This study aimed to determine nurses' views of their competence in disaster nursing management.
It is an important responsibility of nurses to have the necessary knowledge and skills for the management of disasters and to be prepared for disasters. For this responsibility to be effectively demonstrated, it is important to determine the disaster management competencies of the nurses.
A descriptive, cross-sectional, and comparative research design was used in this study. The study population consisted of all nurses in Turkey (N = 227 292). According to the power analysis, the goal was to recruit 599 nurses working between March and April 2021 using a simple random sampling method. However, 530 nurses answered the questionnaire. The response rate is 88.5%. Data were collected online using a sociodemographic characteristics questionnaire and the Competencies for Disaster Nursing Management Questionnaire. The data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences at a significance level of 0.05.
There was a positive correlation between nurses' duties and responsibilities in disaster management, barriers to developing basic competencies, and nurses' basic competencies in disaster management (p < 0.001). Nurses have inadequate competencies in disaster management for various reasons. The study was reported with the STROBE checklist.
Although nurses think they have core competencies, they are not prepared for disasters for various reasons.
Hospitals should provide nurses with more duties and responsibilities regarding disaster management. Administrators should involve nurses in plans, decisions, and practices regarding disaster management. Decision-makers should develop policies and training programs to remove the barriers preventing nurses from acquiring competencies.
本研究旨在确定护士对灾难护理管理能力的看法。
护士有必要具备灾难管理所需的知识和技能，并为应对灾难做好准备，这是他们的重要职责。为了有效地履行这一职责，确定护士的灾难管理能力非常重要。
本研究采用描述性、横断面和比较研究设计。研究人群包括土耳其的所有护士（N=227292）。根据功效分析，目标是在 2021 年 3 月至 4 月期间使用简单随机抽样方法招募 599 名在工作的护士。然而，有 530 名护士回答了问卷。应答率为 88.5%。使用社会人口统计学特征问卷和灾难护理管理能力问卷在线收集数据。使用社会科学统计软件在 0.05 的显著性水平下分析数据。
在灾难管理中的职责和责任、发展基本能力的障碍以及护士的灾难管理基本能力之间存在正相关（p<0.001）。由于各种原因，护士在灾难管理方面的能力不足。本研究按照 STROBE 清单进行了报告。
尽管护士认为自己具有核心能力，但由于各种原因，他们对灾难没有做好准备。
医院应为护士提供更多与灾难管理相关的职责和责任。管理人员应让护士参与与灾难管理相关的计划、决策和实践。决策者应制定政策和培训计划，消除阻碍护士获得能力的障碍。
