This study examined the effectiveness of using a disaster scenario in a class, designed to help nursing students think about health care outside the hospital. Fifty-seven second-year nursing students (mean age 20 years, all female) were included in the study, which took place in May-June 2019. A pretest verified students’ existing knowledge, and disaster scenarios were developed and taught based on an analysis of social needs and disaster situations. Students wrote worksheets before and after the class, in addition to a report after the class. Chi-square test analysis of the change in the percentage of correct answers between the pretest and posttest showed that 9 of the 11 questions on health care were significant at the 1% level. On the students’ worksheets, 12 words appeared frequently before the class and 24 after. Content analysis of the reports showed that there were 20 subcategories that could be grouped into seven categories. Based on the percentage of correct answers on the posttest, the increase in the number of words on the worksheet, and the content of the categories, the introduction of disaster scenarios into the classroom enabled nursing students to think independently about health care in evacuation center during disasters.
