Objective:
This systematic scoping review aims to clarify and map the range of natural disaster preparedness and response training for public health personnel around the world.
Introduction:
Various preparedness and response training courses, exercises, and drills for public health professionals have been developed for natural disasters. Most of these focus on developing competency. However, there is no overview of the frameworks, methods, evaluation, and outcomes of these disaster preparedness and response training courses, exercises, and drills.
Inclusion Criteria:
This review will consider all studies that focus on the framework, evaluation, and outcome of training in natural disaster preparedness for public health personnel.
Methods:
The databases and sources to be searched will include MEDLINE (PubMed), CINAHL with Full Text Plus, Academic Search Premier, APA PsycINFO, and Ichushi-Web. Searches for gray literature will be conducted using websites that discuss, introduce, or provide competence-based disaster preparedness and response training. These websites will mainly be for public organizations or universities with a focus on public health. The review will consider studies published in both English and Japanese. Retrieval of full-text studies and data extraction will be performed independently by two reviewers. The findings will be summarized in tabular form and accompanied by narrative text.
