Tiivistelmä
Disasters are a prevalent concern for global health. Nursing skills relating to disaster management and disaster response are paramount and extensive according to the international community.
This study was conducted to analyze global data relating to the disaster preparedness of registered nurses by reviewing existing research concerning the recognized training needs required of registered nurses. The aim of this literature review is to assess literature relating to disaster nursing training needs. The purpose of this literature review is to report information which can be used for further disaster nursing research and development.
This study utilized Cinahl, PubMed and Medline for data collection purposes. Collected data was analyzed as a literature review, resulting in the inclusion of twelve research studies which fulfilled the objective criteria.
Coding of the found literature led to the development of three main concepts or categories consisting of at least one subcategory: professional development (formal training and clinical competence), psychosocial support (emotion/stress management) and interdisciplinary cooperation (management competency).
The key findings of this literature review were determined via nurses’ responses and are most related to education, psychosocial support and management of disaster response. A need for further studies and an implementation of further training and education is suggested as being useful.
