Aim: To analyse clinical nurses' educational needs and disaster response readiness and the factors influencing their disaster response readiness.
Design: This was a cross-sectional study.
Methods: A convenience sample comprising 260 nurses with more than a year of working experience at a hospital in Korea was selected from 1-31 August 2019. Data on nurses' educational needs and disaster response readiness were collected from participants. A multiple regression model was used to examine the factors influencing disaster response readiness among nurses.
Results: Factors influencing personal readiness were number of years of clinical experience, being female, working in a medical ward, and educational needs for disaster response. Factors influencing self-protection were working in a medical ward and working in the emergency room. Factors influencing the emergency response were working in a medical ward and working in the emergency room. Factors influencing clinical management were a graduate-level education or higher, working in a medical ward, working in the emergency room, working in the paediatric ward, experience receiving disaster-related education, and educational needs for disaster response.
Conclusion: It is essential to be aware of the educational needs and disaster readiness of hospital clinical nurses, to develop their capacity to respond such situations. In addition, to improve the disaster competency of nurses, it is necessary to develop an education programme that considers the factors influencing disaster response readiness in this study.
Impact: Nurses must have the knowledge and skills to respond to a disaster. Nurse educators should help nurses strengthen their disaster-related knowledge, skills, and judgment. Hospital administrators should encourage nurse educators to provide disaster-related training and simulation-based education to increase nurses' disaster competency to act during disasters.
目标: 分析临床护士的教育需求、灾害应急准备及其影响因素。 设计: 一次横断面研究。 方法: 从2019年8月1日至31日选出260名在韩国某医院工作超过一年的护士作为便利样本。从参与者那里收集了关于护士教育需求和灾害应急准备方面的数据。采用多元回归模型探讨影响护士灾害应对准备的因素。 结果: 影响个人准备程度的因素有临床工作年限、女性、内科病房工作以及灾害应对的教育需求。影响自我保护的因素有内科病房工作和急诊室工作。影响应急应对的因素有内科病房工作和急诊室工作。影响临床管理的因素有研究生以上学历、内科病房工作、急诊室工作、儿科病房工作、接受灾害相关教育的经验以及灾害应对的教育需求。 结论: 至关重要的是要认识到医院临床护士的教育需求和灾害准备能力,以培养他们应对此类情况的能力。此外,为了提高护士的灾害应对能力,本研究有必要制定一项考虑灾害应对准备影响因素的教育项目。 影响: 护士必须具备灾难应对方面的知识和技能。护士行业的教育工作者应帮助护士加强灾难相关的知识、技能和判断力。医院管理者应鼓励护士教育工作者提供灾难相关的培训和模拟教育,以提高护士在灾害中采取行动的能力。.
