Brief Summary

This study was planned to evaluate the effect of two different learning methods on the perception of disaster preparedness and competences related to disaster management in nursing students.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Introductory information form

  The form, which was created by the researchers within the scope of the literature, includes 12 questions including socio-demographic characteristics, disaster experience, experience, and disaster-related information sources.

  All groups were administered a pre-test before the intervention, a post-test at the end of the 5-week intervention, a 1-month follow-up, a 3-month follow-up and a 6-month follow-up.

• Nurses' Perception of Disaster Preparedness Scale

  This scale was developed by Feride Özcan in 2013 to measure how prepared nurses feel themselves against disasters. The scale consists of 20 items and 3 sub-dimensions as Preparation Phase (Questions 1-6), Intervention Phase (Questions 7-15), Post-Disaster Phase (Questions 16-20). The items of the scale are scored in five-point Likert type (1-Strongly disagree, 2-Disagree, 3-Somewhat agree, 4-Agree, 5-Strongly agree). As the score obtained from the scale increases, the perception of disaster preparedness also increases.

  Pre-test before intervention, post-test at the end of 5-week intervention, 1-month follow-up, 3-month follow-up and 6-month follow-up stages were applied to all groups.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Nurses' Competence Assessment Scale for Disaster Management

  Pre-test before intervention, post-test at the end of 5-week intervention, 1-month follow-up, 3-month follow-up and 6-month follow-up stages were applied to all groups.

Study Arms (3)

Intervention Group 1

EXPERIMENTAL

In this study, 'Disaster Nursing' course is an elective course integrated into the nursing curriculum. Disaster nursing course content to be applied to the Model based training group; the topics related to pre-disaster, disaster, post-disaster and recovery phases were prepared in line with International Nurses Association (ICN) Basic Competence Areas in Disaster Nursing, General Directorate of Emergency Health Services First Aid Training Guide and Jenning's Disaster Management Model in Nursing. One day a week for 5 weeks, the theoretical part 100 minutes (transferred by the academic staff responsible for the course), laboratory 50 minutes (transferred by theNational Medical Rescue Team personnel). There are 20 students in this group. Data were collected through data collection tools at pre-intervention, 5-week post-intervention, 1st month follow-up, 3rd month follow-up and 6th month follow-up stages.

Other: Model Based Training

Intervention Group 2

EXPERIMENTAL

In this study, peer and self-learning group consisted of four different seminar groups of five students randomised. The students were informed about creating a seminar programme on disaster nursing and management and making presentations until the dates determined at the beginning of the semester. It was explained that they would use peer and self-learning methods in seminar preparation and that the researchers would not intervene in the techniques they would create. Four different seminar groups were formed. There are 5 students in each group. Each group prepares a seminar on disaster nursing and management by using peer and self-learning methods. There are 20 students in this group. For 4 weeks, the groups made seminar presentations for 150 minutes one day a week. All seminar groups came together in the last week and formed a group discussion on disaster nursing research and development activities.

Other: Peer and Self-Learning Group

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

It consists of students who are not included in the intervention groups. The control group continues the education process in the routine education programme. This group consists of 24 students.
