The Effect of Disaster Knowledge, Disaster Awareness and Disaster Preparednesson Disaster Response Ability among Nursing Students

본 연구의 목적은 간호대학생의 재난관련 지식과, 재난인식, 재난준비도, 재난대처능력정도를 확인하고, 이들의 상관관계와 재난대응능력에 영향을 주는 요인을 규명하는데 있다. 자료 수집은 2018년 3월부터 5월까지 간호대학생 209명을 대상으로 구조화된 설문지를 이용하였다. 수집된 자료는 기술 통계, t-검정, ANOVA, Pearson 상관계수 (correlation coefficients) 및 위계적 회귀분석을 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석결과 재난인식 및 재난준비도, 재난대응능력정도와 재난관련 지식의 각각의 평균은 3.58±.65점, 3.06±.70점, 3.01±.57점(5점 만점)과 5.12±1.71점(10점 만점)으로 나타났다. 간호대학생들의 재난대응능력에 영향을 주는 요인은 학년(β=.165, p=.012), 재난준비도(β=.385 p<.001), 재난교육 경험(β=.212, p=.001)이고, 총 설명력은 24.0%(F=11.924, p<.001)였다. 그러므로 간호교육과정에서 다양한 콘텐츠를 활용하여 적극적으로 재난교육 프로그램을 개발한 후 적용할 것을 제언한다.

The Purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of disaster knowledge, awareness, preparedness on disaster response ability among nursing students, and to identify their correlation as well as the factors affecting their ability to cope with disasters. The questionnaires were collected from 209 nursing students in Korea from March to April, 2018. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient and hierarchical regression analysis. The results showed that the average scores of disaster awareness, disaster preparedness, disaster response ability and disaster knowledge were 3.58 ± 0.65 (out of 5), 3.06 ± 0.70 (out of 5), 3.01 ± .57 (out of 5). and 5.12 ± 1.71 (out of 10) respectively. The factors affecting the ability of nursing students to cope with disasters included grade (β = .165, p = .012), disaster preparedness (β = .385, p = <.001), disaster education experience (β = 212, p=.001) and the total explanatory power was 24.0% (F = 11.924, p = <.001). The findings suggested that a disaster education program should be developed with various contents and implemented in the nursing education curriculum.
