The effect of global disaster competency development program on paramedic and nursing undergraduate students

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Purpose : This study assessed the improvement of competency levels for participants, as well as their satisfaction from completion of the special international disaster response program.
Methods : The program structure followed an intensive two-week course that included a combination of lectures, discussions, case studies, and field trips. "ICN Framework of Disaster Nursing Competencies” was used for designing the program. A pre-post survey was done to measure the change in the competencies of students and assess their satisfaction after finishing the program. Focus group interviews were also performed to further understand the attitudes of participants toward the disaster issues.
Results : The overall pre-program test score for disaster competency was 2.18±0.68 and the post-program test score was 6.30±0.84, which showed statistically significant gains in all competency items (p <.001).The general satisfaction of participants with the program was quite high, demonstrated by a mean score of 4.5±0.51. The benefits for students from program participation included increased knowledge and better understanding of the important roles of international organizations and NGOs.
Conclusion : The international disaster education programs are necessary to provide an opportunity for students to increase their disaster competency. In addition, future development of a unified educational competency framework is also necessary.
