Dare to be prepared for a disaster nursing - An interview study with nursing students in Indonesia
Authors
Abstract:
Background: Indonesia is home to approximately 400 active volcanoes located on three different tectonic plates. Thus, the country frequently experiences natural disasters, and health care in emergencies and disasters is important. Therefore, the aim of this study was to describe nursing students’ experiences of nursing education in disaster nursingat one university in Indonesia. Materials andMethods: The study used a qualitative content analysis with an inductive approach based on semistructured interviews with eight nursing students from a university in Indonesia. Results:One category, namely, “Being prepared for a natural disaster”, and three subcategories, namely, “Feeling prepared in nursing”, “Managing limitations in nursingeducation” and “Managing uncertainty in nursing”, were identified. Nursing students consider that theory in disaster nursing was valuable; however, they lack reality-based education to feel prepared to perform the required tasks as forthcoming nurses. Conclusion: Increased and repeated practical training using case studies in nursing education is important for improving nursing students’ preparedness in disaster nursing.
