Abstract
Background and Objectives: Our world is affected every day by events that could turn into crises. Hospitals and health center staff are directly affected by these crises. Since nurses provide the most health services in hospitals in case of accidents and disasters, this study was conducted to determine the self-efficacy of nurses in dealing with emergencies in the Masih Daneshvari Hospital.
Methods and Materials: This descriptive cross-sectional study was performed. The standard questionnaire was collected based on Bandura’s social cognitive model to assess the self-efficacy of nurses in the face of unexpected events. The questionnaire had 46 questions with a Likert scale of 1 to 5 (not at all, little, somewhat, good, and quite good). Which was divided into 6 areas of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, crisis communication skills, management and distribution of resources and manpower, management of the injured, and corpses, clinical care skills in crisis and general skills? The validity and reliability of the questionnaire have already been done. The validity of the questionnaire was determined by the content validity method and its coefficient was 92% and the reliability of the questionnaire was calculated by retest method in a group of ten nurses and Cronbach's alpha (internal correlation coefficient) was equal to 82%. Data analysis was performed using SPSS22 software.
Result: Of the 252 participants in the study, 70% were women. Most age groups were 20 to 29 years old. 25.6% of people had a history of accidents, and 56.4% had previous training in disasters. The highest score obtained from nurses' self-efficacy in general skills was 68.5%, and the lowest score related to clinical care skills in crisis was 54.4%.
Conclusion: Since raising the awareness of nurses in health centers is very important for managing accidents and disasters that occur unexpectedly, it seems necessary to expand the knowledge and practice of this group. Dealing better with the possible future accidents requires for the nurses to be empowered. This study could identify the topics for empowering nurses in emergencies.
