ABSTRACT

Objective:To understand the current status of the disaster rescue core capabilities of emergency nurses in Tianjin, analyze the correlation between nurses' core capabilities in disaster rescue and disaster preparedness and self-efficacy, and establish a multiple regression model to explore the impact of emergency nurses' disaster preparedness and self-efficacy on core capabilities of disaster rescue.Methods:A survey of 491 emergency nurses in 12 hospitals of Tianjin was conducted using the general data questionnaire, disaster rescue core competency questionnaire, nurse disaster preparedness scale, and general self-efficacy scale.Results:The total score of disaster rescue core competence of emergency nurses was at a medium level (69.98±17.85) points, the total disaster preparedness score was (186.46±44.24) points, and the general self-efficacy score was (29.04±4.86) points. Disaster readiness ( r=0.783, P<0.001) and general self-efficacy ( r=0.515, P<0.001) were positively related to the core competence of disaster rescue, which together accounted for 61.9% of the total variation in core capacity of disaster rescue. Conclusion:Nursing managers should start with nurses' own factors to improve nurses' self-efficacy. At the same time, they should pay attention to and strengthen nurses' disaster rescue nursing training, improve nurses' disaster preparedness, so as to improve emergency nurses' emergency rescue ability.
