“…Similarly, previous study results have revealed that confidence in PSI [ 32 ] and futurism in STS [ 33 ] significantly influence DTA. In contrast to our results, mass-casualty incident simulation training of ERTNs has shown that stresses associated with the approach-avoidance style alone significantly affect DTA [ 34 ]. DTA aims to distribute medical resources to casualties with higher probabilities of survival.…”

“…Furthermore, another study assessed mass-casualty incident situation training of nurses, doctors, and other healthcare workers from general hospitals in Thailand. They found that severity classification stress was significantly influenced by individual approach-avoidance style [ 34 ], which is in contrast with our study. Taken together, our study and previous data highlight that enhanced confidence in PSI, futurism in STS, and the influence of the approach-avoidance style in PSI can improve DTA.…”

In this descriptive study, we aimed to identify factors related to emergency room nurses’ disaster triage ability. A total of 166 nurses who worked for emergency departments of general hospitals completed a structured questionnaire consisting of the Disaster Triage Ability Scale (DTAS), the Strategic Thinking Scale (STS), the Problem-Solving Inventory (PSI), and the Original Grit Scale (Grit-O). The data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 25.0 by means of descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, the Scheffé post hoc test, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression. Participants’ DTAS averaged 14.03 ± 4.28 (Range 0–20) and showed a statistically significant difference according to their experience of triage education (t = 2.26, p = 0.022) as a disaster triage-related attribute. There were significant correlations among DTAS and confidence in the PSI (r = 0.30, p < 0.001), the approach-avoidance style in the PSI (r = −0.28, p < 0.001), and futurism in the STS (r = 0.19, p = 0.019). The strongest predictor was confidence in the PSI; in addition, 14.1% of the DTAS was explained by confidence in the PSI, approach-avoidance in the PSI, and futurism in the STS. Emergency room nurses who received triage education showed a higher level of the DTAS and their DTAS could be explained by problem-solving skills and strategic thinking. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and implement triage education programs integrated with stress management to improve the approach-avoidance style to ensure better problem-solving skills and to utilize various training methods to enhance confidence to improve problem-solving skills and futurism as part of strategic thinking.

“…These critically ill patients with multiple comorbidities are at increased risk of in-hospital morbidity and mortality. Furthermore, CCM plays an essential role in the management of bird flu influenza pandemics, injuries caused by motor vehicle collisions, septic shock and natural disasters (4,5). Therefore, CCM is receiving greater attentions from researchers and healthcare professionals.…”

“…Para el diseño de nuestro programa formativo, realizamos un proceso de adaptación de las recomendaciones internacionales a las particularidades de nuestro grupo formativo, el entorno docente, los espacios académicos y el material que estaba a nuestra disposición y muy especialmente, la tipología de los discentes. Por otra parte, en relación a la utilidad de los conocimientos de SVB en zonas de conflicto, la literatura nos dice que la confianza de profesionales sanitarios y personal militar aumenta con la realización de cursos para adquirir y refrescar las competencias en soporte vital (9). De este modo cabría esperar que ocurriese lo mismo con cooperantes no sanitarios si adquiriesen esas competencias en SVB.…”

Análisis del grado de adquisición de competencias en Soporte Vital Básico (SVB) por parte de cooperantes Resumen Objetivo: Analizar el grado de adquisición de competencias científico / técnicas en soporte vital básico (SVB) por parte de cooperantesque ejercen su actividad en diferentes organizaciones no gubernamentales (ONGs). Material y método: Se trata de un estudio observacional, descriptivo y transversal. Se establece como población diana a un grupo de 95 cooperantes de diversas ONGs sin formación sanitaria previa. La selección fue realizada por parte de UGR solidaria que a su vez fue la encargada de la organización administrativa del proceso formativo. Se realizó la medición de un total de 19 variables dicotómicas, 8 relacionadas con la reanimación cardiopulmonarbásica (RCPb), 6 con la obstrucción de la vía aérea (OVA) y 5 con la desfibrilación externa automatizada (DEA). La formación fue impartida por un grupo de profesionales sanitarios, todos ellos titulados en soporte vital avanzado (SVA) y / o soporte vital básico (SVB) por parte del Plan Nacional de RCP (PNRCP). Los parámetros evaluados son los establecidos a nivel internacional por el European Resuscitation Council (ERC). La evaluación de dichos parámetros fue llevada a cabo por profesionales sanitarios (auditores independientes) distintos a los que participaron como docentes en la formación de los cooperantes. Resultados: El grado de adquisición de competencias en SVB por parte de los sujetos participantes en el estudio fue superior al 75 % en todos los casos, adquiriéndose el 100 % de las competencias en 6 de las 19 variables analizadas. Conclusiones: Según los resultados obtenidos en este estudio, los sujetos participantes en el estudio presentaron un nivel elevado de adquisición de competencias científico / técnicas en SVB, a pesar de no disponer de formación sanitaria previa de ningún tipo.
