Abstract:

AbstractObjectiveMajor disasters occurring within the Unites States require nursing participation as a component of a successful response. Disaster nursing includes the care of populations affected by disasters, public health emergencies, and mass casualty events, both natural and man-made. A unique knowledge base, abilities, and skills are needed to respond appropriately to health care and human service needs resulting from these events.MethodsDespite prior efforts to advance disaster nursing as a specialty, none were sustainable and a professional framework for establishing standards and guidelines remains lacking.ResultsDisaster nursing is a complex arena where the intersection of competence, scope of practice, regulation, and clinical guidelines continues to evolve. Professional credibility and our contribution to disaster response lie in our ability to articulate and advance professionalism. Disaster nursing as a specialty practice requires a similar foundational framework to nursing specialties recognized by the American Nurses Association within a model of professional practice in order to ensure population outcomes that are reflective of safe, quality, evidence-based practice.ConclusionsIt is time to define a disaster nursing scope of practice, establish standards for care, identify best practices, and pursue the establishment of an independent professional organization within the field of disaster nursing. This will establish the necessary foundation for optimizing nursing’s contribution to and support of the National Health Security Strategy. (Disaster Med Public Health Preparedness. 2017;11:641–646)

Abstract:

Disaster management is a comprehensive approach to both preventing and responding to disasters. All aspects of preparedness, rescue, relief, and rehabilitation activities, as well as preventive and protective measures, are included in disaster management. India’s natural landscape is incredibly diversified, and as a result, a significant share of the reported catastrophe victims in Asia in 2015 was from India. Due to its unique geo-climatic conditions, the country is among the ones that are most susceptible to natural disasters in the world. Disaster nursing is the adaptation of professional nursing knowledge, skills, and attitude in recognizing and meeting the nursing, health, and emotional needs of disaster victims. Nurses occupy a unique role in lobbying for organized, profit-driven healthcare amid emergencies. Nurses are necessary to prevent, monitor, and react to any circumstance. Due to the small sample size of the study, the nursing students’ understanding of and attitudes regarding disaster management and emergency preparedness were lacking. Nursing students may benefit from a disaster nursing education program that will increase their preparedness for and awareness of disasters. It was discovered that the disaster nursing and management teaching program offered to nursing students improved attitudes toward overall preparedness for disasters, self-efficacy in disaster response, and psychological resilience. Disaster management teaching has a significant impact on nursing students’ degree of preparedness for emergencies and knowledge.

Abstract:

Various disasters have occurred due to lack of knowledge and unpreparedness of the community in the pre-disaster phase. In fact, preparedness has not become a permanent behavior in society so that if a disaster occurs, it is predicted that they will not take care themselves and others. Nursing students as prospective nursing staff must be equipped with knowledge, attitudes and practices in dealing with disasters. This quantitative research aims to determine the effectiveness of the school-based disaster management education model on the knowledge and preparedness of nursing students. A quasi-experimental method is used in the form of a one group pretest-posttest design on 80 Diploma III Nursing students who were trained by facilitators for 6 months. Data were collected using questionnaires and observations, then analyzed using the Paired t-test and Multiple Linear Regression (95% CI; α=0.05). The results showed that disaster management education model can increase knowledge (p=0.000) and preparedness (p=0.002) in facing disasters. Disaster preparedness is significantly related in predicting disaster knowledge scores (r=0.708). If a disaster occurs, nursing students are able to help themselves and the disaster victims. This model can also be used as an evaluation of learning outcomes for the Disaster Nursing course

Abstract:

Introduction:Despite a large number of nurses involved in disaster situations in different ways, there are few theories or models that define and describe the goal and content of disaster nursing.Aim:This study aimed to present a model for disaster nursing, based on a literature review of the concept and content of disaster nursing.Methods:A systematic literature review of 15 original qualitative or quantitative articles was conducted. A thematic synthesis was used to analyze the data.Results:The main theme of Disaster Nursing: Crossing Borders, included three dimensions (personal borders, professional borders and environmental borders) and four themes describing the process of disaster nursing (being hit by reality; adapting to the conditions; providing aid, relief, and caring; recovering, remembering, and growing). Based on these results the HOPE model was developed. ‘HOPE’ stands for ‘Holistic health assessment and promotion; Organization and management of immediate response; Professional adaptation; Endurance and recovery.Discussion:The HOPE model for disaster nursing describes the core element and essence of nursing in the disaster response phase and can serve as guidance both for nurses deployed in disasters and in disaster nursing training.

