Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of narrative education in enhancing disaster nursing training for intern nurses.
Methods: A total of 97 intern nurses participated in disaster nursing training using a narrative education approach. The Disaster Preparedness Scale and Core Emergency Competency Scale were administered before and after the training to assess changes in disaster preparedness and core emergency capabilities. Additionally, the nurses’ satisfaction with the training duration, methods, and teaching style was evaluated through a survey.
Results: Pre-training, the disaster preparedness score was (97.58 ± 4.15) and the core emergency competency score was (88.63 ± 5.12). Post-training, disaster preparedness improved to (136.63 ± 4.23) and core emergency competency increased to (109.79 ± 3.54). The differences observed before and after the training were statistically significant (P < 0.001). Intern nurses reported high levels of satisfaction with the narrative education approach, with satisfaction rates of 93.8%, 96.5%, and 97.6% for training time, methods, and teaching style, respectively.
Conclusion: The application of narrative education significantly enhances disaster preparedness and core emergency capabilities in intern nurses. Furthermore, the high satisfaction levels among intern nurses indicate the effectiveness and acceptance of the narrative education model in disaster nursing training.
