<![CDATA[Background: Disaster response by nurses in border areas requires effective strategies to improve disaster preparedness and response. Purpose: To determine the correlation between disaster emergency response and nurse preparedness. Method: This study used an analytical survey design with a cross-sectional approach, conducted in health facilities in the border area of West Kalimantan, involving nurses as the target population. A sample of 126 nurses was selected through purposive sampling, and data were analyzed using the chi-square test. Results: The majority of respondents categorized their disaster preparedness as "ready" (90 respondents); their participation in disaster training was categorized as "ever" (68 respondents); the majority of respondents categorized their disaster emergency response as "responsive" (97 respondents) (77%), and their emergency response time was categorized as "fast" (74 respondents) (58.7%). Study variables significantly associated with nurse preparedness included nurse responsiveness (p = 0.030), emergency response time (p = 0.016), and emergency/disaster training (p = 0.042). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between nurse response, emergency response time, and disaster training and nurse preparedness. Suggestion: The frequency and quality of emergency training for nurses in border areas can be periodically improved to strengthen preparedness and optimize the accuracy and speed of emergency response times. Keywords: Border Areas; Disaster Emergency Response; Nurse Preparedness. Pendahuluan: Tanggap bencana oleh perawat di daerah perbatasan memerlukan srategi yang efektif dalam meningkatkan kesiapan dan respon terhadap bencana. Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui korelasi tanggap darurat bencana terhadap kesiapsiagaan perawat. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan desain survei analitik dengan pendekatan cross-sectional, dilakukan di fasilitas kesehatan daerah perbatasan Kalimantan Barat dengan melibatkan perawat sebagai populasi target. Sampel yang terpilih sebanyak 126 perawat, ditentukan melalui teknik purposive sampling dan data dianalisis menggunakan uji chi-square. Hasil: Mayoritas kesiapsiagaan responden terhadap bencana ada dalam kategori siap sebanyak 90 responden (71.4%), keikutsertaan responden dalam pelatihan bencana diklasifikasikan ke dalam kategori pernah yaitu sebanyak 68 responden (54.0%), dan mayoritas responden terhadap tanggap darurat bencana dalam ketegori tanggap sebanyak 97 responden (77.0%) serta waktu tanggap darurat responden terhadap bencana dalam kategori cepat yaitu 74 responden (58.7%). Variabel penelitian yang berhubungan signifikan dengan kesiapsigaan perawat meliputi respon perawat (p = 0.030), waktu tanggap darurat (p = 0.016), dan pelatihan kegawatdaruratan/bencana (p = 0.042). Simpulan: Terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara respon perawat, waktu tanggap darurat, dan pelatihan kebencanaan terhadap kesiapsiagaan perawat. Saran: Frekuensi dan kualitas pelatihan kegawatdaruratan dapat ditingkatkan secara berkala bagi perawat di wilayah perbatasan guna memperkuat kesiapsiagaan serta mengoptimalkan ketepatan dan kecepatan waktu tanggap darurat.