Abstract:

IntroductionNurses are leaders and primary health responder/providers in natural, anthropic and technological disasters. Preparation and education for nursing emergency and disaster response should begin before nursing program graduation and before disaster events occur. In Louisiana, 17 federally-declared disaster declarations were experienced from 2000 – 2009, ranging from the Space Shuttle “Columbia” to Hurricane “Katrina”. This presentation overviews Louisiana nursing programs' disaster preparedness and operational planning as demonstrated to Louisiana's Schools of Nursing Aligned for Emergency Responsiveness (SAFER) Conference, New Orleans, 2010. Co-sponsored by Dillard University, Division of Nursing, New Orleans, and Northwestern State University, College of Nursing, Shreveport, the invitational conference brought expert nurse and physician preparedness speakers from federal, state and local venues to review disaster planning, experiences, needs, and nurse preparedness competencies with nurse faculty leadership.MethodsA multiple choice survey was developed, trialed and emailed to 42 Louisiana Nursing Programs. Programs surveyed included Associate degree, Bachelors and Graduate-level providers for Registered Nurses as well as Vocational Technical programs for the Licensed Practical Nurse. National Planning Scenario threat priorities; impacts of federally declared disasters on Louisiana nursing programs; nursing program roles in disaster; and awareness of nurse emergency preparedness competencies were queried.Results34 of 42 surveys were returned. 20 were complete. Nursing programs were located state-wide and found in 7 of 9 Louisiana regions. Surveyed programs offered a Bachelors degree (45%); Graduate degree (35%); Associate degree (35%) and vocational or Licensed Practical Nursing (35%).ConclusionsThe majority of Louisiana nursing programs and their health communities have been impacted by federally declared disasters. Coordinated efforts to improve nursing program preparedness education, roles and responsibility are warranted as vulnerability increases.

AbstractBackgroundInternationally there is an increasing amount of peer-reviewed literature pertaining to disaster nursing. The literature includes personal anecdotes, reflections, and accounts of single case studies. Furthermore, issues such as the willingness of nurses to assist in disasters, the role of nurses in disasters, leadership, competencies, and educational preparedness for nurses have been the focus of the literature.AimThe aim of this research was to determine the international research priorities for disaster nursing.MethodThis research used a three-round Delphi technique. The first round used a face-to-face workshop to generate research statements with nursing members of the World Association for Disaster and Emergency Medicine (WADEM). The second and third rounds included the ranking of statements on a 5-point Likert scale with nursing members of WADEM and the World Society of Disaster Nursing (WSDN). Statements that achieved a mean of four or greater were considered a priority and progressed.ResultsParticipants were from multiple countries. Research statements were generated in the areas of: education, training, and curriculum; psychosocial; strategy, relationship, and networking; and clinical practice. Psychosocial aspects of disaster nursing ranked the highest, with five statements appearing in the top ten research areas, followed by statements relating to: education, training, and curriculum; clinical practice; and finally, strategy, relationship, and networking.ConclusionsFuture disaster nursing research should focus on the area of psychosocial aspects of disaster nursing, in particular, both the psychosocial needs of a disaster-affected community and the psychosocial wellbeing of nurses who assist in disaster health activities.RanseJ,HuttonA,JeeawodyB,WilsonR.What are the research needs for the field of disaster nursing?

Abstract:

ObjectiveTo identify attitudes and understanding of Chinese undergraduate nursing students towards disaster, therefore providing information for the development of a disaster nursing curriculum in the Chinese context.MethodsA total 214 undergraduate nursing students (Year 1 to 4) in one medical university in China were surveyed in 2010.ResultsThe majority of undergraduate nursing students (94.9%) were concerned about disaster, 46.7% of them thought they were very knowledgeable about disaster, while 39.3% of them stated they were moderately knowledgeable about disaster. The most popular way for the students to get information about disaster was television (88.3%), followed by internet (67.8%) and newspaper (45.8%). Only 33.6% of them said they gained information from the university. Earthquake (93.7% of students) and flood (36.1% of students) were mentioned by the students as examples of disasters that have occurred in China. The majority of students said the Wenchuan earthquake (2008) was the disaster that had the greatest impression on them. Five aspects were identified from their description of disaster, which included the cause, category, characteristic, impact and type of disaster. 36.4% of students were certain that disaster would happen again in China. A further 50.9% felt disaster was likely. Flood and earthquake were considered the most likely future disasters. 71% of nursing students strongly agreed that being prepared for disaster was important. The main reasons were better preparedness could decrease the damage to property and the incidence of death and injury. However, the level of understanding of the effects of disaster and the exposure of students to education about disaster health response was limited.ConclusionKnowledge and skills for disaster preparedness of nursing students should be strengthened in the medical university.

