Natural and man-made disasters have increased dramatically over time, requiring healthcare systems to develop and sustain emergency preparedness plans. Nurse leaders and frontline clinical nurses are often the first and long-term responders during these traumatic events. Emergency preparedness requires nurses exceed expectations beyond the daily level of performance in caring for patients in the presence of obstacles. A disaster creates additional burdens on nurses psychosocially due to work and home demands. Despite this adversity, nurses are able to work under harsh conditions and make critical clinical decisions. This commitment is often described as being resilient. A deeper reason why nurses perform during disasters is that they possess the personality trait known as grit. Grit motivates them to endure challenges and be successful over time. The critical attributes of grit are passion and perseverance. Cultivating grit among nurse leaders and clinical nurses is essential to sustaining interest in emergency preparedness and ensuring the needs of patients and caregivers are met when a disaster occurs.
随着时间的推移，自然灾害和人为灾害急剧增加，这就要求医疗系统制定并维持应急准备计划。在这些创伤性事件中，护士领导者和一线临床护士往往是首批响应者，并且会长期参与应对工作。应急准备要求护士在面对障碍时，其表现要超越日常护理患者时的水平，达到更高的期望。灾难会给护士带来额外的心理负担，因为工作和家庭方面都有需求。尽管面临这种逆境，护士们仍能在恶劣条件下工作并做出关键的临床决策。这种奉献精神通常被描述为具有韧性。护士在灾难期间能够坚守岗位的一个更深层次原因是，他们具备一种被称为毅力的人格特质。毅力激励着他们经受住挑战，并随着时间的推移取得成功。毅力的关键属性是热情和坚持不懈。在护士领导者和临床护士中培养毅力，对于维持他们对应急准备工作的兴趣，以及确保灾难发生时患者和护理人员的需求得到满足至关重要。
