Children have unique physical, emotional, and developmental needs making them particularly vulnerable during disasters. Most existing disaster preparedness courses lack a pediatric perspective. This article describes a pediatric disaster preparedness program presented to pediatric nurses in an urban, Level 1 trauma center. Survey results from the participants prior to the program revealed a lack of awareness of pediatric issues. Although the program resulted in an immediate improvement in awareness, retention fell back to precourse levels 2 years later. We conclude that pediatric disaster preparedness training should be integrated into hospital nursing curriculum on a regular basis.
儿童有独特的身体、情感和发育需求，这使得他们在灾难期间特别脆弱。大多数现有的灾难准备课程缺乏儿科视角。本文描述了一个在城市一级创伤中心向儿科护士提供的儿科灾难准备项目。项目开展前参与者的调查结果显示，他们对儿科问题缺乏认识。尽管该项目使认识水平立即得到提高，但两年后留存率又回到了课程前的水平。我们得出结论，儿科灾难准备培训应定期纳入医院护理课程。
