About this study
Official title: The Effect of the ICN Disaster Nursing Core Competency Training on Disaster Preparedness and Psychological Resilience in Nurses
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the ICN disaster nursing basic competency training affects nurses' disaster preparedness and psychological resilience. The main question to be answered by the study is:
1- Does the ICN disaster nursing basic competency training have an effect on nurses' disaster preparedness and psychological resilience compared to other disaster training programs? The researchers will provide one group of nurses with ICN disaster nursing basic competency training and another group with their regular disaster training program. Both groups will complete a questionnaire measuring disaster preparedness and psychological resilience once before the training begins and twice at specified intervals after the training is completed.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
ICN disaster nursing basic competency training will be providedOther
ICN disaster nursing core competency training differs from the standard disaster training provided to nurses working in hospitals. It aims to equip nurses with different skills in this area.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| ICN group | Experimental | 40 people who will receive ICN disaster nursing basic competency training Receives: Other: ICN disaster nursing basic competency training will be provided |
| ministry group | No intervention | A group of 40 nurses who will receive standard disaster nursing training |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
The number of participants in the experimental group who participated in the training and whose scores on the Nurses' Disaster Management Competency Assessment Scale increased.
Nurses' Competency Assessment Scale for Disaster Management: The total scale and its sub-dimensions are evaluated based on mean scores. A mean score approaching 1 indicates that nurses are inadequate in disaster management, while a score approaching 5 indicates that nurses are competent in disaster management.
Measured: Immediately after training, and at 4 and 12 weeks
The number of participants in the experimental group who attended the training and whose Short-Term Endurance Scale scores increased.
The Brief Resilience Scale is a 5-point Likert-type measurement tool. "I completely disagree" is scored as 1, and "I completely agree" is scored as 5. A high score on the scale indicates a high level of psychological resilience.
Measured: Immediately after training, and at 4 and 12 weeks
