Disaster preparedness scale for nursing
The importance of preparation to minimize the damage from disasters is well understood, although knowing what to prepare for and to what degree is a truly challenging issue. Disaster Preparedness Scale for Nursing was built with the goal to put it in practical application. Disaster Preparedness Scale for Nursing consists of 131 items in total regarding four categories (care provision, nursing education, nursing management, nursing research) with seven sub-categories (equipment/institution, personnel, budget, organization/system, community characteristics/culture, information/communication, philosophy/attitude).It was developed through literature review, interview survey and domestic and international surveys based on Delphi method.
