“…Moreover, student gender and academic year showed significant differences with respect to readiness to practice. A study in Turkey among nursing students found that respondents seemed more likely to participate in disaster preparedness and recommended including disaster management skills and mass casualty care into the undergraduate curricula [50]. Kaiser et al found that more than four-fifths of medical students reported a willingness to respond to a natural disaster, pandemic influenza, and a radiological event [41].…”

Background: Disasters are devastating incidents, especially when occurring suddenly and causing damage, great loss of life, or suffering. Disasters can affect health and the social and economic development of a nation. The article analyzes the knowledge (K), attitude (A), and readiness to practice (rP) of healthcare professional students in universities in Pakistan. Methods: We carried out a cross-sectional study using a pretested and validated self-administered disaster medicine and preparedness questionnaire. The study recruited 310 students. Responses were scored and categorized as high (75th quartile), moderate (75-25th quartiles), and low (25th quartile). Independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and regression analyses were performed at an alpha level of 0.05. Results: The study found that most of the students had moderate knowledge, attitude, readiness to practice, and total KArP scores. All K, A, and rP scores were significantly correlated with overall KArP scores. Knowledge and attitude factors were significant predictors of readiness to practice. Conclusions: We strongly believe that educators and health policymakers should build a strong curriculum in disaster medicine management and preparedness to prepare competent future healthcare professionals for the nation.

Objective: Nurses, who are the largest group of committed health personnel, should be prepared to respond in a disaster. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a course to prepare undergraduate nursing students for disaster response. Methods: The course included a three-hour workshop providing overviews of disaster nursing, a one-hour case study on triage, and a three-hour disaster training with six simulation skill stations among 120 third-year nursing students. To measure education practice, simulation design, and outcomes embedded in the Jeffries' framework, three 5-point Likert self-evaluation scales designed by the National League for Nursing (NLN) were used. In addition, facilitators' observation of student performance skills, two group interviews and one feedback questionnaire were utilized. Results: Of the three self-evaluation scales, the Simulation Design Scale and Educational Practices in Simulation Scale indicated that the simulation design was effective and promoted students' learning practices. The Satisfaction and Self-Confidence Scale demonstrated satisfaction with current learning (4.39±0.46) and self-confidence in learning (4.27±0.53). Facilitator observation and group interviews revealed that most students need more time to prepare and practice for the disaster nursing training. Conclusions: The study indicated that students were interested in the disaster nursing training and satisfied with the diverse teaching methods and the motivating teaching materials used in the simulation. Simulation as a teaching strategy was an effective approach to improve teamwork , active learning, problem-solving, satisfaction level and self-confidence during the disaster nursing training. Nurse educators should provide disaster training programs for nursing undergraduates to prepare them for an active role in disaster response.

“…Core contents for nursing curricula in both cities need to be continued. Outcome competencies must be identified and validated through further research [21] Most nurses receive little, if any, disaster preparedness education in nursing school. A 2003 survey of 2013 schools of nursing (348 responding) revealed that only 53% offered content in disaster preparedness, and a mean of 4 hours was devoted to this content.…”

Abstract:The number of reported natural and human-made disasters continues to rise worldwide. Nurses comprise the highest percent of health and medical workforce. Nurses must understand the national disaster management cycle. The present study was aimed to examine nurses' knowledge, attitudes, practices and familiarity regarding disaster and emergency preparedness-Saudi Arabia. Cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted using five tools to obtain data from 252 two registered batches of bridging nurses students. Five tools were demonstrated to collect data about demographic data, questionnaire for knowledge, attitude and practice to measure disaster preparedness and emergency preparedness information questionnaire to measure nurses' familiarity. The study findings revealed that the mean age score was 26.36±1.82 and for the knowledge level was 21.2 ± 6.0. A highly significant difference was found for attitude and practice regarding disaster preparedness as well familiarity concerned emergency preparedness P≤.000. Based on the present study results; lacking of knowledge and practices with acceptable level of attitude regarding disaster preparedness and neutral familiarity with emergency preparedness were concluded. Thus an integration of clearly titled theory and practice teaching courses about disaster and emergency preparedness into nursing curricula are crucial needed and provided in respect to their learning/training preferences. Further, follow up research are necessary for maximizing nursing education and nursing quality in these critical areas applied to healthcare and community setting.
