Abstract Background: Globally disasters are increasing at alarming rate that leads giving training and making preparing frontline emergency department nurses an important issue. Although disasters are manageable and preventable they are still considered as a major public health issues. Methods: Hospital based cross sectional study used to come up with the findings. All emergency department working nurses from the region referral hospitals were assumed as study subjects. The disaster information on respondents was gathered with self-administered written questionnaires. Data entry and coding was made by using epidata software manager v4.6.0.2 and further exported to spss version 26 for further analysis. Result: In our study finding most participants were males 68(66.7%). In addition mean age of data respondents were 31.2±5.8. It is found that 25(24.5%) of participants have adequate practice on the contrary 75(75.5%) of respondents have inadequate practice. Also, 40(39.2%) respondents need training on first aid and treatment principles, 37(36.3%) need training on disaster preparedness and 31(30.4%) need training on basic principles of disaster response. In multivariate analysis variables with practice of disaster preparedness are training performed in a hospital set up {P value= 0.047, OR: 0.282, 95%CI: (0.081-0.985)} and simulation done in hospital {P value= 0.002, OR: 0.071, 95%CI: (0.055-0.530)} were significantly associated. Conclusions: Skill level of emergency department nurses with regard to disaster preparedness is inadequate so that training supported with drills & simulation and education are mandatory.

Major Incidents

Abstract BackgroundMajor incidents continue to pose a threat to health care systems by overwhelming them with a sudden surge of patients. A major factor impacting a hospital's surge capacity is the skills, abilities, and knowledge of emergency department registered nurses. The level of disaster nursing competency they possess affects patient safety and outcome. ED RNs' ability to accurately assess their competency and knowledge is imperative for mitigating the effect of major incidents. ED RN’s perception of overall disaster preparedness has not been thoroughly addressed. The aim of this study was to assess emergency department registered nurses' self-perceived disaster preparedness.MethodThe study was a cross-sectional study. A self-assessment questionnaire based on the results of a study identifying specific disaster nursing competencies for emergency department registered nurses was distributed to all emergency department registered nurses at six participating hospitals between January 10th to February 19th of 2019. A five-point Likert-type scale was used to assess competency.ResultsEmergency department registered nurses’ disaster preparedness according to the Total Disaster Competency mean, was low. Furthermore, the results indicate that ED RNs’ overestimate their disaster nursing competency when compared to the Total Disaster Competency score. When asked to estimate their overall the mean was ”less than competent” yet higher than the Total Disaster Competency score. Knowledge gaps concerning disaster preparedness plans were also identified. Additionally, this study identified factors associated with disaster preparedness and self-assessment ability.Conclusion ED RNs’ overestimate their disaster preparedness and may lack self-awareness concerning their disaster competencies. However, ED RNs with formal disaster education appeared to have better insight concerning their preparedness. Clinical experiences, higher levels of education, and training were positively associated with preparedness. A lack of self-awareness may negatively impact patient outcomes during a major incident.

Nurses experience psychosocial work stress that may negatively affect physical and mental health over time. In this cross-sectional study we investigated prevalence of job stress and oxidative stress in nurses, and determined if significant relationships exist between higher job stress scores and demographic factors and working conditions. Emergency department nurses (n = 42) were recruited from a University Hospital following Institutional Review Board approval. Job stress indicators, effort–reward ratio and overcommitment were evaluated from survey questionnaires using the effort–reward imbalance model, and associations with age, sex, body mass index, and working conditions were measured by logistic regression analysis. Oxidative stress biomarkers, 8-isoprostane, malondialdehyde, and antioxidant levels were measured from urine specimens. Job stress was prevalent with effort–reward ratio > 1 in 93% and overcommitment > 50 in 83% of the study participants. Age, body mass index, years of experience, weekend work, work hours per week, and shift work showed strong associations with effort–reward ratio and overcommitment scores. Malondialdehyde was higher in participants with high overcommitment. We report that psychosocial job stress is prevalent among nurses, as revealed by the high effort–reward and overcommitment scores. Job stress may be reduced through implementation of appropriate stress reduction interventions.

Sepsis Screening

Abstract Background: Current sepsis screening tools rely predominantly on vital signs. Since patients with serious infections frequently present with normal vital signs there is a need for other variables to be included to detect sepsis. As a first step, it is essential to understand the clinical presentation of septic patients. The aim was to compare the prevalence of keywords reflecting the clinical presentation of sepsis and mode of arrival, among septic patients presenting to the emergency department. Methods: Retrospective cross-sectional study of 479 adult septic patients. Keywords reflecting sepsis presentation upon emergency department arrival were quantified and analyzed based on mode of arrival, i.e. by emergency medical services or by other means. We adjusted for multiple comparisons by applying Bonferroni-adjusted significance levels for all comparisons. Adjustments for age, gender and sepsis severity were performed by stratification. All patients were admitted to the emergency department of Södersjukhuset, Stockholm, and discharged with an ICD-10 code compatible with sepsis between January 1stand December 31st, 2013. Results: “Abnormal breathing” (51.8% vs 20.5%, p-value <0.001), “abnormal circulation” (38.4% vs 21.3%, p-value <0.001), “acute altered mental status” (31.1% vs 13.1%, p-value <0.001) and “decreased mobility” (26.1% vs 10.7%, p-value <0.001) were more common among patients arriving by emergency medical services, while “pain” (71.3% vs 40.1%, p-value <0.001) and “risk factors for sepsis” (50.8% vs 30.8%, p-value <0.001) were more common among patients arriving by other means.Conclusions: The distribution of most keywords related to sepsis presentation was similar irrespective of mode of arrival, however, some differences were present. This information may be useful in clinical decision tools or sepsis screening tools.
