“…This is consistent with the literature, with several authors reporting similar findings (Duong, 2009;Fung, Lai, & Loke, 2009;Hammad, Arbon, & Gebbie, 2011;Jennings-Sanders, Frisch, & Wing, 2005). The contextual definitions held by these undergraduates influenced the way that they then conceptualized disaster nursing, disaster preparedness and the roles that they might undertake in a disaster response.…”

The primary aim of this pilot study was to explore perceptions of disaster nursing and disaster preparedness among Australian nursing undergraduates, including their definitions of disaster, disaster nursing and disaster preparedness. The study also aimed to gain an increased understanding of what Australian nursing undergraduates might see as their role in disaster situations. A naturalistic, qualitative approach was selected for this study. An exploratory, instrumental single case study design was determined to be the most effective research methodology for exploring this issue. Methods: Data collection occurred via focus groups from a purposive, homogenous segmented sample. Participants were enrolled in the Bachelor of Nursing (pre-registration) at a School of Nursing and Midwifery at an Adelaide University. The data were thematically analysed. Results: Four main themes were identified; 'ideology of disaster', 'what is disaster nursing', 'what is disaster preparedness' and 'do nursing undergraduates have a role to play in disaster response?' Conclusions: Three recommendations are made. The first is to increase nursing undergraduates' knowledge of disaster nursing and disaster preparedness as part of their Bachelor of Nursing (BN) degree. The second is the establishment of agreements between schools of nursing and community organisations to facilitate nursing undergraduates' engagement in the disaster response space. The third suggests ways to link nursing undergraduates with volunteer opportunities in order to increase their understanding of disaster preparedness and planning. This study found that the nursing undergraduates were not prepared to respond in a disaster setting, which may compromise their ability to respond should the need arise.

“…The word disaster may be considered a broad term, in that it can be used to describe many different situations. Duong (2009) asserts as much, saying 'the word 'disaster' encompasses a myriad of occurrences' and is relative to the person having that experience, which provides the context for them to define disaster.…”

“…Nurses, as health workers that make up the largest percentage in the hospital service system, are required to participate actively in preparing for when disaster happens (Sudiro and Harnanto, 2014;Duong, 2009). The nurses' knowledge is inadequate, which can be seen by recognizing the major gaps concerning the provision of care during disasters.…”

Introduction: Professional nurses are expected to prepare for emergency and disaster situations. Therefore, we need to prepare pre-clinical nursing students for basic disaster management. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of disaster management basic training related to improving the student's preparedness to face disaster. Methods: This study used an experimental post-test only -the non-equivalent control group design recruited the sample using purposive sampling and the 50 students were divided into 2 groups: students who had basic disaster management training and t he students who only received disaster materials through their lectures. Results: The average index of disaster preparedness in the treatment group (χ = 5.4500) was higher than in the control group (χ = 3.7554). The result obtained ρ = 0,000 (α = 0.05) using the independent t-test. Conclusion: This showed that the basic disaster management training method significantly affected the level of disaster preparedness in the students. Therefore, the successful method can be applied for implementation in the 2018 curriculum.
