Introduction and Purpose/Objectives: With the frequent occurrence of natural disasters, we have found the need to train community-based disaster mitigation nurses in silent phase, not just to train nurses to be dispatched after disasters occur. In Nagano Prefecture, we held a kickoff seminar and a three-part series of disaster mitigation seminars in 2022.
Here, the purpose is to clarify the significance of the training and future challenges from the performance of the eight trainees who participated in the seminar held in 2023 and the results of a questionnaire survey what made after the seminar.
Approaches/Methods: The seminar program was held face-to-face with group work. It was structured to connect participants to future activities such as learning about regional characteristics and disaster prevention systems, methods for learning about the community through simulation, fieldwork and presentation. It also brought human relationship between participants.
Target was 8 trainees, The questionnaire was distributed and collected for each seminar by e-mail.
In conducting the questionnaire, explained that individuals would not be identified, we would be presenting the results at academic conferences etc., and obtained their consent.
Results/Findings: From the survey results, the participants said that they would like to communicate with residents about disaster prevention on a regular basis and think about it together with them to minimize disasters, and to do what they can at evacuation centers in the event of a disaster. They also thought that human resource development is essential and would like to hold study sessions to raise awareness of disaster prevention in the community.
Discussion/Implications: The participants conducted fieldwork in four locations and considered the actual disaster prevention efforts in the community and the disaster prevention activities of nurses. They also discovered issues through interviews with residents, gained a concrete image, and were able to consider what is necessary to plan future activities and into practice.
