Enhancing Disaster Management Preparedness Through Simulation

Abstract

ABSTRACT:Disaster management can be difficult to teach in the classroom, yet nurses must be prepared to respond to emergency situations and feel confident doing so. Educators developed a simulated learning activity - a mock disaster drill using live volunteers as patients and emergency medical technicians - to improve disaster management preparedness, confidence, and interdisciplinary teamwork among nursing students. This article details their strategy and experience with this project.
