“…It is also possible to strengthen the power of the nurses in disasters by planning and implementing the retraining programs, executing staff rotation shifts in ICU and emergency rooms, and also supporting nurses to promote their capabilities in response to disasters [5]. It is also necessary to insist on disasters nursing cares in the training courses of the nurses, and by using educational proper strategies such as exercises and simulating the crisis situations, promote the nurses' preparedness to response in disasters [11].…”

“…The current statistics indicate an increase in incidents and disasters and insufficient preparedness to respond [4][5][6]. Since disasters influence health and well-being of the society, delivering proper health services is considered as the major component in surviving, reducing causalities, and providing the people with suitable welfare after such incidents [7].…”

Background: Nurses, as the largest group in providing relief during disasters with their specialized skills, should be sufficiently prepared to provide the highest level of health care. By compiling predisaster preparedness programs, the provided healthcare would be promoted and number of casualties and incoordination in allocated tasks be reduced. This study was conducted to evaluate nurses' preparedness in response to disasters in South Khorasan Province, Iran. Materials and Methods:In this correlational descriptive study, working nurses in provincial hospitals were chosen by systematic random sampling. The study data were collected with a 3-part questionnaire: demographic information, items assessing the capabilities in disaster (clinical competency, survival skills, operational competency), and items regarding their viewpoints (personal and psychological readiness, team integration, and administrative support). The questionnaire was rated on a 5-point Likert-type scale. Total score in each field is divided by the number of questions, in which 5 is the highest, and 1 the lowest. All data were analyzed by SPSS16. The significant level was set at P ≤ 0.05. Results:Out of 304 hospital nurses working in 10 health centers throughout the province, 71.1% were female, 27.21% had 3-5 years of job experience, 96.4% had BS in nursing, and 57.9% were the staff of educational hospitals. The mean (SD) score for nurses' preparedness (competency and attitude) was 3.4(0.64). The mean (SD) score for nurses' competency was 3.25 (0.72), and average score for nurses' attitude was 3.53(0.5). There was a significant correlation between nurses' competency score and their gender and work experience (P ≤ 0.05). Conclusion:Regarding the nurses' preparedness score, it is recommended that they be provided with training courses on disaster preparedness through workshops and or training exercises.

“…Various training methods are provided to the trainees such as videos, case studies, tutorials, discussion groups, demonstrations, presentations, handouts and role-plays (Pesiridis, Sourtzi, Galanis, & Kalokairinou, 2014). Some recent studies have indicated that these have reduced the transfer of knowledge because the world is now more inclined towards technology.…”

Every organisation and government invests in implementing effective training programmes to maximize the inherent value of their existing human capital. Human development training programmes have been an integral part in encouraging the employees to be a competent and skilled labour force that is knowledgeable and able to perform assigned tasks. Disaster preparedness training is one of training programmes provided to employees and volunteers to prepare and reduce the effects of a disaster such as flood. A variety of training is provided such as swimming skills, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) technique, basic rescue, disaster management, physical intelligence and basic disaster action. However, there is still lack of study that reviews the potential factors that influence the transfer of training in disaster preparedness training. This study is conducted to address this gap. Specifically, this study will review previous studies to identify the potential factors that could influence the transfer of training in disaster preparedness training.

“…Education in disaster preparedness strategies facilitated an improvement in students’ knowledge and skill in studies from New Orleans (Hutchinson et al, ), Georgia (Kaplan, Connor, Ferranti, Holmes, & Spencer, ), Pennsylvania (Jasper, Wanner, Berg, & Berg, ; Morrison & Catanzaro, ), Ohio (Smith, Farra, Dempsey, & Arms, ), and California (Jung, Carman, Aga, & Burnett, ). However, these studies lacked long‐term follow‐up results, did not use controlled groups, and required considerable resources to prepare (Alim, Kawabata, & Takanawa, ; Jung et al, ; Pesiridis, Sourtzi, Galanis, & Kalokairinou, ), such as using a high fidelity human mannequin simulator or patient simulator for practicing CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and other treatment, as well as actor‐patients who were dressed and made up using artificial wounds and blood so as to mimic a “real”‐life case situation. Few training program has been developed in a systematic manner, even though there is an increasing demand in China (Li et al, ).…”

Objective To develop and evaluate a disaster nursing preparedness training program to improve nursing students’ ability in disaster fundamentals, triage, and family preparedness when facing a disaster. Design and Sample An experimental study was applied using a pretest and post‐test control group design. Participants were randomly assigned to the experimental (n = 31) and control (n = 32) groups. Measures The program lasted 7 hr. All participants completed structured questionnaires at three time points. Results were compared between the two groups using Mann–Whitney U tests. Outcome measures were knowledge, skill, and attitude. Results Students receiving the program displayed greater increases in knowledge and skills related to disaster preparedness than those in the control group. One month after the intervention, the experimental group still had significantly higher levels of disaster knowledge and skill than the control group. There were no statistically significant differences over time in attitude measures. Conclusions This program enhanced students’ ability and the findings can serve as a basis for further developing public health education for all nurses. Chinese leaders of public health institutions and nursing administrators can create guidelines for PHN competencies and prepare the public health nursing workforce to be effective in disaster, preparedness, response, and recovery.
