Abstract

Öz: Amaç: Araştırma, bir kamu üniversitesi hastanesinde ça-lışan hemşirelerin afetlere ilişkin görüşlerini, deneyimlerini, eğitim gereksinimlerini ve afetlere hazır olma algılarını belirlemek amacıyla tanımlayıcı tasarımda gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yöntem: Araştırmanın evrenini toplam 1236 hemşire oluştu-rurken, örneklemini gönüllü olarak araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden 406 hemşire oluşturmuştur. Araştırma verilerinin toplanmasında; 13 soruluk anket formu ve afetlere hazır oluşluk algı durum ifadesinden yararlanılmıştır. Veriler; sayı, yüzde, ortalama, standart sapma, minimum, maksimum kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Araştırma sonucunda hemşire-lerin yaş ortalaması 31.27±5.86 ve çalışma süresi ortalaması 8.07±6.60 olarak bulunurken, çoğunlukla kadın (%85.7), evli (%59.4), lisans mezunu (%88.2), servis hemşiresi (%56.2) olduğu ve en fazla 2-4 yıl arası çalışma süresinin olduğu saptanmıştır. Hemşirelerin çok olası gördükleri afetler sırasıyla; deprem (%70.9), terörist saldırılar (%58.6) ve büyük taşıt/ulaşım kazaları (%48.3) şeklinde belirlenmiştir. Hemşirelerin ço-ğunluğu afet öncesinde (%66.7), afet sırasında (%95.1) ve afet sonrasında (%95.6) hemşire rolünün olduğunu düşünmekte-dir. Hemşirelerin afetlere hazır oluşluk algı puan ortalaması 4.62±1.74 (min-max: 0-10 puan) olarak belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Hemşirelerin genel olarak afetlere hazır oluşluk için kendilerini "orta" düzeyde yeterli gördükleri belirlenmiştir.Anahtar Kelimeler: Afetler, Afet Planlama, Afet Tıbbı, Hemşirelik, Hemşirelik Yönetimi Araştırması Abstract: Aim: This study was designed as a descriptive study to determine nurses' submissions and experiences on disasters and perceptions of preparedness to disasters. Method: While 1236 nurses who work at a hospital of a state university was creating the study population, 406 nurses who determined using stratified sampling method consisted of the sample of the study. In the collection of research data, 13-item questionnaire and expression of the situation in the perception of preparedness to disasters were used. Results: At the end of the study, it was found that out of the nurses whose mean age was 31.27±5.86 and mean of working time was 8.07±6.60 by the time vast majority of the nurses were women (85.7%), married (59.4%), bachelor's degree holder (88.2%) and service nurses (56.2%). The most potential disaster that nurses think is an earthquake (70.9%) by the time majority of nurses consider the role of a nurse at every stage of disasters. Mean total point score of nurses' perception of preparedness to disasters is 4.62±1.74 (min-max: 0-10 points). Conclusion: It was found that the nurses generally saw themselves sufficient at 'medium level' for being prepared for disasters.

Nurses’ Perceived and Actual Preparedness for Disasters

“…In this regard, 99.4% of the nurses included in our study defined the concept of disaster as natural disasters such as earthquakes and landslides. In a study conducted by Taşkıran and Baykal, it was determined that nurses evaluated all types of disasters as very probable or probable and especially they see the earthquakes which are seen more and more often very probable [31]. The results of this study and the results of our study are similar.…”

“…In the study conducted by Şensoy and Nahcivan, 99.5% of the nurses stated that they believed that the role of nurses was after the disaster [30]. In the study conducted by Taşkıran and Baykal, 95.6% said that nurses had a role after the disaster [31]. In the study conducted by Basal and Ahmed, 58.5% of nurses stated that they have a role to provide care services in disasters [32].…”

The Effects of Disaster Nursing Education Program on Beliefs in General Disaster Preparedness, Disaster Response Self-Efficacy, and Psychological Resilience in Nursing Students

“…Lack of experience during a disaster response leads to stress and fear, but belief in the adequacy of one’s preparation for a disaster will increase student confidence (Kalanlar, 2018; Ma et al, 2021; Taşkiran & Baykal, 2017). Satoh et al (2018) found that students who took part in a disaster nursing education program had higher qualification levels than those still in the program and those who were not yet enrolled.…”

“…Disaster preparation is of vital importance for responding effectively to the immediate and long-term needs of affected communities (Taşkiran & Baykal, 2017). To be able to respond effectively, health teams need to have the necessary education and adequate qualifications.…”

“…To be able to respond effectively, health teams need to have the necessary education and adequate qualifications. As nurses constitute the largest group of health care professionals and closely serve individuals, families, and communities, they have an important role in responding to disasters (Al Thobaity et al, 2017; Taşkiran & Baykal, 2017). Nursing students as well can play an active role in future disaster situations (Öztekin et al, 2015).…”
