Abstract
Background: Most nurses in disaster situations lack knowledge and skills to comprehend, apply, analyze, synthesize, evaluate, and make accurate clinical decisions. Thereafter, additional enhancements required for health system curriculums, as well as developing critical thinking skills and knowledge for undergraduate students regarding disaster management and triage to reduce the death in disasters and respond effectively in disaster situations. Aim of study: this study aimed to assess nursing students’ knowledge and practice regarding simple triage and rapid treatment. Research design: A descriptive design was utilized. Sample: A convenience sample of 150 nursing students was included in the current study. Setting: This study was carried out at the learning and simulation labs at Nursing Faculty, Modern University for Technology and Information. Tools for data collection: Two tools were utilized for data collection: Tool I: Nursing Students’ assessment questionnaire. Tool II: Nursing students' observational practice checklist. Results: 100% of studied nursing students had poor knowledge regarding triage. Also 100% of nursing students had incompetent practice level regarding triage. Conclusion: The nursing students under study lacked adequate triage knowledge and performance. Recommendation: the study’s findings recommend creating and/or implementing international theoretical and practical education courses on triage for nursing students. In addition to improving the future training programs by identifying issues and needs for nursing students following catastrophe triage education.
