Abstract

Background

Primary care providers are well placed to improve disaster preparedness in communities. Their close position to their clients and understanding of theirhealth needs can be utilized to increase disaster preparedeness for vulnerable populations. However, there is still a lack of clarity about their roles and services in this area. The aim of this review was to explore the services provided by primary care providers in the context of disaster preparedness activities for vulnerable populations.

Methods

Scoping review was performed with PubMed, Scopus and MEDLINE databases.

Results

A total of 2193 articles were identified from the database screening and 22 full-text articles yielded for the final analysis. After thematic analysis was conducted, six themes were emerged.

Conclusion

To utilise and maximise theprofessional roles of primary care providers effectively, there is a need to strengthen the expertise and involvement of providers in disaster risk management mechanisms and planning. In addition, there is a need for scientific research to explore the existing capabilities of primary care providers and to facilitate their existing ability to coordinate with disaster management agencies.

探索初级保健提供者在提高弱势人群备灾能力方面的作用的范围界定审查

背景初级医疗服务提供者处于改善社区备灾工作的有利位置。他们与服务对象关系密切，了解他们的健康需求，可以利用他们来提高弱势群体的备灾能力。然而，他们在这一领域的作用和服务仍不明确。本综述旨在探讨初级医疗服务提供者在为弱势人群开展备灾活动时提供的服务。结论为了有效利用并最大限度地发挥初级医疗服务提供者的专业作用，有必要加强初级医疗服务提供者在灾害风险管理机制和规划方面的专业知识和参与。此外，还需要开展科学研究，探索初级医疗服务提供者的现有能力，促进他们与灾害管理机构的现有协调能力。
