“…Consistent with the literature, we found that perceived overall self‐knowledge affects households’ danger control responses (Labrague et al., 2021; Mariam et al., 2021; Ngo et al., 2020). While we found households with a responsive attitude are correlated with higher perceived self‐knowledge for induced earthquakes, the perceived self‐knowledge for tornadoes is not correlated with perceived threat or efficacy.…”

“…Emotional responses to and knowledge about the threat are also recognized in some EPPM studies as “individual differences,” which are correlated with appraisals of threat and efficacy (Chen et al., 2021; Lin & Chen, 2021; Popova, 2012). Knowledge of hazards is also found to increase both risk perceptions and the intention of adopting hazard adjustments (Mariam et al., 2021; Ngo et al., 2020) and self‐efficacy (Labrague et al., 2021).…”

Oklahoma is a multihazard environment where both natural (e.g., tornadoes) and technological hazards (e.g., induced seismicity) are significant, making Oklahoma a unique setting to better understand how to manage and prepare for multiple hazards. While studies have attempted to understand drivers of hazard adjustments, few have focused on the overall number of adjustments undertaken instead of individual adjustments or adjustments in a multihazard environment. To address these gaps, we employ a survey sample of 866 households in Oklahoma to understand households’ danger control responses (protective hazard adjustments) for tornado and earthquake risks in Oklahoma. We apply the extended parallel processing model (EPPM) to categorize respondents according to their relative level of perceived threat and efficacy of protective actions in predicting the number of hazard adjustments they intend to or have adopted in response to tornadoes and induced earthquakes. In line with the EPPM, we found that households have the highest number of danger control responses when their perceived threat and efficacy are both high. Counter to the EPPM literature, we found low threat coupled with high efficacy moved some individuals toward the adoption of danger control responses in response to both tornadoes and earthquakes. When households have high efficacy, threat appraisals matter in tornado danger control responses but not in earthquake danger control responses. This EPPM categorization opens new research approaches for studies of natural and technological hazards. This study also provides information for local officials and emergency managers making mitigation and preparedness investments and policies.

“…Intensive care nurses are actively involved in the management of patients who require urgent and critical care. In addition, these special unit nurses are often alerted during emergencies and have received the relevant training to better respond and manage incidents in accidents and disaster situations Several basic courses can further enhance their skills (Jiang et al, 2022; Labrague et al, 2021). Therefore, nurses with experience working in intensive care units have higher knowledge about responding to emergency and disaster situations.…”

“…We assessed that the disaster response self‐efficacy of participants was sufficient. Labrague et al (2021) conducted a study on nurses in Oman and reported that the participant nurses' self‐efficacy in disaster response was moderate. In a study conducted with 142 nurses working in six Public Health Centers in Pangandaran, Indonesia, it was determined that more than half of the participants had a high level of disaster preparedness (Emaliyawati et al, 2021).…”

In the present cross‐sectional study, we determined the self‐efficacy of nurses to apply psychological first aid (PFA) during disasters. The study sample consisted of 580 nurses working in Turkey. The data were collected online between July and November 2022 using the “Personal Information Form” and the “PFA Application Self‐Efficacy Scale.” The data were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods (number, percentage, mean, and standard deviation), generalized linear models, Bonferroni correction, and linear regression analysis. The mean PFA scale scores of male nurses, nurses working in intensive care units, working as service nurses, nurses who have previously received PFA training and applied PFA in disaster situations were higher. Moreover, 91.3% of nurses did not receive PFA training and 90.3% did not receive PFA service earlier, 31.0% did not apply for PFA, 18.3% did not know about PFA. The mean score of the PFA practice self‐efficacy scale of nurses was 131.61 ± 19.41. There exists an urgent requirement to develop nurses' PFA application self‐efficacy. It is recommended that nurses should be provided repeated PFA training and applied studies focusing on PFA interventions.

Objective: This study was conducted to reveal the relationship between nursing students’ disaster response self-efficacy and their disaster preparedness perceptions. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on nursing students after a major earthquake that occurred in Turkey on February 6, 2023 (n = 302). Data collection took place from June 2023 to October 2023, using the Disaster Response Self-Efficacy Scale (DRSES) and Disaster Preparedness Perception Scale (DPPS). Descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test, correlation, and multiple linear regression analysis were used to analyze the data. Results: Nursing students’ DRSES mean score was 63.35 ± 10.83 (moderate level) and DPPS mean score was 3.41 ± 0.50 (high level). A positive and moderate correlation was found between nursing students’ DRSES and DPPS scores (r = 0.515; P = 0.000). Predictors affecting nursing students’ disaster preparedness are disaster response self-efficacy score, being male, and making a family disaster plan. Conclusions: The results of this study highlight the importance of increasing the disaster response self-efficacy needed by nursing students to successfully assist patients in disaster situations.
