Abstract

Background: Shelter nursing plays a crucial role in disaster preparedness, yet its integration into nursing education remains limited. This study aims to evaluate nursing students' knowledge, attitudes, and awareness concerning shelter nursing and identify their educational needs in this critical area.

Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among nursing students from Fırat University and Sakarya University Faculties of Health Sciences between August and November 2024. A total of 1,450 students were invited, and a sample size of 304 was determined using OpenEpi Version-3 software (power = 80%, confidence level = 95%). Data were collected through an online structured questionnaire, and statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, means, and standard deviations.

Results: The study sample included 304 participants with a mean age of 20.92 ± 2.66 years. The majority were female (83.2%) and single (98.7%). Only 5.9% had prior knowledge of shelter nursing, and 6.6% could correctly define the concept, highlighting significant educational gaps. Chi-square analysis revealed that gender significantly influenced awareness (p = 0.018), with female students demonstrating higher awareness levels. However, no significant differences were observed for other variables. A total of 76.6% of participants identified the need for additional training, while only 1% had received prior education on shelter nursing. Additionally, 91.1% of students reported inadequate knowledge of basic medical interventions in shelter nursing. Despite these gaps, 73.7% expressed a strong interest in crisis management training, with trauma and psychological issues being identified as the most critical health challenges in shelter environments.

Conclusions: There is a critical need to integrate shelter nursing education into nursing curricula to enhance disaster preparedness. Findings highlight the importance of incorporating gender-sensitive and subgroup-focused educational strategies. The inclusion of simulation-based training, field exercises, and disaster management modules is strongly recommended. Although knowledge deficits exist, students' high willingness to engage in shelter nursing education suggests a strong foundation for future curriculum development.

护生对防灾避难护理的知识、态度和意识。
背景:庇护所护理在备灾中发挥着至关重要的作用,但其与护理教育的结合仍然有限。本研究旨在评估护生对收容所护理的知识、态度和意识,并确定他们在这一关键领域的教育需求。方法:采用描述性横断面研究方法,于2024年8 - 11月对Fırat大学和Sakarya大学健康科学学院的护理专业学生进行调查。共邀请了1450名学生,使用OpenEpi Version-3软件确定了304名样本量(功率= 80%,置信水平= 95%)。数据通过在线结构化问卷收集,统计分析包括描述性统计、卡方检验、平均值和标准差。结果:研究样本包括304名参与者,平均年龄20.92±2.66岁。以女性(83.2%)和单身(98.7%)居多。只有5.9%的人有收容所护理的先验知识,6.6%的人能正确定义概念,突出了显著的教育差距。卡方分析显示,性别对认知有显著影响(p = 0.018),女生的认知水平更高。然而,在其他变量上没有观察到显著差异。共有76.6%的参与者确定需要额外的培训,而只有1%的人之前接受过收容所护理方面的教育。此外,91.1%的学生报告对收容所护理的基本医疗干预措施了解不足。尽管存在这些差距,但73.7%的人表示对危机管理培训有浓厚兴趣,创伤和心理问题被确定为住房环境中最严重的健康挑战。结论:迫切需要将庇护所护理教育纳入护理课程,以提高备灾能力。调查结果突出了纳入对性别问题敏感和注重次群体的教育战略的重要性。强烈建议包括基于模拟的训练、实地演习和灾害管理模块。尽管存在知识缺陷,但学生参与庇护所护理教育的高意愿为未来课程发展奠定了坚实的基础。临床试验号:不适用。
