Abstract:
?? [Abstract]? Objective? To understand the disaster emergency knowledge and disaster preparedness among emergency nurses, and to analyze the correlation between them. Methods? From February 2017 to June 2017, we selected emergency nurses at two ClassⅢ hospitals and two ClassⅡ hospitals in Zhejiang by convenience sampling. Questionnaire survey was carried out with the general information questionnaire, nursing knowledge of disaster emergency scale and the disaster preparedness evaluation tool. A total of 550 questionnaires were sent out and 480 valid questionnaires were collected with 87.27% for the valid recovery rate. Results? Among 480 emergency nurses, the total score and average score of disaster emergency knowledge was (129.91±28.70) and (3.25±0.72) respectively. The total score and average score of disaster preparedness was (156.35±21.60) and (3.47±0.48) respectively. Single factor analysis showed that the influencing factors of disaster preparedness among emergency nurses included education levels, positional titles, working lives, whether attended large emergency events rescue (P＜ 0.05). A positive correlation between disaster emergency knowledge and disaster preparedness was displayed in the correlation analysis among emergency nurses (P＜0.05). Regression analysis showed that triage classification, reports, gaining vital resources and communications in disaster emergency knowledge could explain 39.4% of the total variance of disaster preparedness among emergency nurses after controlling general information. Conclusions? Disaster emergency knowledge can forecast the disaster preparedness among emergency nurses. However, emergency nurses lack disaster emergency knowledge. Nursing managers of emergency department should make targeted intervention based on disaster emergency knowledge to improve disaster preparedness of emergency nurses.
