Jordanian Nurses' Perceptions of Disaster Preparedness and Core Competencies
Abstract
Objective: This study aims to identify the Jordanian nurses' perception of their disaster preparedness and core competencies.
Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional research design was used. The data was collected via an online self-reported questionnaire using the disaster preparedness evaluation tool and the core disaster competencies tool.
Results: A total of 126 nurses participated in the study. Jordanian nurses had moderate to high levels of core disaster competencies and moderate levels of disaster preparedness. Core disaster competencies and disaster preparedness levels differed based on previous training on disaster preparedness, and the availability of an established emergency plan in their hospitals. Lastly, a previous training on disaster preparedness and core disaster competencies were statistically significant predictors of disaster preparedness among Jordanian nurses.
Conclusions: Organizational factors and environmental contexts play a role in the development of such capabilities. Future research should focus on understanding the barriers and facilitators of developing core disaster competencies and disaster preparedness among nurses.
Keywords: Jordan; core competencies; disaster; disaster preparedness; nurses’ perceptions.
