Description
1. Introduction
Most of the nurses in the world will never be deployed to a disaster
area but since disasters may hit anywhere, without previous notification, all nurses need to have a basic understanding of disaster nursing [1]. Disasters occur throughout the world, and wherever they hit, they cause a substantial amount of human suffering as well as community disturbance. The number of people affected by disasters is rising, and in
2016, over 569.4 million people were affected, the majority by natural
disasters [2]. Disaster can be defined as: ‘a serious disruption of the
functioning of a community or a society at any scale due to hazardous events interacting with conditions of exposure, vulnerability and capacity, leading to one or more of the following: human, material, economic, and environmental losses and impacts’ [2]. This definition implies that the consequences of an event are dependent not only on the event itself, but
also on pre-existing factors and post-existing factors such as the response [3]. Sudden-onset disasters, including natural disasters (e.g.,earthquakes) and man-made disasters (e.g., accidents or terror attacks), can have several causes and are most often characterized by being unexpected, unpredictable, uncertain, and unplanned. They demand specific methods, knowledge, and strategies to be managed in both all phases of disaster management (i.e., mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery [3,4]. Since history, nurses have played an important part in the disasters in all phases, including response and disaster relief, rehabilitation, recovery and mitigation phases. The focus for this review is the response phase. Nurses are in place whenever and wherever disaster hits, and they also respond by supporting their colleagues and affected people in both within the country and abroad [1].Several researchers have made efforts to summarize competencies needed for nurses responding to disasters, but still there is no agreed universal definition of such competence [5–7]. Also, there are few definitions of what disaster nursing actually is, and how it can be described from a clinical point of view. A previous literature review of disaster nursing preparedness concluded that nurses feel ill prepared for disaster response [8]. In order to prepare and to understand what disaster nursing is about, descriptions of and models are needed, but the few existing models of nursing in disasters are all dedicated to specific areas or specific disaster situations [9]. Therefore, this study aims to present a model for the concept, context, and content of disaster nursing by conducting a systematic literature review of real-life experiences of disaster nursing in the response phase.
