Aim: This research aimed to identify the recognitions of nurse leaders in relation to global agendas, the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction and the Sustainable Development Goals, and to explore challenges in disaster nursing.
Methods: This research was a qualitative design based on a content analysis of semi-structured interviews with 11 nursing leaders involved in disaster nursing education at universities and other institutions. Data collection was conducted from October 2018 to September 2019.
Results: The following five categories of leaders’ recognitions relating to global agendas were identified: “Globally common challenges consistent with the goals of nursing,” “Potential of nursing contributions to the global agendas,” “A framework for rethinking responsibilities of nurses,” “Requirements of a framework applicable to nursing,” and “Characteristics of the global agendas.” Furthermore, the following six categories relating to the challenges in disaster nursing were identified: “Promoting understanding of the global agendas,” “Promoting nursing education and fostering talent,” “Expanding the roles of nurses and reconsidering their responsibilities,” “Strategic initiatives as a professional organization,” “Promoting preparedness for risk reduction,” and “Promoting national and international collaboration and coordination.”
Conclusion: The following three priorities were identified for the nursing community: (1) the introduction of disaster nursing into all basic and continuing nursing education curricula worldwide and the development of its educational content; (2) addressing the rapidly increasing healthcare needs of the local population in the event of a disaster; and (3) promote interdisciplinary collaboration and cooperation to achieve these agendas.
