“…35 For their own protection, emergency nurses should have access to the appropriate personal protective equipment and be informed on the possible causes and suitable decontamination process for each polluting agent. 36 A comprehensive understanding of different types of protective equipment and their uses can enable healthcare providers to properly protect themselves and minimize their safety risks. 37 Disasters often have psychological effects on victims and healthcare providers.…”

Introduction Nursing is considered the healthcare profession with the most members. Emergency nurses constitute the first line of treatment in healthcare facilities when catastrophic events bring disaster victims in need of medical attention. Therefore, these nurses must be well educated and trained efficiently to be able to deal with disastrous situations properly. This study aimed to distinguish the most important elements of education and training for preparing emergency nurses to face disasters in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), specifically, the city of Taif. Methods This study employed a tool to measure nurses’ most important training and education needs that was created by the authors based on a literature review and was approved by an expert panel in disaster nursing. Questionnaires were distributed to emergency nurses in four hospitals run by the Ministry of Health in Taif city. Survey responses were received from 210 participants, and the data were analyzed using a principal component analysis (PCA). A one-way ANOVA was used to determine the differences between groups according to their experiences. Results The following three factors were extracted from the data after redundant items were loaded and excluded: incident management systems (IMSs), disaster triage, and disaster drills. Nurses with less than three years of experience have a significant need to learn about these elements in order to be able to cope with disasters. Conclusion Understanding different types of disasters and how to deal with these catastrophic events is crucial. Significant differences existed between ED nurses in their understanding of the basic elements of disaster management based on their level of experience in an ED. Therefore, disaster education must be included in nursing curricula, and more training courses, mock drills, and simulations must be conducted in hospitals for nurses, especially nurses with less experience, so they can learn to manage their responsibilities during disasters.

“…Chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats are globally increasing but most health care workers (HCWs) are insufficiently trained to face such situations [ 57 , 58 ]. Given the unsatisfactory skill acquisition and the even poorer retention of PPE doffing procedural skills in student paramedics even after following a blended learning approach, further studies are needed to understand how the proficiency of prehospital providers can be enhanced regarding this critical procedure.…”

Personal protective equipment doffing is a complex procedure that needs to be adequately performed to prevent health care worker contamination. During the COVID-19 pandemic, junior health care workers and students of different health care professions who had not been trained to carry out such procedures were often called upon to take care of infected patients. To limit direct contact, distance teaching interventions were used, but different trials found that their impact was rather limited. We therefore designed and carried out a randomized controlled trial assessing the impact of adding a face-to-face intervention using Peyton’s four-step approach to a gamified e-learning module. Sixty-five student paramedics participated in this study. The proportion of doffing sequences correctly performed was higher in the blended learning group (33.3% (95%CI 18.0 to 51.8) versus 9.7% (95%CI 2.0 to 25.8), p = 0.03). Moreover, knowledge and skill retention four to eight weeks after the teaching intervention were also higher in this group. Even though this study supports the use of a blended learning approach to teach doffing sequences, the low number of student paramedics able to adequately perform this procedure supports the need for iterative training sessions. Further studies should determine how often such sessions should be carried out.

“…Firm innovation performance typically consists of two parts: process innovation and product innovation. It also refers to a significant increase in the business volume and economic benefits of a firm after implementing new technologies [ 72 , 73 ]. Yet previous studies have attracted criticism for not reaching a clear conclusion concerning the impact of innovations has on the performance of firms who based their business upon projects deliveries [ 74 ].…”