Abstract:

The Red Cross traditional method of Disaster Health System (DHS) response is ' boots on the ground.' Texas, the 2nd largest state by population and land mass, has only 15 DHS volunteer nurses who were not able to meet the needs of disaster victims in Texas with the traditional response method. The Texas Red Cross DHS volunteer nurses began piloting a virtual DHS model in 2014. The research question was how Texas Red Cross nurses designed, developed, implemented, and evaluated the Texas Red Cross virtual DHS Model. The purpose of this case study was to provide this information in a case study. The research approach followed a single investigator case study design that utilized Roger's diffusion of innovations theory and Lewin's change theory to identify how this virtual pilot was created and implemented in Texas. The processes developed and utilized are provided in detail in this case study. Data maintained by the Texas DHS team from March, 2016 to March, 2017 provided evidence that all 1,724 cases assigned to the DHS team were worked and closed by a Texas DHS volunteer. A qualitative summary of nurses' satisfaction with this model was uniformly positive. This provided support for the use of the virtual model for communication to meet the disaster-related health needs of disaster victims in Texas. The use of a virtual model for disaster management supports positive social change in addressing the disaster-related health needs of disaster victims in Texas and for possible use by other Red Cross DHS stakeholders.

Abstract:

Bakgrund: Humanitära insatser i kris- och katastrofområden har en historia där sjuksköterskans roll är central. Att komma som sjuksköterska till ett krisdrabbat område med detta enorma ansvar och att jobba under flera veckor, ofta månader, i en ny miljö ställer enorma krav på sjuksköterskans kompetens. Även andra åtskilliga förmågor så som kulturell kompetens, ledar- och organisationsförmåga, samarbete och flexibilitet sätts på prov. Sjuksköterskan förväntas vägleda, dirigera och samordna de professioner som jobbar runt sjuksköterskan samtidigt som denne själv ska ansvara för andras säkerhet och omvårdnad. Detta i en värld där natur och människoskapade katastrofer ökat drastiskt de senaste åren. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva utmaningar sjuksköterskor upplever under ett humanitärt uppdrag. Metod: Denna studie är en litteraturöversikt baserad på tio vetenskapliga artiklar med kvalitativ ansats. Dessa valdes ut, granskades och sammanställdes utifrån likheter och skillnader. Resultat: Fyra teman identiferades; ”sjuksköterskans roll”, ”vård i skottlinjen”, ”levnadsförhållanden” och ”kulturella aspekter” Slutsats: Det finns ett flertal utmaningar som potentiellt kan förhindra ett effektivt och optimalt arbete. En tydlig bild över vilka dessa utmaningar är, framhävande arbetsmiljön, skulle möjliggöra sjuksköterskor som är bättre förberedda inför framtida humanitära insatser. Klinisk betydelse: Författarna vill framhäva det faktum att förberedelser baserad på adekvat information skulle förbereda sjuksköterskor för humanitära insatser.<br>Background: Humanitarian assistance in crisis- and disaster areas have a history in which nurse’s role become central. To come as a nurse to an ailing area with this grande responsibility and to work for several weeks in a new environment places enormous demands on nurses’ skills. Other various skills such as cultural competence, leadership- and organizational skills, cooperation and flexibility are also a necessity. The nurse is expected to guide, direct and coordinate the working team while he/she himself will perform his/hers own duties as a nurse while being responsible for the safety of others and their care. The environment in which these nurses work is by definition challenging but have during receant years become even more so due to natural and manmade disasters. Aims: The aim of this study was to describe the challenges that the nurses’ experience during a humanitarian mission. Methods: This study is a literature overview based on ten qualitative, peer-reviewd, articles. The articles were chosen and analysed on the basis of similarities and differences. Results: Four themes were identified; “the nurses’ role”, “healthcare in the firing line”, “living conditions” and “cultural aspects”. Conclusion: There is a number of challenges that potentially could prevent a efficient and optimal job. A clear image regarding these challenges emphasizeing humanitarian working envionment could enable a nurse more prepared for future humanitarian assignments. Clinical implications: The authors emphasize that a preparation based on adequate information would prepare nurses for humanitarian missions.

