Nurses play a critical part in disaster response, and having nursing skills to be prepared for a disaster is essential and valuable. Healthcare workers must be explicitly trained to respond during catastrophe; thus, this study focused to determine the student nurse's knowledge, attitude, and practices on disaster preparedness as future care provider. This utilized a quantitative descriptive-correlational approach, total enumeration sampling, and used a four-part survey questionnaire. The result showed that most respondents were female, aged 18 to 22, and a resident of rural area. Nursing students have a sufficient understanding of disaster preparedness, including the importance of effective disaster planning and preparation, disaster warnings and indicators, and the appropriate responses to consider in the event of a disaster. The nursing students have a positive attitude toward disaster preparedness, particularly regarding their families' safety. Nursing students agree that they have sufficient disaster preparedness strategies, although they are not always mentally and physically prepared when a disaster occurs. Findings revealed that students' disaster preparedness knowledge and practices significantly correlate with their demographic profile; their social integration improve as they progress through the year levels. Based on the collected data, the nursing students' knowledge, attitude, and practices are satisfactory; however, there is still potential to expand and enhance disaster preparedness knowledge, attitude, and practices. Continuing education and training workshops to become proficient in disaster preparedness could help students improve knowledge, attitude, and practices, resulting in better management and preparation for potential disaster occurrences.

“…The lack of necessary competencies and preparation of nurses for disaster risk management can increase the adverse consequences of disasters because competent nurses are essential for both the healthcare system and the society [ 13 ]. In low-income countries like Iran, these consequences are comparatively higher [ 14 ], as the disaster risk management system is not adequately organized and prepared to respond to disasters [ 15 ]. Iran is one of the most disaster-prone countries, considering its size, geographical location, and climatic diversity [ 16 ].…”

Background Healthcare providers, particularly nurses, play a critical role in mitigating the impact of disasters on victims and the healthcare system. However, nurses face unique challenges in disasters that may not experience in their daily practice, which can make it harder for them to deal with disasters efficiently. This study aimed to investigate the challenges faced by nurses for disaster response. Methods A qualitative content analysis approach was used in this study. Purposeful sampling was used to select 24 nurses working in the emergency departments of hospitals in Kerman, southeastern Iran. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using MAXQDA10. The conventional content analysis method proposed by Graneheim and Lundman was used to analyze the data. Results The analysis of the findings resulted in one major category, insufficient ability of nurses to respond to disasters, and five subcategories: diverse nursing conditions during disasters, inappropriate interactive platform during disasters, the presence of obstacles to teamwork, lack of platform for nurses to acquire adequate disaster risk management competence, and moral tension in complex disaster situations. Conclusions Determining the challenges that nurses face during disasters is essential for improving disaster response efforts, promoting disaster preparedness, ensuring appropriate care for patients, and reducing emotional fatigue among nurses. Finally, nursing leaders, healthcare policymakers and governments should use these findings to better support the nursing workforce in disasters.
