Emergency nurses play a pivotal role in disaster relief during the response to, and recovery of both in-hospital and out-of-hospital disasters. Postgraduate education is important in preparing and enhancing emergency nurses' preparation for disaster nursing practice. The disaster nursing content of Australian tertiary postgraduate emergency nursing courses has not been compared across courses and the level of agreement about suitable content is not known.
To explore and describe the disaster content in Australian tertiary postgraduate emergency nursing courses.
A retrospective, exploratory and descriptive study of the disaster content of Australian tertiary postgraduate emergency nursing courses conducted in 2009. Course convenors from 12 universities were invited to participate in a single structured telephone survey. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics.
Ten of the twelve course convenors from Australian tertiary postgraduate emergency nursing courses participated in this study. The content related to disasters was varied, both in terms of the topics covered and duration of disaster content. Seven of these courses included some content relating to disaster health, including types of disasters, hospital response, nurses' roles in disasters and triage. The management of the dead and dying, and practical application of disaster response skills featured in only one course. Three courses had learning objectives specific to disasters.
The majority of courses had some disaster content but there were considerable differences in the content chosen for inclusion across courses. The incorporation of core competencies such as those from the International Council of Nurses and the World Health Organisation, may enhance content consistency in curriculum. Additionally, this content could be embedded within a proposed national education framework for disaster health.
在应对医院内和医院外灾难以及灾难恢复过程中，急诊护士在救灾工作中发挥着关键作用。研究生教育对于培养和加强急诊护士应对灾难护理实践的能力非常重要。澳大利亚高等院校研究生急诊护理课程中的灾难护理内容尚未在各课程之间进行比较，且对于合适内容的共识程度也不清楚。
探索和描述澳大利亚高等院校研究生急诊护理课程中的灾难护理内容。
对2009年澳大利亚高等院校研究生急诊护理课程的灾难护理内容进行回顾性、探索性和描述性研究。邀请了12所大学的课程召集人参加一次结构化电话调查。使用描述性统计方法对数据进行分析。
澳大利亚高等院校研究生急诊护理课程的12位课程召集人中，有10位参加了本研究。与灾难相关的内容在涵盖的主题和灾难内容的时长方面都各不相同。其中7门课程包含一些与灾难健康相关的内容，包括灾难类型、医院应对措施、护士在灾难中的角色和分诊。只有一门课程涉及死亡和濒死患者的管理以及灾难应对技能的实际应用。有3门课程有针对灾难的学习目标。
大多数课程都有一些灾难护理内容，但各课程所选纳入内容存在很大差异。纳入国际护士理事会和世界卫生组织等机构的核心能力，可能会提高课程内容的一致性。此外，这些内容可以纳入拟议的国家灾难健康教育框架中。
