Summary
Omani nursing students have moderate disaster preparedness and response skills. Despite experiencing disasters, their knowledge and confidence require enhancement for effective disaster management.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Disaster Management
- Public Health
Background:
- Oman is prone to natural disasters, necessitating robust preparedness.
- Assessing nursing students' disaster response is crucial for public health resilience.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate disaster preparedness and response among Omani nursing students.
- To identify knowledge, skill, and self-efficacy levels in disaster scenarios.
Main Methods:
- A descriptive cross-sectional pilot study was conducted in Muscat, Oman.
- Stratified cluster sampling included nursing students from two government colleges.
- Validated tools assessed knowledge, skills, disaster management, and self-efficacy.
Main Results:
- 78.4% of 51 participating students had prior disaster experience.
- Moderate levels of knowledge (3.17), skill (3.12), post-disaster management (3.22), and self-efficacy (2.93) were reported.
- Students demonstrated willingness to respond to disasters.
Conclusions:
- Omani nursing students possess moderate disaster preparedness and response capabilities.
- Further training is recommended to enhance their confidence and skills in disaster management.
- Preparedness of future healthcare professionals is vital for national disaster response.

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

1.1K
The Problem-Oriented Medical Record (POMR) revolutionized medical record-keeping by introducing a systematic approach focusing on the patient's problems rather than merely listing symptoms. Dr. Lawrence Weed's introduction of this method in the 1960s marked a significant advancement in medical documentation. The POMR framework consists of four key components: the database, problem list, plan of care, and progress notes.

Human fear responses to certain stimuli, such as darkness, heights, deep water, and blood, can often arise despite the absence of direct negative experiences. This phenomenon is rooted in evolutionary psychology, which posits that humans have developed a predisposition to fear stimuli that historically posed significant survival threats. This predisposition, known as preparedness, suggests that early humans who developed a fear of potentially dangerous entities, such as venomous snakes and...

Respiratory assessment is a cornerstone of nursing assessments, crucial for the early detection of patient deterioration. This evaluation transcends routine procedures, representing a critical skill nurses must master to ensure optimal patient care.
Objectives and Importance:
The primary goal of respiratory assessment is to evaluate patients at early risk of clinical deterioration. Since respiratory distress often precedes other signs of declining health, breathing patterns and sounds become a...

01:15Nursing Evaluation
3.8K
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.