Abstract:

The National Response Plan (NRP) was developed to provide support during national disasters. The U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) Corps is 1 of the 7 uniform services and contributes to the mission of the (NRP). The USPHS Commissioned Corps (CC) Officers may be deployed for national disasters at any time and they must be ready to deploy. The purpose of this phenomenological qualitative study was to explore the lived experiences of USPHS CC Nurse Officers who have deployed in response to disasters in the United States. This study addressed the gap in literature related to the deployment perception of USPHS Nurse Officers and may lead to an increase in deployment readiness. The lifeworld theory was used to guide the study that addressed the question of how nurse officers of the USPHS CC described their clinical nursing experience while deployed. Selection criteria used to recruit the 10 participants included USPHS Nurse Officers in non-clinical billets that have deployed in support of hurricane responses in 2017. In-depth interviews were conducted, and data were organized and analyzed using NVivo analysis software. The themes that emerged from the data included characteristics of nurse officers, clinical preparedness, training needs, challenges, and lessons learned. USPHS Nurse Officers perceived other nurse officers as resourceful, skillful educators, felt comfortable and prepared during the deployment, recommended additional training to benefit future Corps deployments, and identified physical and emotional challenges they experienced. These findings may assist in promoting positive social change within nursing practice of the USPHS Nurse Officers as it may enhance and improve readiness training, and USPHS policies for deployment readiness.

Abstract:

After the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center, public health garnered more attention. This event forced public health nurses to acquire new roles needed to respond to disasters. The purpose of this project was to synthesize the current evidence related to the role of nurses during disaster preparedness and apply that evidence to public health nurses. The practice question focused on the role of nurses during disasters which were not a part of their normal daily activity. The Fineout-Overholt, Melnyk, Stillwell, and Williamson hierarchy for grading evidence was the theoretical framework used. A systematic literature review was conducted to synthesize the current evidence and answer the proposed practice questions. After removing exclusion criteria, there were 3 articles evaluated and graded for levels of evidence. Much of the current literature offered recommendations for competencies, role identification for nurses during disaster preparedness by their employers, curriculum development, and training needed for nurses to identify their role during disasters. A suggested recommendation based on this project is to conduct a mixed methods study to help identify the specific role of the public health nurse during disasters. Obtaining a broader perspective of the role for the public health nurse during disasters can provide a better understanding of the new roles and duties they can assume. The social implication of these findings is that local health departments can identify the role of public health nurses during disaster preparedness and improve the nurse's response to disasters, thereby protecting the health of populations.

Abstract:

<p> Over the last half a century, the frequency and intensity of tornados, floods, and other severe weather events have underscored the need for disaster preparedness, particularly for older adults. Functional limitations, cognitive decline, and medical comorbidities such as heart disease and diabetes create additional vulnerabilities, regardless of the type of disaster. Still, elders are capable of self-identifying needs and can be empowered to prepare communication plans, assemble disaster kits, and learn how to respond to threats posed by specific disasters. By increasing the level of disaster preparedness through training, many of the health problems faced by elders during a disaster could be alleviated and their overall response improved. Yet despite their abilities and the known benefits of disaster preparedness, disaster education and planning for elders has not been widely implemented.</p><p> The purpose of the Geriatric Passport Project was to increase the level of disaster preparedness through implementation of a disaster education program among community-dwelling older adults over the age of 55. Recruitment strategies included media, engaging key staff from program sites, and word of mouth. </p><p> The project used a pre-post reflexive control design. Knowledge about the elements to include in a disaster communication plan increased as did knowledge about items to include in a disaster kit. Notably, self-rated level of stress associated with evacuation to a shelter remained unchanged. Most importantly, the perceived level of disaster preparedness increased, suggesting that those who participated in the Geriatric Passport Project felt more prepared to respond to a disaster as a result of having attended the disaster education program.</p><p> The Geriatric Passport Project appears to have beneficial effects and the success of the pilot project supports exploring the feasibility of expanding the program to a wider geographic region and conducting a more rigorous evaluation of program effectiveness, efficacy, and efficiency.</p>

Full text

Abstract:

