“…Among the subfactors, 'cooperative care' had the lowest score, which can be interpreted that nurses are unfamiliar with cooperating with other groups or institutions. Institutions should consider providing tabletop simulations for new nurses (Kim & Lee, 2020;Lee & Ahn, 2019) and regular training for the entire nursing workforce (Whetzel, Walker-Cillo, Chan, & Trivett, 2013).…”

Aims This study identified clinical nurses' awareness of emergency codes and disaster nursing competencies and investigated the relationships between these variables. Background Nurses are on the front lines of disaster and emergency response; however, they report not feeling confident about their disaster preparedness. Methods Participants included 234 nurses working at a general hospital in Korea. Emergency code awareness was measured by recognition of and self‐confidence in eight emergency codes, and disaster nursing competencies were measured using the Disaster Nursing Preparedness Response Competency Scale. Data were collected from 17 to 23 October 2019. Results The recognition rate of emergency codes was 87.4%, whereas the level of self‐confidence was 3.30 out of 5. Nurses scored 2.98 out of 5 on disaster preparedness competencies and 3.37 out of 5 on disaster response competencies. Emergency code recognition was positively correlated with self‐confidence and disaster nursing competencies (p < .05). Conclusion Higher recognition of emergency codes among clinical nurses was associated with higher self‐confidence and disaster nursing competencies. Further studies need to develop strategies to improve nurses' awareness and confidence concerning emergency codes. Implications for Nursing Management Nurse managers should pay attention to provide more opportunities for disaster education to improve nurses' self‐confidence and disaster nursing competencies.

“…Through tabletop exercises in this study, the students could experience a decision-making process and facilitate their prompt decisions, similar to those that nurses perform in actual situations, in line with previous studies [ 45 ]. Moreover, the problem-solving-based field triage simulation exercise in this study could intensify students’ disaster competency and develop students’ critical thinking and clinical decision-making abilities [ 26 , 27 ]. This course comprised problem-based and action learning activities with disaster and trauma skills that aroused the participants’ learning interests.…”

“…However, various factors might affect healthcare professionals’ willingness to respond to disasters, e.g., the type of disaster, personal or family safety, education level, self-efficacy, and disaster ability [ 11 , 15 , 17 , 18 , 21 , 23 , 24 ]. Many studies have found that interactive, simulation-based, and learner-centered nursing education programs helped prepare healthcare professionals and positively influenced their self-confidence, motivation, and disaster response attitudes [ 8 , 11 , 16 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ].…”

As future healthcare professionals, nursing students should possess the appropriate knowledge, skills, and positive attitude to respond to public health emergencies or disasters worldwide. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a disaster management training course at improving Hong Kong nursing students’ disaster knowledge, willingness, and perceived ability. A mixed-method design using a single group with pre- and post-intervention comparisons followed by qualitative focus group interviews, was conducted. A 45-h disaster management training course with theoretical and practical inputs was conducted. A total of 157 students participated in and completed the pre- and post-intervention questionnaires. Positive significant results in disaster knowledge (t(156) = −8.12, p < 0.01, d = −0.84) and perceived ability (t(156) = −7.95, p < 0.01, d = −0.72) were found, but no substantial change in willingness to respond to disasters was observed. The participants expressed various concerns regarding their willingness to respond, which can be summarized and grouped as (1) personal risk perceptions, (2) contextual factors of the disaster events, and (3) organizational support. Incorporating disaster training into the tertiary education curricula for basic nursing professionals’ training could be a long-term strategy to prepare and expand the competent workforce for future disasters. Government or healthcare organizations are recommended to provide strategies and adequate support to alleviate nursing professionals’ concerns and enhance their willingness.

“…This may cause delay for the casualties who need most urgent help, but then again, if the medical first responders have to triage all casualties, it will also delay the time to help. In contrast, Kim, et al 43 studied a group of 34 graduating nursing students who were, after a 70-min lecture about the START algorithm and MCI care, 33 challenged with performing triage on casualties of a MCI simulation scenario. They found that of all incorrect answers, 73% were related to under-triage and attributed this to the lack of clinical experience of the graduating nursing students.…”

Objective: The primary aim of this study is to review the available tools for prehospital triage in case of mass casualty incidents and secondly, to develop a tool which enables lay person first responders (LPFRs) to perform triage and start basic life support in mass casualty incidents. Methods: In July 2019, online databases were consulted. Studies addressing prehospital triage methods for lay people were analyzed. Secondly, a new prehospital triage tool for LPFRs was developed. Therefore, a search for prehospital triage models available in literature was conducted and triage actions were extracted. Results: The search resulted in 6188 articles, and after screening, a scoping review of 4 articles was conducted. All articles stated that there is great potential to provide accurate prehospital triage by people with no healthcare experience. Based on these findings, and combined with the pre-existing prehospital triage tools, we developed a, not-yet validated, prehospital triage tool for lay people, which may improve disaster awareness and preparedness and might positively contribute to community resilience. Conclusion: The prehospital triage tool for lay person first responders may be useful and may help professional medical first responders to determine faster, which casualties most urgently need help in a mass casualty incident.
