This study evaluates the level of disaster preparedness among first-line nurse managers.
The presented study utilizes Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory of Self-Efficacy as a theoretical framework as it emphasizes that individuals' confidence in their abilities, shaped by experience, training, and education, plays a significant role in their performance during disaster management and increased by real-world experience as well as education. A descriptive cross-sectional survey design was conducted by using a validated questionnaire based on the International Council of Nurses framework. Data were collected using a convivence sample of 106 first-line nurse managers across hospitals in Jordan between March and May 2023. Descriptive and inferential statistics were utilized.
The results highlighted a moderate level of disaster preparedness (M = 3.52, SD = 0.84), with the highest scores in assessment (M = 3.65, SD = 0.92) and intervention (M = 3.58, SD = 0.98). Significant differences in preparedness were observed based on hospital type, leadership role, disaster training type, and education level. Nurse managers with prior disaster training, higher education, and leadership roles indicated a higher level of preparedness.
This study highlights the need for increased disaster training programs tailored to nurse managers, integrating theoretical knowledge with hands-on experience. Strengthening disaster preparedness in nursing education and hospital policies is essential to ensure effective disaster response and improve patient safety. Findings can guide future strategies for disaster preparedness training and policy development in Jordanian health care settings.
本研究评估一线护士管理者的灾难准备水平。
本研究采用班杜拉的自我效能社会认知理论作为理论框架，因为该理论强调，个体对自身能力的信心受经验、培训和教育影响，在灾难管理过程中的表现中起着重要作用，且会因实际经验和教育而增强。采用基于国际护士理事会框架的经过验证的问卷进行描述性横断面调查设计。2023年3月至5月期间，通过便利抽样收集了约旦各医院106名一线护士管理者的数据。运用了描述性和推断性统计方法。
结果显示灾难准备水平中等（M = 3.52，SD = 0.84），其中评估方面得分最高（M = 3.65，SD = 0.92），干预方面得分其次（M = 3.58，SD = 0.98）。根据医院类型、领导角色、灾难培训类型和教育水平观察到准备情况存在显著差异。有过灾难培训、受过高等教育且担任领导角色的护士管理者显示出更高的准备水平。
本研究强调需要为护士管理者增加量身定制的灾难培训项目，将理论知识与实践经验相结合。加强护理教育和医院政策中的灾难准备对于确保有效的灾难应对和提高患者安全至关重要。研究结果可为约旦医疗环境中未来的灾难准备培训和政策制定策略提供指导。
