“…In fact, an evaluation of the psychological status of 1300 victims of the hydrogen fluoride leak found that 374 were suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and anxiety disorder [2]. If the initial response to these psychological problems is delayed, the sufferers may experience long-term effects, such as suicide, alcoholism, domestic violence, drug addiction, and depression, which can affect the social fabric of their community [3,4].…”

Background Simulation-based education facilitates a learner-centered experience, which has been found to be effective in improving clinical performance, problem-solving ability, and self-confidence in nursing practice. The objective of this study was to develop and test a psychological first aid simulation-based education program for nurses caring for adolescents exposed to hazardous chemical disasters. Methods This study employed a nonequivalent pre and post-control group research design. The simulation-based education program was developed, and the participants were 30 nurses working in a medical center who were randomly assigned to the experimental, comparison, and control groups. The collected data were statistically analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Ver. 22.0. Results The nurses who participated in the simulation-based education program showed statistically significantly improved psychological first aid performance knowledge, competence, and self-efficacy compared to those in the other groups. Conclusions Nursing simulation programs could help to improve nurses’ performance in mental health care and psychological support for adolescents suffering from hazardous chemical disasters.

Social distancing, shutdown, and lockdown policies have recently been implemented worldwide to help slow the spread of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which has caused economic, social, and cultural crises on a global scale. To help create safe communities, we aimed to analyze the factors affecting the public’s anxiety and efficacy to overcome crises. The results show that efficacy is associated with sex, education, central government support, the public hygiene environment, and public hygiene behaviors. Anxiety was shown to have a negative relationship with central government support, a positive relationship with civilian support, and a negative relationship with efficacy. For a country to prevent the spread of a novel infectious disease, alleviate the anxiety of the population, and construct a safe community in the midst of a global pandemic, active central government support and response, protection of vulnerable populations, publicization of policies, and crisis management communication are essential. In particular, identifying an evidence-based method to understand and address the psychological and social influences of COVID-19, such as excessive fear and discrimination, providing insight into risk factors associated with future society for policy makers, and establishing potential and sustainable public health communication strategies are of paramount importance.

“…Recently, however, some controlled experimental research on the effectiveness of PFA training of first responders in emergency settings has been published. These studies have shown that the group of first responders that received the PFA training scored higher than controls on PFA knowledge (Kang and Choi 2021 ; Sijbrandij et al 2020 ), self-efficacy, and disaster preparation (Kang and Choi 2021 ; Kilic and Simsek 2019 ; Park and Choi 2020 ), while their PFA performance competence in a simulation-based PFA training was elevated (Kang and Choi 2021 ; Park and Choi 2020 ).…”

A significant lack of evidence regarding the effectiveness of psychological first aid (PFA) training of first responders to emergency settings has been reported. The aim of the present study was to assess the effectiveness of a PFA training program on the feeling of confidence on providing help in crisis, knowledge, attitudes, and skills of police officers. Fifty police officers were trained in PFA, using an adapted version of the World Health Organization’s program, and they were compared to a control group of 53 police officers. A PFA questionnaire was used to compare the two groups, before and after the implementation of the PFA training. Results revealed significant improvementson confidence, knowledge, attitudes, and skills of trained police officers, in comparison to controls. Thus, the present results suggest that PFA training programs are effective and should be offered to police officers in order to enhance their capacity to provide PFA in emergency settings.
