Abstract
Preparedness is a series of activities carried out to anticipate disasters through appropriate and efficient organizational steps. Nurses are one of the main actors in disaster mitigation in the health sector. Nurse preparedness is needed to minimize the impact of disasters. Self-efficacy, caring and organizational commitment are important factors in nurse preparedness. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of self-efficacy, caring, and organizational commitment on preparedness of nurses in dealing with patients during natural disasters. This research was correlational with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 24 nurses in the emergency room at Jampangkulon General Hospital. Data were collected using questionnaires, and statistical analysis was through simple linear regression. The results showed that most of the nurses had high self-efficacy, were caring and experienced moderate organizational commitment, and most were very ready for disaster preparedness. There was a significant effect of self-efficacy on preparedness (p = 0.023), of caring on preparedness (p = 0.003) and of organizational commitment on preparedness (p = 0.008). Based on the results of the study, self-efficacy, caring and organizational commitment significantly impact nurse preparedness.
