Abstract
Objective: To evaluate knowledge and satisfaction of mass casualty management training using a quasi-experimental research approach.
Method: The participants of this study included 58 head nurses, heads of nursing units and other registered nurses designated in the plan. The study was divided into 2 phases: phase 1, education and training were provided before mass casualty management training plan, and phase 2, mass casualty management exercise attended by 15 registered nurses designated in the plan. The questionnaire was composed of 3 parts; (1) knowledge questionnaire (2) practice questionnaire and (3) workshop satisfaction questionnaire. The data was analyzed by frequency, percentage, mean standard deviation and dependent t-test.
Results: Mean knowledge score after the training was statistically significantly higher than that before the training (13.5 vs 11.3; p < 0.01) The overall satisfaction of mass casualty management practice and the workshop was at a high level.
Conclusion: Registered nurses who had education before a mass casualty management training plan were more knowledgeable and were more effective in managing mass casualty.
