Abstract

Nurses play a critical part in disaster response, and having nursing skills to be prepared for a disaster is essential and valuable. Healthcare workers must be explicitly trained to respond during catastrophe; thus, this study focused to determine the student nurse's knowledge, attitude, and practices on disaster preparedness as future care provider. This utilized a quantitative descriptive-correlational approach, total enumeration sampling, and used a four-part survey questionnaire. The result showed that most respondents were female, aged 18 to 22, and a resident of rural area. Nursing students have a sufficient understanding of disaster preparedness, including the importance of effective disaster planning and preparation, disaster warnings and indicators, and the appropriate responses to consider in the event of a disaster. The nursing students have a positive attitude toward disaster preparedness, particularly regarding their families' safety. Nursing students agree that they have sufficient disaster preparedness strategies, although they are not always mentally and physically prepared when a disaster occurs. Findings revealed that students' disaster preparedness knowledge and practices significantly correlate with their demographic profile; their social integration improve as they progress through the year levels. Based on the collected data, the nursing students' knowledge, attitude, and practices are satisfactory; however, there is still potential to expand and enhance disaster preparedness knowledge, attitude, and practices. Continuing education and training workshops to become proficient in disaster preparedness could help students improve knowledge, attitude, and practices, resulting in better management and preparation for potential disaster occurrences.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines caused schools to shift from face-to-face learning to a flexible learning approach that partly requires technology to deal with. Given this solution, the implementation caused struggles for nursing students with limited technological resources. Thus, the researchers deemed it necessary to conduct this research to describe the technological resources used by the nursing students and the coping strategies they develop to manage their situation. This research used a quantitative descriptive-correlational approach; a total enumeration as sampling design gathered through questionnaire was utilized. Analysis of data revealed that most of the profile of respondents were female, from the rural area, monthly family income belonged to the low-income group (but not poor), the monthly budget for internet Php 1,001 to Php 1,500, and using a router. The result also showed that students get stressed out when they get disconnected in the online discussion. They also felt pressure in their academic subjects, resulting in ineffective learning and trouble uploading videos. Given these, the student’s coping strategy is to download the PPT/PDF of the online lessons to manage the situation. Correlation analysis was used and revealed that all variables were correlated to each other. This study came up with a proposed program to augment limited technological resources with the aid of the school and in collaboration with other agencies that can address this concern.
