Introduction This study explores the preparedness of our emergency department during the COVID-19 outbreak from the nurses’ perspectives, providing a reference and basis for our emergency department’s response to public health emergencies. Methods Using qualitative research methods, semistructured interviews were conducted with 12 emergency nurses who met the inclusion criteria, and Colaizzi analysis was used for data analysis, summary, and induction. Results A cluster of 4 themes that involved preparedness of the emergency department during the COVID-19 outbreak was extracted: organizational preparedness, personal preparedness, patient and family preparedness, and deficiencies and challenges. Discussion Organizations, individuals, patients, and family members were actively prepared to respond to novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreak in the emergency department. The emergency nurses said that the trusted organization guaranteed personal preparedness, and the active cooperation from patients and families was a motivator for personal preparedness. In addition, our study showed that there were deficiencies in both multidisciplinary collaboration efforts and efforts to rapidly diagnose and treat patients with fever in critical condition.

Background: Indonesia is one of the countries that is prone to natural disaster. There are between 1,500-2,000 cases of natural disasters annually and most of the cases are related to hydro meteorological activities such as flood. Preparedness is a critical phase in disaster management as it is able to decrease or prevent negative effects of natural disasters for example negative effects of natural disaster in health sector. Nurse preparedness is one of the determining factors in describing how severe effects of natural disasters are in health sector.Objective: To identify and analyze relationship between personal self-efficacy and flood disaster preparedness of Indonesian nurses.Method: The study used analytical observational design with cross sectional approach. The population was 191 nurses and the samples were 160 nurses working in public health centers. The sampling method was purposive sampling. The setting on the study was 5 public health services located in areas prone to flood in Kendari, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Spearman rank correlational test was used for data analysis with significant level (α) =0.05.Results: Spearman Rank correlational test showed a significant relationship between self-efficacy and flood disaster preparedness of nurses (p =0.00 and r =0.63).Conclusion: Personal factor such as nurses’ self-efficacy in dealing with flood is related to their flood disaster preparedness in Kendari, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia.

“…The alternative care site (ACS) evolved at this children’s hospital through a request from the state government but was a recommendation from previous pandemic experiences to prepare for hospital/healthcare overflow and surge situations (Jester et al, 2018; Lowery et al, 2017). The Children’s Hospital Association (CHA) outlined recommendations to assist in providing care in the COVID-19 pandemic, which first addressed pediatric patients transferred from community hospitals, to allow the adult patients additional space in an environment where adult care is well known (CHA, 2020).…”

The role of pediatric hospitals in the COVID-19 pandemic changed quickly. The team of clinical nurse specialists and clinical nurse educators in a large pediatric hospital were instrumental in the institutional response through simulations, serving as change agents, collaboration, and implementing systems thinking. Leveraging the expertise of this team during this historical and unprecedented time optimized patient and associate safety as part of a pediatric hospital's COVID-19 response. COVID-19 has introduced a "new normal" way of life, especially for nurses and all healthcare providers, with the challenge of maintaining safety and continuing promotion of excellent patient care practices. Despite ongoing U.S. preparedness planning for a pandemic, incorporating recommendations from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the novel coronavirus has presented challenges far beyond any expected or imagined. Since 2014, the CDC and WHO have updated and published essential steps for a national pandemic plan, and the Department of Health and Human Services updated the pandemic influenza plan in 2017 (Jester et al., 2018). The basis of this planning included personal protective measures, social distancing, and other methods to slow the transfer of the virus, along with adequate hospital beds and equipment, which are all part of the present plan to manage COVID-19 (Jester et al., 2018). However, previous planning did not address the current situation in the United States and the world, which includes a deadly virus with significant infectious characteristics in a population lacking any known immunity or previous exposure. COVID-19 has affected and changed everyday life as it was known only several months ago and came into being with limited information and understanding and continues to evolve.The lack of knowledge and experience in dealing with this novel virus was obvious, requiring health care, in general, and specifically nurses who are at the forefront of
