Because of their diverse education, experience, and practice settings, nurses are uniquely qualified to be first receivers, care givers, and leaders in any large-scale public health emergency. Many nurses, however, continue to feel inadequately prepared to function effectively in these types of situations. Great strides have been made since 2001, but much work remains to be accomplished. This article focuses on newer approaches used to teach nurses the principles of disaster preparedness. It also addresses the need to incorporate mass casualty care and disaster management skills into undergraduate curricula, continuing nurse education, and advanced degree programs for nurses in the United States.
由于护士们接受过多样化的教育、拥有丰富的经验且工作环境各不相同,他们在应对任何大规模公共卫生突发事件时,都具备独特的资质成为第一接收者、护理人员和领导者。然而,许多护士仍然觉得自己没有充分准备好,无法在这类情况下有效地发挥作用。自2001年以来已经取得了很大进展,但仍有许多工作有待完成。本文重点介绍用于教导护士灾难准备原则的新方法。它还探讨了将大规模伤亡护理和灾难管理技能纳入美国本科课程、护士继续教育以及高级学位项目的必要性。
