Abstract

Background

Mass casualty situations create leadership opportunities for nurses and emergency responders, yet there is a notable gap in current literature regarding the benefits of interdisciplinary training on student leadership development.

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to explore the lived experience of leadership emergence within undergraduate nursing and emergency medical technician students in the context of a mass casualty incident simulation.

Methods

Retrospective analysis of post-drill survey responses was conducted with 357 nursing and 99 EMT students during an MCIS. The study design was a qualitative, interpretive phenomenological study using the hermeneutic circle for analysis.

Results

Three main themes emerged organically from the data: 1) A Good Leader Knows and Acts, 2) Leaders Inspire and Help, and 3) Respect and Trust Each Other.

Conclusion

This study contributes to current experiential learning and leadership education literature. An MCIS experience can be a valuable tool to cultivate the next generation of leaders, particularly in nursing and emergency responders.

学生在大规模伤亡模拟中发挥领导作用的生活经验

大规模伤亡情况为护士和急救人员创造了领导机会，但目前文献中关于跨学科培训对学生领导能力发展的好处存在显著差距。目的本研究旨在探讨护理与急救医技本科学生在大规模伤亡事件模拟情境下领导力涌现的生活体验。方法对357名护理学生和99名EMT学生在MCIS期间的演练后问卷调查结果进行回顾性分析。研究设计是一个定性的、解释性的现象学研究，使用解释学循环进行分析。结果从数据中有机地出现了三个主题：1)一个好的领导者了解并行动，2)领导者激励和帮助，3)相互尊重和信任。结论本研究对当前的体验式学习和领导力教育文献有所贡献。MCIS的经验可以成为培养下一代领导者的宝贵工具，特别是在护理和紧急救援人员方面。
