This study aimed to assess the perceived level of disaster preparedness and response among nursing students in Oman, as the country is disaster prone and experiences disasters every three to five years.
A descriptive cross-sectional pilot study was conducted from May to June 2019 using a stratified cluster sampling method among nursing students recruited from two government nursing colleges in Muscat, Oman. The Disaster Preparedness Evaluation Tool and Disaster Response Self-Efficacy Scale were used to assess the knowledge, skill, disaster management and self-efficacy in handling disasters.
A total of 51 students participated in this study. Most students (78.4%) had experienced a disaster while at home. Overall, the students had moderate levels of knowledge (3.17 ± 1.49), skill (3.12 ± 1.52), post-disaster management (3.22 ± 1.44) and self efficacy in responding to disaster (2.93 ± 1.16).
Nursing students in Oman have experienced disasters and are willing to respond when called upon though they possess moderate knowledge and confidence in handling disasters.
本研究旨在评估阿曼护理学生对灾害准备和应对的感知水平,因为该国易受灾,每三到五年就会发生一次灾害。
2019 年 5 月至 6 月期间,采用分层聚类抽样方法,对来自阿曼马斯喀特两所政府护理学院的护理学生进行了描述性横断面试点研究。使用灾害准备评估工具和灾害应对自我效能量表评估知识、技能、灾害管理和应对灾害的自我效能。
共有 51 名学生参加了这项研究。大多数学生(78.4%)在家中经历过灾害。总体而言,学生的知识(3.17 ± 1.49)、技能(3.12 ± 1.52)、灾后管理(3.22 ± 1.44)和应对灾害的自我效能(2.93 ± 1.16)处于中等水平。
阿曼的护理学生经历过灾害,并且愿意在需要时做出响应,尽管他们在处理灾害方面拥有中等水平的知识和信心。
