In Nursing Students, The Effect of Disaster Nursing Training Program on General Disaster Preparedness Belief State, Disaster Response Self-Efficiency and Psychological Resilience
In order to respond correctly to disasters, medical teams must have the necessary training and sufficient equipment. However, in many countries, disaster nursing education is not adequately included in nursing curricula (Kalanlar and Kublai, 2015). This is seen as an important situation affecting the capacity of nurses to respond to disasters. In particular, it is emphasized that providing disaster nursing and management training to nurse students will have positive consequences for disaster-affected individuals and communities, such as reduced death rates, improved health services, and reduced disaster-related costs (Kalanlar and Kublai, 2015). For this reason, disaster preparation of both nurses and student nurses is important for combating disasters.
It has been reported that nursing students provide assistance in issues such as monitoring the physical and psychological health of disaster victims, improving hygiene, and health counseling, using the knowledge and skills acquired in vocational education (Kashiwaba and Okudera, 2014; Tomizawa et al., 2014). Some studies have shown that student nurses do not have sufficient knowledge and skills in disaster preparedness and response (Schmidt et al., 2011; Smithers et al., 2020). However, in most schools where the curricula of domestic nursing schools are examined, disaster nursing courses are conducted as electives rather than majors. Despite these limitations, nursing students tops the teams that have a key role in a potential disaster or disaster (Satoh et al., 2016). Therefore, groups that can contribute during disaster response must have sufficient knowledge and skills. Because the lack of experience during intervention leads to stress and fear of intervening in disasters, while the belief that it is adequately prepared for disaster situations increases confidence in intervening in disasters. To overcome the lack of experience in Disaster Response, Education that will provide insight into the reality of disaster response is important.
To achieve the goal of training medical personnel capable of disaster response, a variety of training methods are needed, such as not only in-depth theory training, but also Case-Based Learning and practice in simulated situations with a multidisciplinary approach. In this context, the education model that stands out in the literature is the disaster nursing and management model developed by Jening. Jenning's disaster nursing management model was developed directly for Nurse students and describes the nurse's duties at each stage of Disaster Management. It is a model developed to explain disaster nursing to students and to provide them with knowledge about disaster management. In this aspect, the model differs from other disaster management models (Jennings Sanders, 2004).
The aim of this research is to evaluate the impact of disaster nursing and management education given to students using Jenning's disaster nursing and management model on general disaster preparedness belief state, disaster response self-efficiency and psychological resilience of students.
