“…Here, this study result shows a parallelism with other studies (Al Thobaity et al 2017;Celik 2010;Diab & Mabrouk 2015;Li et al 2017;Ozcan 2013;Wenji et al 2015). Although international nursing organizations warn nurses to be prepared for disasters, as in many countries, nurses' training for disasters in Turkey is inadequate (Rokkas et al 2014;Taskiran & Baykal 2017) because, there is no standardized, accessible and continuous disaster education in the undergraduate curricula and hospitals.…”

“…Nurses' experiences, opinions and training needs regarding disasters were investigated, and their perceptions of disaster preparedness and core competencies were measured. Like previous studies, most nurses reported they had no prior disaster experience and disaster response experience (Baack & Alfred 2013;Celik 2010;Hodge et al 2017;Labrague et al 2016;Li et al 2017;Ozcan 2013;Usher et al 2015). Moreover, Rizqillah & Suna (2018) found that 58.3% of nurses had previous disaster experience and 56.7% of nurses had disaster response experience.…”

Aim This descriptive correlational study aimed to identify nurses’ perceptions of their own disaster preparedness and core competencies. Background As disasters have increased in number and severity in recent years, it is crucial that nurses should be appropriately prepared. There is still limited research on this issue in Turkey. Introduction With changes in disaster policies in the last decade, the need to improve the disaster core competencies of nurses has also increased. Methods A sample of 406 nurses selected with convenience sampling and working in an 1816‐bed capacity university hospital was included in this descriptive correlational study. A single‐item visual scale and the 45‐item Nurses Perceptions of Disaster Core Competencies Scale were used. Results ‘Technical Skills’ scored highest across the subscales of the scale, and ‘Critical Thinking Skills’ scored lowest. When the total and subscale scores were compared by age group, professional experience, working position and prior disaster experience, there were statistically significant differences. Conclusions The Turkish nurses had different levels of disaster core competencies and considered themselves more competent in some areas of disaster preparedness than in others. There are clearly gaps to be filled in disaster preparedness and core competencies in Turkish nurses. Implications for nursing and policy Nurse managers should advocate for increasing disaster preparedness for all nurses. This could be accomplished by offering formal training in disaster preparedness and/or by scheduling regular disaster drills, perhaps using a mix of tabletop exercises with occasional hospital‐wide disaster scenarios. In addition, managers should regularly evaluate nurses’ disaster core competencies to achieve effective preparation plans and training.

“…However, these studies lacked long-term follow-up results, did not use controlled groups, and required considerable resources to prepare (Alim, Kawabata, & Takanawa, 2015;Jung et al, 2016;Pesiridis, Sourtzi, Galanis, & Kalokairinou, 2015), such as using a high fidelity human mannequin simulator or patient simulator for practicing CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and other treatment, as well as actorpatients 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, 2017).…”

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.

Background: Iran has experienced an increasing number of earthquake disasters in the past three decades. Nurses are the largest group of healthcare providers that play an important role in responding to disasters. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the nursing challenges to provide cares to the injured in the Kermanshah earthquake, Iran. Methods: The present study was conducted as a qualitative conventional content analysis, and data collection was carried out through 16 semi‑structured and in‑depth interviews with the nurses involved in providing cares to the injured in the Kermanshah earthquake.The data were analyzed following Graneheim and Lundman’s approach. Results: Data analysis led to the emergence of 453 primary codes, 14 subcategories, and 5 categories. The five categories were as follows: (a) organizational and managerial challenges; (b) human resources; (c) infrastructure; (d) educational system; (e) and ethical. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that nurses faced with several challenges in providing care to earthquake victims. Based on these findings, better educational management and planning, infrastructure reform, and establishment of a crisis nursing national team seem absolutely necessary.
