It is of critical importance to determine the factors that contribute to nurses' disaster preparedness. This study aimed to examine nurses' perceptions of disaster preparedness and the factors affecting it.
This descriptive study was conducted with 464 nurses working in the East Marmara region of Türkiye. The data were collected online using the "Personal Information Form," "The Scale of Perception of Disaster Preparedness on Nurses," and the "Adult Motivation Scale." Linear regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors.
It was found that nurses possessed a high level of perceived disaster preparedness, influenced by individual disaster preparedness, status of receiving disaster-related training, willingness to respond in the case of a disaster, disaster plan awareness, experience with caring for disaster victims, extrinsic motivation, and general motivation.
The results of the study offer evidence that can be implemented by managers and educators to better prepare nurses for disasters. Hospital administrators and policy makers should consider the factors affecting nurses' perception of disaster preparedness to develop solutions for such disasters.
确定影响护士备灾能力的因素至关重要。本研究旨在调查护士对备灾的认知以及影响备灾的因素。
本描述性研究对象为土耳其东马尔马拉地区的 464 名护士。使用“个人信息表”、“护士备灾感知量表”和“成人动机量表”在线收集数据。采用线性回归分析对影响因素进行分析。
研究发现，护士的备灾感知水平较高，受个体备灾能力、接受灾害相关培训的状况、灾害时的响应意愿、灾害预案意识、灾害伤员护理经验、外在动机和一般动机的影响。
研究结果为管理者和教育者提供了证据，以便更好地为护士进行灾害备灾。医院管理者和政策制定者应考虑影响护士对备灾认知的因素，以制定针对此类灾害的解决方案。
