Understanding the willingness of Australian emergency nurses to respond to a health care disaster


This poster was presented at the 17th World Congress on Disaster and Emergency Medicine, in Beijing, China. This research project aimed to explore the willingness of emergency nurses to work in a disaster. This study used a mixed-methods approach to data collection and analysis. Firstly, a national survey was undertaken, circulated via the College of Emergency Nursing Australasia, the Australian College of Emergency Nursing and in four partner hospitals in Australia. Secondly, a number of focus groups were undertaken at the partner hospitals. Finally, individual interviews were conducted with participants who had previously participated in a focus group session.

This poster highlights some of the preliminary findings from this project.
