[Study on the Issues Faced by Home-Visit Nursing Stations for Repletion and Reinforcement of Disasters Preparedness]
1Dept. of Nursing, Faculty of Health Science, Kobe Tokiwa University.
Background:
Amid concerns about the occurrence of large-scale disasters, preparation for such disasters is an emergency issue.
Purpose:
In this study, we clarified new burdens in repletion and reinforcement of disaster preparedness in home-visit nursing stations that support home care patients and their families.
Methods:
A questionnaire survey was conducted in homevisit nursing stations of areas where large-scale disasters are predicted to occur. Based on the survey, the burdens in preparation were analyzed.
Results:
Based on the obtained data, three categories were formed:"a burden related to presupposition of the preparation","a burden related to concretization of the preparation", and "a burden related to practice of the preparation".
Discussion:
For an appropriate reduction in the burdens, a necessity for further studies was indicated; these included studies on the complete picture of suitable disaster preparedness for home care, studies on the development of models that enable practical, effective, and efficient preparation, and studies on positioning of the system.

Reinforcement
Positive reinforcement occurs when a behavior is followed by the presentation of a rewarding stimulus, increasing the frequency of that behavior. For example:
