Effect of Disaster Simulation Methods on Students Disaster Management Knowledge and Skills at STIKes Majapahit Mojokerto

Abstract

Background: Preparedness education for disasters is important because nurses must adapt to any conditions. But the phenomenon shows that not many nurses have the readiness and qualified experience in disaster relief efforts. The right step in improving the ability of nurses is to provide disaster education early on to nursing students.
 Purpose: This study aims to determine the effect of disaster simulation methods on disaster management knowledge and skills in students at STIKes Majapahit Mojokerto.
 Methods: The design of this study was a pre-experiment with one group post-test only design. The sample of this research was all 7th-semester students of the Nursing Undergraduate Study Program at STIKes Majapahit Mojokerto with 21 respondents. The independent variable is the intervention of the disaster simulation method and the dependent variable is the knowledge and skills of disaster management. This study used a measuring tool in the form of a questionnaire sheet that was adopted and modified from the DPET (Disaster Preparedness Evaluation Tool) questionnaire. Analysis of the data in this study used the analysis of the mean.
 Results: The study found that the mean value of disaster management knowledge and skills were at 4.50 (SD: 1.12) and 4.29 (SD: 1.04). The mean value is included in the moderate category. This disaster simulation method provides the opportunity and experience for students to be able to directly apply the theories obtained in class to situations that are made as closely as possible with disaster conditions.
 Conclusion: The results of this study are expected to be a reference in the development of more attractive and interesting learning methods on the topic of disaster management so that in the long run it can improve the ability of nurses in their roles when disasters occur.

Pengurangan Risiko Bencana: Korelasi Pengetahuan dan Kesiapsiagaan Siswa Sekolah Menengah Atas di Kota Batu

“…Penerapan pembelajaran pro-aktif yang mendorong siswa mengenal lingkungan sekitar dapat meningkatkan kesiapsiagaan mereka dibandingkan pembelajaran konvensional yang membuat siswa hanya mendengar dan memahami (Shiwaku & Shaw, 2008). Sedangkan melalui kegiatan simulasi, siswa diberikan kesempatan untuk menerapkan teori yang mereka dapat di kelas dalam kondisi yang dibuat menyerupai situasi saat bencana terjadi (Fatmawati et al, 2020). Sedangkan kegiatan simulasi bencana terbukti dapat meningkatkan kesiapsiagaan siswa (Hariyanto et al, 2018).…”

“…Tabel 2 menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata nilai praktik BHD dewasa, anak, dan bayi yaitu sangat baik (91,40). Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa materi yang disampaikan dan simulasi praktik tindakan BHD dapat dipahami serta diaplikasikan dengan baik oleh seluruh peserta (Fatmawati, Prastya, et al, 2020). Hal ini sesuai dengan pengabdian masyarakat yang menyebutkan bahwa metode simulasi dan role play dapat signifikan meningkatkan pengetahuan dalam manajemen bencana (Fatmawati, Mawaddah, et al, 2020).…”
