Objective:
To evaluate the effectiveness of the Hospital Disaster Management (HDM) Skill Training Program (STP), focusing on the learning and behavior of nurse educators.
Methods:
The study design was a randomized control trial with a pre-test and post-test control group with blinding of the outcome assessor. The sample includes nurse educators in selected collegiate nursing institutions, with 30 participants in the experimental and control groups. The training was delivered in a hybrid mode, and participants were randomly assigned to groups. The training was validated using the Delphi technique. Learning was assessed using a questionnaire measuring the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of the experimental and control groups.
Results:
The STP on HDM significantly improved the experimental group's knowledge (t value = 4.581, P = 0.001), Skill (t value = 3.136, P = 0.003), Attitude (t value = 2.093, P = 0.003), and Behavior (t value = 9.34, P = 0.001).
Conclusions:
HDM is a global necessity, and the study highlights the effectiveness of the STP on HDM, underscoring the importance of equipping health care professionals, especially nurses, with essential disaster management skills.
