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.
