Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the operation trend of the Disaster Nursing Education Course (DNEC), developed by Korea Armed Forces Nursing Academy. Methods: This study analyzed learning concept, teaching methods, class time, and achievement of participants'' educational objectives in DNEC. In addition, the relevance was identified by comparing the achievement of educational objectives with International Council of Nurses (ICN) Disaster Core Competency Version 2. Results: The learning concept of DNEC was identified as five major categories of ''disaster overview, disaster preparation, disaster response, disaster recovery, and Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive (CBRNE)'', and nine teaching methods were used. Among the major categories, ''disaster response'' and ''CBRNE'' accounted for the most class hours. On the trend line of class hours, ''CBRNE'' showed an increasing trend, and the remaining four categories showed a decreasing trend. Among the teaching methods, lecture and group discussions occupied the most time. In the trend analysis, teaching with high fidelity simulators and standardized patients showed an increasing trend. Participants'' achievement level of educational objectives was 4.13 out of 5 points on average. DNEC educational objectives achievement items were consistent with 28 of the 35 of ICN disaster core competency. Conclusion: This study is meaningful in analyzing operational trends for the first time. The processed data would contribute to improving the future DNEC, and provide implications for development direction of disaster nursing education in Korea.
