Abstract

Objectives: This study was conducted to determine the relationships between nurses' competency, motivation, and stress levels in disaster management, as well as to shed light on the establishment of effective disaster management programs.

Methods: In our research we used a correlational, descriptive, cross-sectional design. The sample of the study was composed of 498 nurses working in Turkey. The "Descriptive and Professional Characteristics and Disaster Experiences of Nurses" form, the "Competencies for Disaster Nursing Management Questionnaire," the "Perceived Stress Scale," and the "Nurses Job Motivation Scale" were used in data collection.

Results: Nurses' disaster management competency and motivation levels were found to be adequate, and their stress levels were found to be moderate. A weak positive correlation was found between disaster management competency and motivation, but a weak negative correlation was found between stress levels. Age, education level, experience level, training in disaster nursing, and knowledge of duties and responsibilities in disasters were associated with significant differences in terms of disaster competency and its dimensions, motivation, and stress levels.

Conclusions: The study found that nurses' disaster experiences impacted their competency, feeling of preparedness, and stress and motivation levels, and motivation was found to be a predictor of increasing competency.

评估护士在灾害管理中的能力、动机和压力水平。

研究目的本研究旨在确定护士在灾害管理中的能力、动机和压力水平之间的关系，并为建立有效的灾害管理计划提供启示：在研究中，我们采用了相关性、描述性和横断面设计。研究样本由 498 名在土耳其工作的护士组成。数据收集采用了 "护士的描述性和专业特征及灾难经历 "表、"灾难护理管理能力问卷"、"感知压力量表 "和 "护士工作动机量表"：结果表明：护士的灾害管理能力和动机水平适当，压力水平适中。灾难管理能力与动机之间呈弱正相关，但压力水平之间呈弱负相关。年龄、教育程度、经验水平、灾害护理培训以及对灾害中职责和责任的了解与灾害管理能力及其维度、动机和压力水平的显著差异相关：研究发现，护士的灾难经历会影响其能力、准备感、压力和动机水平，而动机是能力提高的预测因素。
