| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study is aimed at promoting disaster preparedness of individual nurses and building their capacity for workplace contribution. Interviews with nursing administrators about circumstances in the aftermath of the Hokkaido Eastern Iburi Earthquake identified both tangible challenges, such as facility characteristics, equipment, and manuals, and intangible challenges, such as staff and administrators themselves.
The spread of COVID-19 restricted social interactions, highlighting the need for new disaster preparedness strategies and prompting renewed discussions about disaster nursing and preparedness activities. As disasters became more frequent and diverse both domestically and internationally, nurses gained experience in disaster response, disaster training, and mass infection event management. Consequently, it became clear that not only equipment and systems but also colleagues and spaces sharing these resources are valuable for nurses’ disaster preparedness activities.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究は、災害に関わる看護師の備災活動をアクションリサーチで行い、実践を変化させるところに学術的意義がある。
北海道胆振東部地震を経験した看護管理者は災害への備え、人材育成を行うことの必要性を感じていた。しかし、中小規模病院や慢性期病院では施設内で人材育成を行うことに限界があった。本研究で他施設看護職が集い交流することで、看護職自身の考え方や意識に変化を及ぼしていた。平常時に災害看護への思いを共有する他施設間の仲間や場で、備災活動を行うことは、災害時に地域社会と人々の生命と生活を守ることに寄与できると示唆された。
