Objective:To investigate the status of disaster preparedness of pediatric nurses and its influencing factors, as well as the impact path of psychological capital and perceived organizational support on disaster preparedness.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. A total of 361 pediatric nurses from Henan Provincial People ′s Hospital, the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Fuwai Central China Cardiovascular Hospital were sampled from August to October 2021. They were investigated by the general information questionnaire, psychological capital questionnaire, perceived organizational support questionnaire and disaster preparedness questionnaire. SPSS25.0 was used to analyze the questionnaire and scale data, and AMOS23.0 was used to construct a structural equation model about the disaster preparedness of pediatric nurses. Results:The scores of disaster preparedness from pediatric nurses was 4.65 ± 0.92. The level of disaster preparedness was significantly positively correlated with psychological capital and perceived organizational support ( r=0.690, 0.525, both P<0.05). Disaster training and emergency drill 2 dimensions of psychological capital questionnaire (hope, resilience), perceived organizational support were independent contributing factors ( P<0.05). Psychological capital had direct effect on disaster preparedness. And the direct effect was 0.77, the indirect effect was 0.11, the total effect was 0.88, and the direct effect of perceived organizational support on disaster preparedness was 0.21. Conclusions:The score of disaster preparedness of pediatric nurses was in the middle level. Hospital managers should strengthen the training of pediatric nurses in disaster knowledge, operational and simulation exercise, pay attention to the level of nurses' psychological capital and perceived organizational support, so as to provide reference for the follow-up clinical pediatric disaster nursing education and management.
