Factor analysis identified two preparedness domains: evacuation awareness and disaster preparedness awareness. Generalized linear models (GLM) assessed associations between awareness scores and sociodemographic and health factors. Sensitivity analysis used a random forest model, and logistic regression examined predictors of low awareness.Results: Two factors explained 76% of variance in preparedness behaviors. GLM showed that older age (Estimate = 10.99, P < .001), larger household size (Estimate = 4.34, P < .001), high income (Estimate = 0.08, P < .001), and community attachment (Estimate = 0.09, P < .001) were positively related to evacuation awareness, while nonregular employment (Estimate = -0.03, P = .01) and public assistance (Estimate = -0.05, P < .001) were negatively associated. Logistic regression confirmed that reliance on public assistance (OR = 1.54, 95% CI [1.26, 1.87]) and nonregular employment increased odds of low preparedness.Conclusions: Social vulnerability factors are linked to lower disaster awareness, identifying a subgroup at higher risk. Preparedness policies should account for demographic and economic disparities, emphasizing tailored, community-based strategies to improve resilience among vulnerable populations.","PeriodicalId":54390,"journal":{"name":"Disaster Medicine and Public Health Preparedness","volume":"19 ","pages":"e279"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145151875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Provider and pharmacist participation in the COVID-19 response was largely through their own initiative and included on-the-job COVID-19 trainings, providing health information to patients, and assisting with testing and contact tracing. Respondents expressed high levels of willingness to participate in a broad range of proposed activities, particularly those from clinics or hospitals and those with previous experience.Conclusions: While respondent willingness for involvement in preparedness and response is high, only a small proportion of respondents had been engaged by health authorities, revealing missed opportunities for fully leveraging private health care providers.

Little is known about factors that influence the degree to which public health practitioners use social media for information sharing and bidirectional communication. This study aimed to examine perspectives on barriers to incorporating social media use into efforts to rebuild trust in public health.Methods: 31 semistructured interviews were conducted with public health practitioners and subject matter experts. Common themes and barriers to using social media were identified using rapid thematic analysis and analyzed by levels of the socioecological framework.Results: Barriers to public health practitioner social media use included lack of training, time, and fear (individual-level); limited online and offline relationships (interpersonal); lack of resources and supportive policies (organizational); and politicization of public health (societal).Conclusions: This study identifies modifiable factors that could be intervened upon to strengthen the public health workforce's social media communication and highlights existing efforts to address barriers. Sustained investment is required to ensure that public health communicators are maximally supported to effectively use social media for trust-building and communication during public health emergencies.","PeriodicalId":54390,"journal":{"name":"Disaster Medicine and Public Health Preparedness","volume":"19 ","pages":"e280"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145151869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to explore the feasibility of using artificial intelligence (AI) techniques for rapid assessment of traumatic injuries based on gait analysis.Methods: We conducted an AI-based investigation using a dataset of 4500 gait images across 3 species: humans, dogs, and rabbits. Each image was categorized as either normal or limping. A deep learning model, YOLOv5-a state-of-the-art object detection algorithm-was trained to identify and classify limping gait patterns from normal ones. Model performance was evaluated through repeated experiments and statistical validation.Results: The YOLOv5 model demonstrated high accuracy in distinguishing between normal and limp gaits across species. Quantitative performance metrics confirmed the model's reliability, and qualitative case studies highlighted its potential application in remote, fast traumatic assessment scenarios.Conclusions: The use of AI, particularly deep convolutional neural networks like YOLOv5, shows promise in enabling fast, remote traumatic injury assessment during disaster response. This approach could assist healthcare professionals in identifying injury risks when physical access to patients is restricted, thereby improving triage efficiency and early intervention.","PeriodicalId":54390,"journal":{"name":"Disaster Medicine and Public Health Preparedness","volume":"19 ","pages":"e272"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145139322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Various disaster nursing education programs have been developed globally, but their effectiveness across cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains remains unclear. This meta-analysis evaluated the overall impact of these programs across learning domains.Methods: Eleven experimental or quasi-experimental studies involving nursing students and nurses were included. The pooled effect size was calculated using Hedges' g. Heterogeneity was assessed using Cochran's Q and the I2 statistic. Subgroup analyses were conducted by learning domain. Publication bias was assessed via a funnel plot.Results: The overall effect size was large (Hedges' g = 1.80, 95% CI: 1.491-2.399, P < .001). Heterogeneity was high (Q = 377.91, P < .001, I2 = 97.4%). The affective domain showed the strongest effect (g = 2.96), followed by psychomotor (g = 1.98) and cognitive (g = 0.66).

This study evaluates CoroVent, a rapidly manufactured ventilator, during real-life deployment in critically ill COVID-19 patients amid ventilator shortages.Methods: This retrospective observational study included patients ventilated with emergency ventilator CoroVent. This device uses a novel and unique way of generating inspiratory flow and gas mixing using fast ON/OFF valves for air and oxygen, producing pneumatic pulses that are then smoothed into continuous flow. Clinical data were collected from 3 hospitals between October 2020 and March 2021, selected from 27 contacted, of which 23 responded and 4 reported clinical use.Results: Eight male patients (mean age 67 years, BMI 37.2 kg·m-2) with COVID-19 or suspected infection were ventilated with CoroVent for 31.3 (10.0-58.5) hours. The mean FiO2 was 71.4%, PEEP 10.6 cmH2O, and Vt 8.9 mL·kg-1 predicted body weight. CoroVent was used as an initial or replacement ventilator during device shortages. No major technical failures occurred.Conclusions: This is the first report of real-life clinical use of a rapidly manufactured emergency ventilator during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Extracted data were deductively coded against the surge capacity domains of staff, stuff/supplies, space, and systems.Results: Ten papers were included in this review. Most spontaneous mass gathering events were related to riots, civil unrest, or unplanned large parties, which required a response from the health care system. Health staff were predominantly from an ambulance, pre-hospital, or emergency medical services. Additional personal protective equipment, such as ballistic equipment and respiratory protection, was required.Conclusions: The planning for a health care response to a spontaneous mass gathering event requires a risk-based approach.
