    Nurses show good awareness of disaster nursing but have significant gaps in practical abilities. Their awareness levels are consistent across different nursing cadres, indicating a need for improved disaster preparedness training for all nurses.

    Area of Science:

    • Disaster Nursing
    • Healthcare Preparedness
    • Nursing Education

    Background:

    • Increasing frequency of natural and man-made disasters globally and in India.
    • Essential need for nurses to be prepared for disaster response.
    • Gap in understanding nurses' current disaster nursing knowledge and skills.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess nurses' awareness of disaster nursing principles.
    • To evaluate nurses' perceived abilities in disaster situations.
    • To determine if awareness and abilities vary by nursing cadre.

    Main Methods:

    • Exploratory survey design.
    • Conducted in Aurangabad (MS) with 60 nurses from various cadres.
    • Utilized a semi-structured questionnaire with 30 questions (15 on awareness, 15 on abilities).

  • Simple random sampling method employed.
  • ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) used to test for significant differences between cadres.

    • Main Results:

    • Nurses demonstrated good overall awareness of disaster nursing.
    • Majority of nurses exhibited gaps in their disaster nursing awareness.
    • Overall perceived ability of nurses across all cadres was unsatisfactory.
    • Awareness of disaster nursing was found to be independent of nursing cadre (p > 0.05).
    • No significant difference in perceived abilities among teachers, staff nurses, and student nurses.
    • Ability scores were substantially lower than awareness scores.

    Conclusions:

    • While nurses possess a foundational awareness of disaster nursing, significant knowledge gaps persist.
    • Current perceived abilities of nurses in disaster situations are inadequate, requiring targeted interventions.
    • Disaster nursing education and training should be enhanced across all nursing cadres to improve practical response capabilities.
    • Future research should focus on developing and evaluating effective disaster nursing training programs.
