“…No previous studies have used the same program, participants, or research instruments, making direct comparisons difficult. However, our study findings were consistent with previous findings that public health workers' skills pertaining to SARS were enhanced after they had received tabletop exercise-based training for responding to SARS [15] and that nurses' disaster nursing competencies were improved after they had received tabletop exercise-based training for disaster responses [24,25]. Nursing competencies in disaster situations (including emerging infectious diseases) require competencies pertaining to patient severity classification, PPE, and psychological nursing care skills.…”

This study developed and evaluated a tabletop program for training nurses working in small- to medium-sized hospitals in areas with poor healthcare access for emerging a tabletop program for training emerging infectious disease responses in nurses working at small- to medium-sized hospitals in areas with poor healthcare access and evaluated infectious disease responses. A tabletop program for training responses to emerging infectious diseases was provided to 29 nurses at a general hospital with <300 beds in a region without a tertiary general hospital or healthcare institution with nationally designated inpatient wards for patients with infectious diseases. The 180 min program consisted of an online theoretical lecture (Phase 1), one-on-one drills (Phase 2), and a scenario-based tabletop exercise (Phase 3). To evaluate the program’s effect, pre- and post-knowledge, awareness, and competencies related to responses to emerging infectious diseases were assessed. The mean knowledge score significantly improved from 11.41 ± 2.33 before the training to 16.69 ± 2.48 after the training (z = −4.529, p < 0.001). The mean awareness score significantly improved from 80.83 ± 11.94 before the training to 85.45 ± 7.08 after the training (z = −2.335, p = 0.020). The mean competence score significantly increased from 67.31 ± 14.75 before the training to 79.38 ± 10.39 after the training (t = −6.187, p < 0.001). The tabletop exercise program effectively enhanced the nurses’ competencies in responding to emerging infectious diseases. The training program developed in this study may be utilized in addition to a simplified theoretical lecture to train nurses to improve their competency in responding to emerging infectious diseases.

“…However, little research has been conducted to examine the correlation between these factors and disaster competencies of nurses. Consequently, there is a lack of awareness regarding how to equip nurses with disaster competencies, apart from insufficient opportunities for receiving disaster nursing education [ 15 , 16 ].…”

Public health nurses are performing various roles during the COVID-19 pandemic: counseling, surveillance, specimen collection, epidemiological investigation, education, and vaccination. This study investigated their disaster competencies in the context of emerging infectious diseases, and identified their influencing factors based on Deci and Ryan’s self-determination theory. A convenience sample of 242 was selected from public health nurses working in a metropolitan city of South Korea. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation, and multiple regression analysis using the SPSS Statistics ver. 23.0. Results showed that the significant factors influencing disaster competencies included “willingness to respond to a disaster,” “preventive behavior,” “experience of receiving education on emerging infectious diseases response,” “public health center experience,” “job satisfaction,” and “education.” This regression model explained 33.2% of the variance in disaster competencies. “Willingness to respond to a disaster” was the strongest factor affecting disaster competencies. Based on these results, it is concluded that interventions to improve disaster competencies and psychological well-being of public health nurses are needed. Additionally, strategies such as creating a supportive work environment, deploying experienced nurses primarily on the front line, and reducing the tasks of permanent public health nurses should be implemented.

“…This result was contrary to those of other studies that showed that core disaster competencies differed by age and length of experience. 27,28 What the results suggest was that core disaster competencies were similar across all nurses regardless of sex, age, educational attainment, and area of work, as well as length of experience; highlighting the fact that core disaster competencies are expected to be acquired and of the highest level, if possible, among all nurses working in all departments since it is all nurses’ responsibility to be able to provide safe, and quality nursing care during disasters. 1,29 After all, nurses will not be grouped into specializations during an actual disaster – each and every 1 will be expected to perform a role specific to the demands of the population when the disaster or calamity occurs.…”

Objective: This study aims to identify the Jordanian nurses’ perception of their disaster preparedness and core competencies. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional research design was used. The data was collected via an online self-reported questionnaire using the disaster preparedness evaluation tool and the core disaster competencies tool. Results: A total of 126 nurses participated in the study. Jordanian nurses had moderate to high levels of core disaster competencies and moderate levels of disaster preparedness. Core disaster competencies and disaster preparedness levels differed based on previous training on disaster preparedness and the availability of an established emergency plan in their hospitals. Lastly, a previous training on disaster preparedness and core disaster competencies were statistically significant predictors of disaster preparedness among Jordanian nurses. Conclusions: Organizational factors and environmental contexts play a role in the development of such capabilities. Future research should focus on understanding the barriers and facilitators of developing core disaster competencies and disaster preparedness among nurses.
