A Study on Disaster Preparedness, Core Competencies and Educational Needs on Disaster Nursing of Nursing Students

본 연구는 간호학생의 재난준비도와 재난간호 핵심수행능력 및 교육요구도를 파악하여 재난간호 교육과정 개발을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 시행된 조사연구로 D 지역 간호대학 및 간호학과 4학년 252명을 대상으로 시행되었다. 연구결과 대상자의 재난간호 수행능력은 평균 2.76이었으며, 재난간호 수행능력중 "재난상황시 문서기록절차"가 2.34, "소속기관의 재난관련지침"이 2.37로 가장 낮았다. 또한, 대상자의 재난준비도는 평균 2.14이었으며, 가장 낮은 항목은 "집에서의 재난대피연습" 항목이었다. 대상자의 재난간호 핵심수행능력에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 재난준비도( β =.48), 재난교육요구도( β =.21), 성적( β =.26), 재난교육 여부( β =-.11)로 나타났다. 본 연구결과 간호학생의 재난준비와 재난간호 핵심수행능력은 부족한 실정으로 나타났으며 재난간호에 대한 교육이 절실히 필요하며 간호대학생을 위한 재난간호 교육과정 개발을 위한 교육내용에 대한 연구가 필요하다. This study was aimed to investigate disaster preparedness, core competencies and educational needs on disaster nursing of nursing students and to provide basic data needed for development of disaster nursing educational program. 254 nursing students enrolled in 3 college of nursing in D-city completed questionnaires. The data were collected from November 1, 2014 to November 30, 2014. The average level of core competencies on disaster nursing was 2.76 out of 5 points, which was moderate for the core competencies on disaster nursing. Disaster preparedness was 2.14 out of 5 points, suggesting that they are generally not well prepared for disaster. Factors affecting core competencies on disaster nursing were disaster preparedness, educational needs, grade, and experience of disaster education. It is necessary to develop disaster nursing educational program to reflect the needs of the field in Korea. And Nurse educator needs to develop strategies to prepare their students for disasters. Further research is needed to adequately address this issue.
