“…For example, a study in New Zealand showed that despite a low self-reported preparedness among acute care providers, the healthcare service was found to have "responded well to extraordinary circumstances" in the Canterbury earthquakes in 2010 and 2011 [21]. On the other hand, numerous studies show that healthcare workers, confident of their own high competences, are more likely to react effectively in real crises than workers who perceive their competences as low [22][23][24][25][26][27].…”

Introduction It is expected that in unforeseen situations, nurses will provide appropriate medical interventions, using their expertise and skills to reduce the risks associated with the consequences of disasters. Consequently, it is crucial that they are properly prepared to respond to such difficult circumstances. This study aimed to identify the factors influencing the basic competences of nurses in disasters. Materials and methods The survey was directed to 468 nurses from all medical centres in Lublin. IBM SPSS Statistics version 23 was used for statistical analyses, frequency analysis, basic descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis. The classical statistical significance level was adopted as α = 0.05. Results Based on the logistic regression analysis, it was found that work experience, workplace preparedness, as well as training and experience in disaster response are important predictors of preparedness. Conclusions These findings indicate that the nurses' core competencies for these incidents can be improved through education and training programmes which increase their preparedness for disasters. Nurses are among the most important groups of healthcare professionals facing a disaster and should be involved in all phases of disaster management, such as risk assessment and pre-disaster planning, response during crisis situations and risks’ mitigation throughout the reconstruction period.

“…Increased scores obtained from the scale indicate higher levels of disaster response self-efficacy (Li et al, 2017). The validity and reliability studies of the Turkish version of the scale were conducted by Koca, Cagan, and Ture Yılmaz (2020).…”

Objective This study investigated the effect of the Jennings Disaster Nursing Management Model‐based and learning management system‐assisted six‐module training programme on nursing students’ disaster preparedness perceptions and response self‐efficacy. Design and sample This randomized controlled trial used a two group comparison design, experimental group (n = 127), and control group (n = 108), carried out with third‐year nursing students in a city in the west of Turkey. Measures Data included a socio‐demographic form, the Disaster Preparedness Perception Scale in Nurses (DPPSN) and the Disaster Response Self‐Efficacy Scale (DRSES). Results After the training, disaster preparedness perceptions and the response self‐efficacy of the EG increased significantly (p < .05). This study had a moderate effect on participants’ knowledge and self‐efficacy. Conclusion Public health nurses are health professionals with important roles and responsibilities in the stages of disaster preparedness, response, and recovery that is all stages of disaster management. This theoretical‐based program can be considered for both students and nursing professionals.

“…It verifies the effectiveness of completed training, the retention of knowledge and skills of healthcare workers, and can be used to determine perceptions of self-competence, reinforcing learning. Numerous studies suggested that health care workers, confident in their own high level of competence, are more likely to react effectively in real crisis situations and more often than workers who perceive their competence as being low [16][17][18][19][20][21][22].…”

Background Effective preparedness to respond to mass casualty incidents and disasters requires a well-planned and integrated effort by all involved professionals, particularly those who are working in healthcare, who are equipped with unique knowledge and skills for emergencies. This study aims to investigate and evaluate the level of knowledge and skills related to mass casualty and disaster management in a cohort of healthcare professionals. Methods A cross-sectional brief study was conducted using a validated and anonymous questionnaire, with a sample of 134 employees at a clinical hospital in Lublin, Poland. Results The findings of this study may indicate a need for standardization of training for hospitals employees. It also suggests a knowledge gap between different professional groups, which calls for adjusting such general training, to at least, the weakest group, while special tasks and mission can be given to other groups within the training occasion. Conclusion Pre-Training gap analyses and identification of participants’ competencies and skills should be conducted prior to training in mass casualty incidents and disasters. Such analyses provides an opportunity to develop training curriculum at various skill and knowledge levels from basic to advance. All training in mass casualty incidents and disasters should be subject to ongoing, not just periodic, evaluation, in order to assess continued competency.