Bakgrund: Antalet katastrofer i världen och Sverige ökar och därmed ökar även behovet av katastrofmedicinsk beredskap. Akutmottagningen utgör ofta den första kontakten med sjukvården och därför har akutsjuksköterskorna en mycket central roll vid en allvarlig händelse. Sjuksköterskor är den största arbetsstyrkan vid en katastrof och sjukvården är helt beroende av deras kompetens. Forskning visar att bristfällig omvårdnad, triagering eller oförmåga till att finna den kritiskt dåliga patienten i ett tidigt skede, ökar mortaliteten. Dock visar forskningen även att sjuksköterskor inte känner sig tillräckligt förberedda. Sjuksköterskor som har arbetat i samband med allvarliga händelser beskriver starka och motstridiga känslor. Utbildning, övning och tidigare erfarenheter inom katastrofmedicin har uppgetts förbättra sjuksköterskornas beredskap. Trots vetskapen om sjuksköterskornas nyckelroll är forskningen angående sjuksköterskors uppfattningar om den katastrofmedicinska beredskapen begränsad. Fler studier inom området vore av värde med tanke på att behovet av katastrofmedicinsk beredskap ökar. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva sjuksköterskors uppfattningar om den katastrofmedicinska beredskapen på akutmottagningar i Storstockholm. Metod: Studien utfördes med en kvalitativ metod och en induktiv ansats. Tio semistrukturerade intervjuer med sjuksköterskor från fyra akutmottagningar inom Storstockholm utfördes. Intervjuerna analyserades med hjälp av innehållsanalys. Resultat: Fyra teman kunde urskiljas: ”oro för organisationens begränsningar”, ”behov av struktur”, ”erfarenhet och övning skapar trygghet i nya situationer” samt ”motstridiga känslor och tankar om copingstrategier”. Inom det första temat beskrev deltagarna en stark oro för att akutsjukvården redan är högt belastad och att detta skulle äventyra patientsäkerheten ännu mer vid en allvarlig händelse. I ”behov av struktur” beskrev sjuksköterskorna att de uppfattade sin roll som central vid allvarliga händelser och att de hade behov av en tydlig struktur. Tema nummer tre, ”erfarenhet och övning”, förklarade sjuksköterskornas önskan om mer övning och att erfarenhet gynnar dem i deras arbete. Motstridiga känslor såsom skräck blandad med nyfikenhet inför arbete vid en allvarlig händelse belystes i tema fyra, liksom arbetsgruppens viktiga, stöttande funktion. Slutsats: Den katastrofmedicinska beredskapen behöver förankras bättre i akutsjukvårdens hektiska vardag. Sjuksköterskornas uppfattning var att en allvarlig händelse skulle kunna orsaka ett kaos som fordrar starka copingstrategier. Behov av ett nytt, strukturerat arbetssätt uppdagades. Realistiska övningar skulle kunna kompensera för bristen på erfarenhet från allvarliga händelser. Ett strukturerat arbetssätt och en stark arbetsgrupp är måsten för att kunna upprätthålla patientsäkerheten vid en allvarlig händelse.<br>Background: As the number of disasters increases in the world the need for an adequate disaster preparedness develops. Registered nurses in emergency departments have a significant role since they often constitute the first encounter with the healthcare after a disaster. Healthcare is dependent on the nurses' ability to effectively respond to an event of disaster. Studies have shown that a deficient triage, nursing and inability to identify a critically ill patient increase patient mortality. However, previous research reveal that nurses don’t feel properly prepared. Registered nurses with experience from disaster response describe strong and conflicting emotions. Experience, education and disaster-related training have been shown to improve registered nurses’ self-reported disaster preparedness. Despite the fact that there is knowledge about registered nurses’ key role in disaster response, research is limited regarding their perceptions of disaster preparedness. Since the need for disaster preparedness increases, more studies within the area would be worthwhile. Aim: The aim was to describe registered nurses’ perceptions of disaster preparedness in emergency departments. Methods: A qualitative interview study was carried out and ten interviews with registered nurses from four emergency departments were performed. During the interviews a semi structured method was used. The interviews were analyzed through content analysis. Results: Four themes emerged: “concern for organizational insufficiency”, “need for structure”, “experience and training create a feeling of security in new situations” and “conflicting emotions and thoughts about coping strategies”. Within the first theme the participants described a strong concern for the already existing high pressure in emergency care and that this could jeopardize patient safety in an event of a disaster. The second theme illustrates the registered nurse’s perception of having a central role and their need for a clear structure while working in an event of disaster. “Experience and training”, theme three, is about the registered nurses’ wish for more disaster-related training and the importance of experience in their work. The thought of disaster response generated conflicting emotions, such as fear mixed with curiosity, was highlighted in theme four, as well as the importance of a supportive work group. Conclusion: The disaster preparedness needs to be better anchored in reality’s crowded care situation within the emergency care. Registered nurses believed a disaster would result in a chaotic work environment with the need for coping strategies. A new and structured way of working was seen as necessary. Realistic disaster-related training might compensate for the lack of experience. To be able to withhold patient safety during a disaster structure and stability within the workforce is essential.
