Abstract

Background

Patient education is a professional obligation for all nurses. Public health messaging in emergency departments during disasters can help prevent further risk or illness for affected communities. In this study, Australian emergency nurse Key Informants share their perceptions and experiences of preventative messaging provided in their departments during disasters and the governance and processes in place to support this practice.

Methods

The qualitative phase of a mixed methods study, where semi structured interviews were utilised, and data analysed using a six step Thematic analysis.

Results

Three themes were identified: (1) Part of the Job; (2) It’s all in the delivery; and (3) Preparation is the key. These themes include concepts involving the confidence and competence of nurses providing messages, what, when and how messages are being given and how prepared both the department and staff are regarding patient education during disaster events.

Conclusions

Nurse confidence is a key factor in the delivery of preventative messages during disasters, potentially resulting from a lack of exposure, a junior workforce and minimal training. Leaders agree that departments are not preparing or supporting messaging practice, with an absence of specific training, formal guidelines, and patient education resources; and that improvement is needed.

灾难期间的公共卫生信息:对急诊部门关键信息提供者的定性研究。
背景:病人教育是所有护士的职业义务。灾害期间,应急部门的公共卫生信息有助于防止受影响社区面临进一步的风险或疾病。在这项研究中,澳大利亚急诊护士主要信息员分享了他们对灾难期间在其部门提供的预防性信息的看法和经验,以及支持这一做法的治理和流程。方法:混合方法研究的定性阶段,使用半结构化访谈,并使用六步主题分析对数据进行分析。结果:确定了三个主题:(1)工作的一部分;(2) 一切都在交付中;(3)准备是关键。这些主题包括提供信息的护士的信心和能力,提供信息的内容、时间和方式,以及部门和工作人员在灾难事件期间对患者教育的准备情况。结论:护士的信心是在灾难期间传递预防信息的关键因素,这可能是由于缺乏接触、初级劳动力和最低限度的培训造成的。领导们一致认为,各部门没有准备或支持信息传递实践,缺乏具体的培训、正式的指导方针和患者教育资源;并且这种改进是需要的。

期刊介绍: Australasian Emergency Care is an international peer-reviewed journal dedicated to supporting emergency nurses, physicians, paramedics and other professionals in advancing the science and practice of emergency care, wherever it is delivered. As the official journal of the College of Emergency Nursing Australasia (CENA), Australasian Emergency Care is a conduit for clinical, applied, and theoretical research and knowledge that advances the science and practice of emergency care in original, innovative and challenging ways. The journal serves as a leading voice for the emergency care community, reflecting its inter-professional diversity, and the importance of collaboration and shared decision-making to achieve quality patient outcomes. It is strongly focussed on advancing the patient experience and quality of care across the emergency care continuum, spanning the pre-hospital, hospital and post-hospital settings within Australasia and beyond.
