Nurses are the largest group of healthcare providers and are often the first line responders to a disaster event. Nurses' disaster competence, motivation for disaster engagement, and factors that impact their motivation to respond to disaster events need to be understood. The purposes of the study were to determine the predictive relationships between Taiwanese nurses' disaster competence, anticipatory disaster stress, and motivation for disaster engagement. A cross-sectional design was used to analyze data collected between August 2017 and December 2017 from eight hospitals in southern Taiwan. Ninety participants who met the recruitment criteria completed and returned questionnaires with an 88.24% response rate. Data collection involved administering the Disaster Nursing Competence Questionnaire, Anticipatory Disaster Stress Questionnaire, and the Motivation of Disaster Engagement Questionnaire. The results indicated that anticipatory disaster stress was positively correlated with disaster competence and motivation for disaster engagement. Disaster competence and willingness to join a hospital disaster rescue predicts an individuals' motivation for disaster engagement. The results of the study add to the understanding of factors that correlate with nurses' motivation to participate in disaster events. By understanding these factors, the government and healthcare administrators can design disaster education plans and other strategies to improve Taiwanese nurses' motivation to engage in disaster events.
护士是医疗服务提供者中的最大群体，并且常常是灾难事件的首批应急响应者。护士的灾难应对能力、参与灾难救援的动机以及影响其对灾难事件响应动机的因素需要得到了解。本研究的目的是确定台湾护士的灾难应对能力、预期灾难压力与参与灾难救援的动机之间的预测关系。采用横断面设计来分析2017年8月至2017年12月期间从台湾南部八家医院收集的数据。90名符合招募标准的参与者完成并返还了问卷，回复率为88.24%。数据收集包括发放《灾难护理能力问卷》《预期灾难压力问卷》和《参与灾难救援动机问卷》。结果表明，预期灾难压力与灾难应对能力和参与灾难救援的动机呈正相关。灾难应对能力和加入医院灾难救援的意愿可预测个体参与灾难救援的动机。该研究结果有助于增进对与护士参与灾难事件动机相关因素的理解。通过了解这些因素，政府和医疗管理者可以制定灾难教育计划及其他策略，以提高台湾护士参与灾难事件的动机。
