Abstract
The purpose of this study is to identify disaster preparedness among community health nurses. The study subjects were 381 community health nurses in the Seoul metropolitan area, Chungcheong-do, and Gangwon-do. An independent t-test, one-way ANOVA and Scheffe test were used to compare stages of disaster preparedness. The preparedness of community health nurses were 3.27±.79, followed by pre disaster preparedness stage, disaster response stage, and disaster recovery stage. The related factors of disaster preparedness were age, carrier, disaster education and drills in workplace, experience, and awareness of disaster. Recommendations are given for the development and implementation of a disaster nursing curriculum dealing with disaster preparedness because community health nurses self-reported to be less prepared concerning family preparedness in both the pre disaster preparedness and the disaster recovery stages.
