Abstract
Background: As disasters increase globally, there is a critical need to enhance disaster nursing competencies. This article presents integrating service-learning (SL) with multiagency collaboration in disaster nursing education.
Method: A structured educational framework was developed that incorporated SL and multiagency partnerships into the disaster nursing curriculum, focusing on partnership development, curriculum alignment, and project execution.
Results: Implementing this approach can enhance student competencies and award relevant microcredentials in disaster response. Partner communities reported improved preparedness, resilience, and strengthened partnerships, fostering sustainable, community-driven disaster readiness.
Conclusion: Integrating SL and multiagency collaboration in disaster nursing education effectively builds student competencies and community disaster readiness, providing a scalable model for enhancing educational outcomes and societal resilience in disaster-prone areas.
