Using Experiential Learning to Affect Perceived Knowledge of Disaster Preparedness Among Hospital-Based Personnel
Abstract:
Perceived knowledge deficits in disaster preparedness are widespread among hospital-based nurses and healthcare professionals. Experiential learning programs provide enhanced disaster preparedness familiarity among hospital-based healthcare staff. A disaster preparedness education class was offered at a midwestern suburban hospital to promote increased knowledge perception. The Emergency Preparedness Information Questionnaire was administered to assess disaster preparedness familiarity. The posttest scores after the experiential learning yielded statistically significant results ( t = 46.90, p < .001) for increased disaster preparedness familiarity.
