Intervention improved self-efficacy and preparedness in emergency medicine residents, indicating effective disaster training.

This research aims to evaluate the impact of a structured training course on self-efficacy and disaster preparedness in emergency medicine residents.
Conducted a pre-test/post-test intervention with 30 emergency medicine residents.
Implemented a four-week disaster-management course based on the ADDIE framework.
Utilized didactic sessions, online lectures, and tabletop exercises to simulate mass-casualty incidents.
Assessed self-efficacy and knowledge using a validated questionnaire before and after the course.
Participants showed a significant increase in self-efficacy from a baseline mean of 2.4/5 to 3.6 post-course (p < 0.001).
Demonstrated notable gains in knowledge regarding the Hospital Incident Command System and disaster preparedness concepts.
While triage accuracy remained high, mean cycle time for decision-making improved substantially from 6.9 to 3.2 minutes.
