The Effect of Disaster Awareness, Attitude, Preparedness on the Basic Competencies of Disaster Nursing among Nursing Students

Effectiveness of the Patient’s Severity Classification Competency Promotion Virtual Reality Program of Nursing Students during the COVID-19 Pandemic Period

“…Additionally, studies that systematically educated nurses on severity classification and verified the education methods’ effectiveness were only partially conducted with military nursing personnel and ER nurses [ 7 , 11 ]. Particularly, most severity classification-related education for nursing students comprises lectures, case studies, case-based small-group learning methods, and simulation education using high-fidelity simulations [ 12 , 13 , 14 ]. However, the ability to classify the severity of emergency patients cannot be effectively acquired with theoretical knowledge transfer through simple lecture-based learning [ 7 ].…”

A study on the types of disaster awareness in nursing students: Q methodology

“…The need to provide the basics for disaster nursing to nursing students has also been raised [ 12 , 13 ]. Disaster education should be included as an essential part of the nursing curriculum because all disasters start locally, and nurses must be aware of the various disaster situations that can occur, as well as have adequate and effective response capabilities [ 14 ].…”

“…Nevertheless, disaster education is covered only in some nursing schools, and research on disasters knowledge among nursing students is insufficient [ 14 – 16 ]. Nurses or nursing students in Korea have a vague conception of disaster or disaster nursing and may fall into a panic when an actual disaster occurs [ 15 ].…”

Relationship Between Nursing Students’ Awareness of Disaster, Preparedness for Disaster, Willingness to Participate in Disaster Response, and Disaster Nursing Competency

“…30 Several studies have been conducted on disaster experience, disaster awareness, disaster nursing awareness, disaster preparedness, willingness to participate in disaster response, and disaster nursing competency among nursing students in Korea and abroad. 1,10,12,20,[31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39] While most of the studies conducted abroad investigated the perception of disaster preparedness 35,36 and the willingness to participate in disaster response, 38,39 several studies conducted in South Korea have confirmed the relationship among disaster awareness, disaster preparedness, and disaster nursing competency. 1,10,[31][32][33][34] Only 1 study has examined willingness to participate in disaster response, 37 while, to the researchers' knowledge, none have been conducted after the COVID-19 outbreak.…”

Furthermore, few studies have explored the willingness to participate in a disaster response, and few studies have confirmed its relationship with disaster awareness, disaster preparedness, and disaster nursing competency.…”
