The Impact of ICN Disaster Nursing Core Competency Training on Disaster Preparedness and Psychological Resilience

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the ICN disaster nursing basic competency training affects nurses' disaster preparedness and psychological resilience. The main question to be answered by the study is:

1- Does the ICN disaster nursing basic competency training have an effect on nurses' disaster preparedness and psychological resilience compared to other disaster training programs? The researchers will provide one group of nurses with ICN disaster nursing basic competency training and another group with their regular disaster training program. Both groups will complete a questionnaire measuring disaster preparedness and psychological resilience once before the training begins and twice at specified intervals after the training is completed.

Participants:

1. Will complete the surveys administered. 2. Both groups will participate in the training programs organized for them.

Other

ICN disaster nursing core competency training differs from the standard disaster training provided to nurses working in hospitals. It aims to equip nurses with different skills in this area.

Primary outcomes

The number of participants in the experimental group who participated in the training and whose scores on the Nurses' Disaster Management Competency Assessment Scale increased.

Time frame: Immediately after training, and at 4 and 12 weeks

Nurses' Competency Assessment Scale for Disaster Management: The total scale and its sub-dimensions are evaluated based on mean scores. A mean score approaching 1 indicates that nurses are inadequate in disaster management, while a score approaching 5 indicates that nurses are competent in disaster management.
The number of participants in the experimental group who attended the training and whose Short-Term Endurance Scale scores increased.

Time frame: Immediately after training, and at 4 and 12 weeks

The Brief Resilience Scale is a 5-point Likert-type measurement tool. "I completely disagree" is scored as 1, and "I completely agree" is scored as 5. A high score on the scale indicates a high level of psychological resilience.
