“…Rebmann and Mohr (2010) reported that the barriers to nurses receiving bioterrorism education mainly include the following four points: (1) ‘no place to receive training’, (2) ‘no administrative and financial support’, (3) ‘no disaster drill ability’ and (4) ‘lack of psychological preparation against bioterrorism’. In addition, several studies (El‐Monshed et al, 2021; Hasan et al, 2021) reported that nurses had limited skills for performing isolation and decontamination procedures as well as a lack of confidence in conducting health assessments and providing healthcare in the event of biological attacks or bioterrorism. Given the increase in terrorism and natural disasters over the past decade, public health challenges have continued to increase.…”

Aims To map the nursing skills required for different types of disasters. Design This was a scoping review of research studies conducted between July and August 2021. We conducted a systematic literature search of nine electronic databases from inception till July 2021, and an updated search was done in April 2022. This review is based on the methodological framework of Arksey and O'Malley (2005), which was further refined by the Joanna Briggs Institute. Data Sources A range of electronic databases was searched systematically, including CINAHL, Cochrane, Embase, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI and Ichushi‐Web. Articles published in Chinese, English and Japanese were selected for the review. Review Methods The PCC model was used to frame the inclusion criteria. Studies were screened, appraised and extracted by two reviewers, and the study findings were narratively synthesized. Results We identified nursing skills for five types of natural disasters including (1) earthquakes, (2) typhoons, (3) tsunamis, (4) marine disasters and (5) infectious diseases and three man‐made disasters: (1) radiation disasters, (2) bioterrorism and (3) war. Among these, there are five types of common professional skills nurses are required to possess including casualty triage, observation and monitoring, basic first aid techniques, psychological care and communication skills. In addition, it was shown that different disasters require different specific professional skills. Conclusion This scoping review explored the disaster nursing skills required for eight types of disasters and provides evidence for future education and training. Further research is needed to build more accurate scenario‐based simulation training programs to provide more insights into future disaster precision nursing. Impact This scoping review provides evidence for future education and training in disaster nursing to improve nurses’ knowledge and competencies in dealing with the different types of disaster situations.

“…Nurses play a vital role in public crises and disasters. Hence, nurses must possess adequate knowledge and skills to respond appropriately to different types of disasters (Firouzkouhi et al, 2021; Hasan et al, 2021). However, nurses also face several challenges in all stages of a disaster.…”

“…This is similar to that reported by a quasi-experimental study in Turkey, where students who received an educational intervention had a 48.5% increase in determining how to leave their homes during an earthquake [ 9 ]. A study of nurses in Bangladesh found that those who received training were more prepared for disasters [ 35 ]. This finding could be explained by the fact that through training, people have access to education and training to respond to emergencies [ 19 ].…”

Information on the prevention of earthquakes in Peru, a high-risk country, is still emerging. We determined the frequency and factors associated with knowledge of evacuation routes and the use of emergency backpacks in people affected by a major earthquake. A cross-sectional study using secondary data was conducted from August–December 2021 on people that experienced the 6.1 magnitude earthquake that occurred in Piura, Peru on 30 July 2021. The outcome was self-reported knowledge of evacuation routes and the use of emergency backpacks. The association with self-reported earthquake preparation training, use of sources of information on earthquakes, and sociodemographic variables was investigated. A total of 69.5% of participants knew evacuation routes, and 46.3% had an emergency backpack. A higher frequency of knowledge of evacuation routes was associated with previous training (PR: 1.47; 95% CI: 1.15–1.87), use of the media (PR: 1.35; 95% CI: 1.06–1.72), having received information from the COEN (PR: 1.19; 95% CI: 1.02–1.40), and with a greater number of household members (PR: 1.03; 95% CI: 1.01–1.06). There is a high frequency of knowledge of evacuation routes among participants. However, basic notions of prevention culture are still needed. This research contributes to policy development on earthquake preparation at the community level.

“…There are several studies that have been conducted previously that identify preparedness in dealing with disasters. This disaster research refers to events that have the potential to cause harm to individuals, organizations, communities, or the environment (Hasan et al, 2021;Shah et al, 2019). When natural disasters such as hurricanes and tornadoes occur, of course, the survival of the organization will be threatened , organizations cannot control the physical characteristics of natural disasters such as intensity and frequency, but organizations can minimize the potential impact of disasters by adopting hazard adjustments (J.M., 1996).…”

Palu Bay is one of the bays in a seismically active area in Indonesia which is traversed by the Palu-Koro fault segment. In the aftermath of a major natural disaster in the Region on September 28, 2018 Palu City, Donggala Regency and Sigi Regency were areas that were most affected by this disaster, so it was necessary to identify the level of community preparedness, especially for SMEs in dealing with natural disasters in the future and how the impact of resource ownership will be that they have whether the resource significantly affects SMEs preparedness to face natural disasters. This research was conducted three years after the natural disaster in the Palu Bay Area. The assessment was carried out through a questionnaire involving 260 SMIs that were chosen randomly and from the four variables of SMEs resources studied, that the resources that had an effect on disaster preparedness were the capital variable, which was 0.07, the entrepreneurial variable was 0.35, the labor variable was -0.03, and the Information Technology variable is not significant. While the level of preparedness of SMEs in dealing with natural disasters in the future, 17.31% of respondents are stated to be "not ready", 60.90% "somewhat ready" and 23.8% "ready" while none of the respondents were "very prepared". This lack of readiness of SMEs clearly requires the attention of all stakeholders in fostering the resilience of SMEs.
