Training nursing students in hemorrhage control during simulated mass casualty incidents (IMCI) boosts confidence and safety. This prepares them to manage bleeding effectively and reduces fear in critical situations.
Area of Science:
- Emergency Medicine
- Trauma Care
- Nursing Education
Background:
- Intentional mass casualty incidents (IMCI) are increasing globally.
- Hemorrhage control is a critical life-saving skill in mass casualty events.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess nursing students' perceptions of a simulated IMCI.
- To evaluate the impact of active threat and bleeding control training on student preparedness.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative phenomenological study involving 74 nursing students.
- Seven focus groups (8-12 participants each) were conducted post-simulation.
Main Results:
- Students reported fear and vulnerability regarding IMCI.
- Training enhanced self-protection, safety, and knowledge of life-saving techniques like hemorrhage control.
- Simulated IMCI deemed valuable for citizen preparedness and skill training.
Conclusions:
- Hemorrhage control training in simulated IMCI settings improves self-efficacy and reduces fear.
- Interventions can serve as primary prevention for IMCI and train future instructors.
