“…The training made students in the EG better prepared to respond to disasters and increased their willingness to prepare. This finding is similar to those of studies in which training programmes increased the competence of nursing students in the intervention groups regarding disaster preparedness (Huh & Kang, 2019;Kılıç & Şimşek, 2019;Xia, Li, Chen, Jin, & Zhang, 2019).…”

“…The training given to student nurses is extremely important since managing postdisaster events as quickly as possible is critical to the ongoing mental health of victims (Grimes et al, 2020). After the training given to nursing students about psychological support response in case of disasters, students reported that they would manage postdisaster psychological problems more easily (Kılıç & Şimşek, 2019). In a study, the knowledge level of students about the recovery period in the disaster was reported to increase with the education program TA B L E 3 The extent to which the training given predicted the difference in the level of disaster preparedness perception and response self-efficacy The experimental group was coded as "1" and the control group as "0" in the analysis.…”

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.

“…A blend of the elements of the three commonly used models described above was also identified. These modified PFA training programmes were tailored for delivery to college students and school counsellors [ 52 , 53 , 54 ]. Amongst these mixed PFA models was the SIX Cs model (also known as immediate cognitive-functional PFA ICF-PFA), which contained six basic elements: cognitive communication, challenge and control, commitment and continuity [ 55 ].…”

Worldwide commitment to disseminate Psychological First Aid (PFA) training to enable frontline workers to support distressed individuals and/or manage their own self-care is increasing, but the evidence base of PFA training is uncertain. Method: a scoping review was undertaken by searching seven databases and hand-searching grey literature to maximise coverage of potential studies. Results: Twenty-three studies met the inclusion criteria. Three PFA training models were commonly used in research studies. A broad selection of PFA training outcomes were observed including learning, behavior, satisfaction and practice in crisis mental and behavior health preparedness. Conclusions: Research evidence of reasonable quality demonstrates that PFA training significantly improves knowledge of appropriate psychosocial response and PFA skills in supporting people in acute distress, thereby enhancing self-efficacy and promoting resilience. However, this review highlights inadequate guidance on how PFA training should be applied and adapted, significant shortcomings of reporting PFA training delivery, limited training evaluation and unclear training outcomes. Whilst behavioral, knowledge and system impact of the PFA training are promising, methodologically stronger evaluations which include systematic training adaptation and selection of sensitive outcome measures is needed to strengthen future implementation of PFA training and thereby enhance population preparedness for future emergencies.

“…However, the difference in populations and settings might be another reason for this variation in the findings. The increasing level of self-efficacy in nurses indicates fewer mental health problems among them and a growing sense of better disaster preparedness [24]. Having higher levels of self-efficacy enables an individual to perform at a higher level by motivating them to get rid of the problems [25].…”

The nursing profession is extremely demanding and stressful. Nurses have been facing a tremendous amount of fear and anxiety during the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. General self-efficacy is considered one of the most influential factors that can modify the impact of anxiety on nurses' mental health. In this study, we aimed to determine the predictors of self-efficacy and anxiety among nurses during the current COVID-19 pandemic. MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional survey involving 368 nurses working in a tertiary care hospital. The General Self-Efficacy scale (GSE) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 (GAD-7) were used for assessing selfefficacy and anxiety. The chi-square test followed by bivariate and multivariable regression analyses was performed to identify the determinants of self-efficacy and anxiety. ResultsThe mean age of the nurses was 28.91 years (SD=3.68), with a mean working experience in the nursing field of 5.32 years (SD=2.48). The mean self-efficacy and anxiety scores were 32.19 (SD=4.53) and 3.82 (SD=2.87), respectively. Multivariable analysis showed that higher age (>30 years, p=.003), professional education acquired through a diploma course instead of a graduate degree (p<.001), and lack of training on handling COVID-19 patients (p=.003) were significant determinants of higher anxiety among nurses. Similarly, higher economic status (p=.001), sufficient COVID-19 training (p=.049), having family members tested positive for COVID-19 (p=.012), professional experience (≤5 years, p<0.001), and quarantine period (≤14 days, p=.002) were revealed to be independent determinants of a higher sense of self-efficacy among nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. ConclusionReceiving adequate levels of training on COVID-19 plays a vital role in improving self-efficacy and reducing anxiety among nurses during the ongoing pandemic. Managing anxiety, increasing self-efficacy, and ensuring more exposure to COVID-19-related training may improve nurses' mental health and prepare them for fighting pandemics in a much better and more efficient manner.
