Summary
A disaster triage training program significantly improved nurses' knowledge, skills, and resilience for mass casualty incidents. This training is vital for enhancing disaster preparedness among healthcare professionals.
Area of Science:
- Emergency Medicine
- Nursing Education
- Disaster Preparedness
Background:
- Effective disaster triage is critical for managing mass casualty incidents.
- Nurses require specialized training to enhance their disaster response capabilities.
- Existing training programs may not adequately address the unique challenges of disaster scenarios.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and evaluate a disaster triage training program for nurses.
- To assess the program's impact on nurses' knowledge, skills, and resilience.
- To determine the program's effectiveness in preparing nurses for disaster events.
Main Methods:
- A randomized controlled trial involving 108 nurses in two Indonesian government hospitals.
- Experimental group received a 4-hour mass casualty incident triage training.
- Knowledge, skills, and resilience were measured pre-intervention, immediately post-intervention, and 1 month later.
Main Results:
- Nurses in the training group demonstrated significant improvements in disaster triage knowledge, skills, and resilience compared to the control group.
- Improvements were sustained at 1-month follow-up.
- Trained nurses found the program relevant to local disaster scenarios (e.g., earthquakes, floods) and valued practical elements.
Conclusions:
- Disaster triage training is an effective strategy for enhancing nurses' preparedness.
- Healthcare institutions should integrate disaster preparedness training into regular nursing education.
- Further assessment of training effectiveness is recommended.

Rural Health Centers
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...

Critical thinking helps decision-making and allows nurses to recognize barriers to success and find solutions to possible issues. It helps to brainstorm and implement ideas to achieve goals. Critical thinking helps acknowledge and state workflow inefficiencies while improving management techniques. Nurses understand the value of critical thinking and look for fellow nurses with critical thinking skills to upgrade their professional standards. Critical thinking can advance a nurse's career...

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.

Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:

5.7K
Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.
