This study aimed to determine the disaster preparedness perceptions and psychological first-aid competencies of psychiatric nurses.
Nurses must recognize the risks before a disaster occurs and have an action plan for providing effective physical and psychological care to patients and other affected individuals during and after the disaster. It is especially important for psychiatric nurses caring for a high-risk group, such as psychiatric patients, to be prepared for disasters and be able to support patients by recognizing the psychological reactions that may occur after a disaster and managing their care accordingly.
For this cross-sectional and correlational study, data on 122 nurses were collected using a personal information form, the preparedness perception scale of disaster in nurses, and the psychological first-aid application self-efficacy scale.
The mean score for the participants' perception of overall disaster preparedness was 76.70 ± 8.30, the mean score for the preparation stage was 27.02 ± 2.82, the mean score for the intervention stage was 30.40 ± 5.15, the mean score for the post-disaster stage was 19.27 ± 2.88, and the mean score for psychological first-aid application self-efficacy was 140.28 ± 19.17.
The findings showed that psychiatric nurses were above the medium level in terms of disaster preparedness perceptions and psychological first-aid application self-efficacy.
It is important for nurses caring for high-risk groups, such as psychiatric patients, to be aware of disaster preparedness, to recognize psychological reactions that may be observed after a disaster, and to be aware of psychological first-aid practices that can be used to intervene in a disaster.
本研究旨在确定精神科护士对灾难准备的认知以及心理急救能力。
护士必须在灾难发生前识别风险，并制定行动计划，以便在灾难期间及之后为患者和其他受影响个体提供有效的身体和心理护理。对于护理诸如精神科患者这类高危群体的精神科护士而言，为灾难做好准备并能够通过识别灾难后可能出现的心理反应并相应地管理护理工作来支持患者尤为重要。
对于这项横断面相关性研究，使用个人信息表、护士灾难准备认知量表和心理急救应用自我效能量表收集了122名护士的数据。
参与者对总体灾难准备的认知平均得分为76.70 ± 8.30，准备阶段平均得分为27.02 ± 2.82，干预阶段平均得分为30.40 ± 5.15，灾后阶段平均得分为19.27 ± 2.88，心理急救应用自我效能平均得分为140.28 ± 19.17。
研究结果表明，精神科护士在灾难准备认知和心理急救应用自我效能方面处于中等水平以上。
对于护理诸如精神科患者这类高危群体的护士而言，了解灾难准备、识别灾难后可能观察到的心理反应以及了解可用于在灾难中进行干预的心理急救措施非常重要。
