaster response. Conclusion It is essential to be aware of the educational needs and disaster readiness of hospital clinical nurses, to develop their capacity to respond such situations. In addition, to improve the disaster competency of nurses, it is necessary to develop an education programme that considers the factors influencing disaster response readiness in this study. Impact Nurses must have the knowledge and skills to respond to a disaster. Nurse educators should help nurses strengthen their disaster‐related knowledge, skills, and judgment. Hospital administrators should encourage nurse educators to provide disaster‐related training and simulation‐based education to increase nurses’ disaster competency to act during disasters.

“…Physician partnerships emerged as a key resource for first responder departments, and these relationships are recognized as a foundational underpinning of a pandemic response [ 52 - 54 ]. Formalizing and nourishing these relationships holds promise in strengthening the overall ability of the health system to support its community during a pandemic.…”

Background The COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented challenges for first responders (eg, police, fire, and emergency medical services) and nonmedical essential workers (eg, workers in food, transportation, and other industries). Health systems may be uniquely suited to support these workers given their medical expertise, and mobile apps can reach local communities despite social distancing requirements. Formal evaluation of real-world mobile app–based interventions is lacking. Objective We aimed to evaluate the adoption, acceptability, and appropriateness of an academic medical center–sponsored app-based intervention (COVID-19 Guide App) designed to support access of first responders and essential workers to COVID-19 information and testing services. We also sought to better understand the COVID-19–related needs of these workers early in the pandemic. Methods To understand overall community adoption, views and download data of the COVID-19 Guide App were described. To understand the adoption, appropriateness, and acceptability of the app and the unmet needs of workers, semistructured qualitative interviews were conducted by telephone, by video, and in person with first responders and essential workers in the San Francisco Bay Area who were recruited through purposive, convenience, and snowball sampling. Interview transcripts and field notes were qualitatively analyzed and presented using an implementation outcomes framework. Results From its launch in April 2020 to September 2020, the app received 8262 views from unique devices and 6640 downloads (80.4% conversion rate, 0.61% adoption rate across the Bay Area). App acceptability was mixed among the 17 first responders interviewed and high among the 10 essential workers interviewed. Select themes included the need for personalized and accurate information, access to testing, and securing personal safety. First responders faced additional challenges related to interprofessional coordination and a “culture of heroism” that could both protect against and exacerbate health vulnerability. Conclusions First responders and essential workers both reported challenges related to obtaining accurate information, testing services, and other resources. A mobile app intervention has the potential to combat these challenges through the provision of disease-specific information and access to testing services but may be most effective if delivered as part of a larger ecosystem of support. Differentiated interventions that acknowledge and address the divergent needs between first responders and non–first responder essential workers may optimize acceptance and adoption.
