Abstract

Background: Indonesia frequently experiences natural disasters, underscoring the importance of nursing competencies in disaster preparedness. Nevertheless, especially among general nurses, the factors shaping these competencies are not well understood.Purpose: This study aimed to explore Indonesian nurses’ perceptions of disaster preparedness competencies and compare these perceptions across distinct characteristics.Methods: Adopting a cross-sectional design, 230 nurses from all wards of a public hospital in Jakarta Province were selected via quota sampling. The Nurses’ Perceptions of Disaster Core Competencies Scale (NPDCC) questionnaire was utilized to assess nurses’ perceptions of competencies across five domains. The study employed Chi-square, Fisher’s exact, and Likelihood ratio tests, followed by backward (likelihood ratio) multiple logistic regression, to analyze the relationship between nurses’ characteristics and their perception of disaster preparedness competencies.Results: Results indicated that 51.7% of nurses perceived their disaster competencies as high, with an average score of 175.84(25.017). Further analysis revealed that nurses’ perceptions of these competencies were influenced by education (p=0.002), disaster simulation experience (p=0.036), and awareness of hospital disaster plans (p=0.012), with Nagelkerke’s R2=0.140. Nurses with a diploma qualification were 2.569 times more likely to perceive their skills as lower. Lack of simulation experience and unawareness of the plan further diminished perceived competencies, with ORs of 2.050 and 5.420, respectively.Conclusion: While education, disaster simulation experience, and plan awareness are crucial for nurses’ perceptions of disaster competencies, enhancing other supportive factors is also vital. This study recommends that hospitals increase educational opportunities, emphasizing regular disaster simulations and granting better access to disaster plans, to bolster nurses’ disaster preparedness competencies.
探讨护士对备灾能力的认知
背景:印度尼西亚经常遭受自然灾害,这突出了护理能力在备灾中的重要性。然而,特别是在普通护士中,塑造这些能力的因素并没有得到很好的理解。目的:本研究旨在探讨印尼护士对备灾能力的看法,并比较这些看法在不同的特征。方法:采用横断面设计,采用定额抽样的方法从雅加达省某公立医院各病房抽取230名护士。采用护士灾难核心能力感知量表(NPDCC)问卷,评估护士对五个领域能力的感知。本研究采用卡方检验、Fisher精确检验和似然比检验,并采用后向(似然比)多元logistic回归分析护士特征与备灾能力感知之间的关系。结果:51.7%的护士认为自己的灾难能力较高,平均得分为175.84分(25.017分)。进一步分析发现,护士对这些能力的感知受到教育(p=0.002)、灾难模拟经验(p=0.036)和医院灾难计划意识(p=0.012)的影响,Nagelkerke的R2=0.140。拥有文凭资格的护士认为自己的技能较低的可能性是其他人的2569倍。缺乏模拟经验和不了解计划进一步降低了感知能力,分别为2.050和5.420。结论:虽然教育、灾难模拟经验和计划意识对护士的灾难能力认知至关重要,但加强其他支持性因素也至关重要。这项研究建议医院增加教育机会,强调定期的灾害模拟,并提供更好的灾害计划,以加强护士的备灾能力。
