ABSTRACT

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of nursing competencies and military spirit on disaster preparedness among Korea Armed Forces Nursing Academy (KAFNA) cadets. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted from the 3rd and 4th grade KAFNA cadets. The data were collected from August 17 to 20, 2021. The structured questionnaire consisted of 106 questions about nursing competencies, military spirit, disaster preparedness, and general characteristics of participants. Results: The average score of nursing competencies, military spirit, and disaster preparedness were 3.92±0.48, 3.71±0.61 and 3.35±0.60 out of 5. Disaster preparedness was positively correlated with nursing competencies (r=.62, p<.001) and military spirit (r=.38, p<.001). There was significantly positive correlation between nursing competencies and military spirit. (r=.51, p<.001). The significant influencing factors on disaster preparedness were ‘nursing competencies’ (β=0.51, p<.001) and ‘4th grade’ (β=0.59, p<.001). Conclusion: To enhance the disaster preparedness of cadets in response to disasters, an education program for KAFNA cadets should be focused to improve the nursing competencies based on disaster nursing education.
