Abstract

The injuries that occurred in earthquakes caused an accumulation in hospitals and the need for health services increased. The most needed human resource in the provision of health services in disasters is nurses. The aim of this study is to determine the scope of nursing services in earthquakes and to identify the service needs in hospitals during the February 6 earthquakes in Turkey. In this study, Delphi technique was used for needs analysis. The managers of health institutions in 11 provinces that experienced the earthquake were interviewed to determine how nursing services are carried out during earthquakes. As a result of this study, it was determined that there were inadequacies in triage, identification of earthquake victims, medical intervention and keeping records, identification of deceased earthquake victims, storage of personal belongings, communication with relatives of earthquake victims, and psychosocial support services in disasters such as earthquakes where many people were seriously injured. It has been observed that there is a need for disaster nurses and forensic nurses to work in these areas and it is thought that these 2 nursing fields should be taken into consideration in the planning of health professional resources in disasters.

土耳其 Kahramanmaras 地震中的护理服务：需求分析。

地震造成的人员伤亡导致医院积压，对医疗服务的需求也随之增加。在灾难中提供医疗服务最需要的人力资源是护士。本研究旨在确定地震中的护理服务范围，并确定土耳其 2 月 6 日地震期间医院的服务需求。本研究采用德尔菲技术进行需求分析。对 11 个发生地震省份的医疗机构负责人进行了访谈，以确定地震期间如何开展护理服务。研究结果表明，在分流、地震伤员识别、医疗干预和记录保存、地震死亡伤员识别、个人物品存放、与地震伤员亲属沟通以及在地震等灾害中提供心理支持服务等方面存在不足。据观察，需要灾害护士和法医护士在这些领域开展工作，因此认为在规划灾害中的卫生专业资源时应考虑到这两个护理领域。
