The earthquake that occurred during school hours requires the school community to have a high level of preparedness so as not to fall victim and loss a lot. This activity aims to measure the level of preparedness against the threat of earthquake disasters and provide earthquake disaster preparedness training to the Muhammadiyah Banyuraden Elementary School community. The method used was a survey using a questionnaire, analysis of survey results based on the UNSESCO framework, namely knowledge of earthquake disasters, policies and guidelines, emergency response plans, and resource mobilization. The analysis showed that the community preparedness level of SD Muhammadiyah Banyuraden was at a moderate level with a total preparedness index of 55.8. The lowest preparedness index is in the policy and guideline parameters. The results of the survey and analysis carried out resulted in preparedness strengthening activities carried out to increase the preparedness index, namely the formation of disaster preparedness groups, compiling evacuation route maps, adapting earthquake simulations, training on first aid and evacuation, and simulating earthquake evacuation. The activities to strengthen preparedness have an impact on the preparedness index

New Challenges

Disaster preparedness has taken on new significance in our country since September 11. School nurses, advocates for school safety, must address new challenges in crisis management and emergency response. Our nation’s schools remain relatively safe places, yet well-known events in the last few years dictate the need for movement from attitudes of complacency and denial toward vigilance. Natural disasters, accidents, and violence can threaten the well-being and lives of students and staff, and in a few short minutes a peaceful learning environment can change into one of chaos with multiple casualties. Although schoolwide drills for events such as tornadoes, explosions, and shootings remain imperative, they do little to prepare the school nurse for her role in immediate response. Staging an unannounced mock disaster at a districtwide nurse meeting is one way to ensure a higher level of preparedness. It also acknowledges the legitimate concerns of crisis competency among school nurses who are often and understandably the most trusted first responders to health crises on campus.

The Relationship

Emergency cases and any untoward incidents may happen anytime and anywhere. Thus, first aid is an invaluable skill one must learn. Since children spend considerable time at school, knowledge, and awareness in first aid is important especially in situations requiring the skill. This quantitative inquiry investigated the level of awareness of students in performing basic first aid and explores the relationship to their academic performance. It utilized a researcher-made questionnaire to answer the descriptive and inferential questions. It was revealed that students are in high level in performing first aid in burns, wounds and bleeding, and fracture considering the variables. Thus, a very satisfactory level was culled out. In addition, a significant difference exists in their level of awareness and academic performance of students when grouped according to sex, and section. But, there was a positive significant relationship between the student’s awareness in performing first aid and their academic performance. Therefore, the two major areas have direct relationship. It is recommended that a regular emergency awareness campaign be conducted to students to maintain and improve to a highest level. As such, teachers should be provided with the trends in emergency response to effectively teach the concepts of first aid in high competence.

AbstractThe Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) concept was initially developed for adult members of the community to help prepare for disasters and minimize damage when disasters occur. CERTs also served as a tool for building community capacity and self-sufficiency by supporting a diverse group of people working together in dealing with challenges affecting their communities. The novel approach to CERTs described here sought to involve high-risk youth from low-socioeconomic status communities in CERTs and first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training to help them build ties with communities, stay off the streets, and become leaders in the community. It also helped to provide different perspectives on life, while building more resilient communities better prepared to minimize damage when a disaster strikes. After the successful launch of the first high-risk teen CERT cohort in Watts (27 CERT-trained and 14 first aid/CPR-trained), the project was expanded to other community groups and organizations. Seven additional cohorts underwent CERT and first aid/CPR training in 2013 through 2014. This initiative increased CERT visibility within South Los Angeles. New partnerships were developed between governmental, nongovernmental, and community-based organizations and groups. This model can be used to expand CERT programs to other communities and organizations by involving high-risk teens or other high-risk groups in CERT training.

First Aid Training

Psychological First Aid (PFA) is becoming a universally accepted intervention in providing psychosocial support to individuals and families affected by trauma or disaster.  Our study aimed to measure the effectiveness of a didactic and simulation based Psychological First Aid (PFA) training program in Alberta, Canada.  Social work students, practitioners, and human service professionals from Calgary, Edmonton, and Lethbridge were invited to attend the training.  A total of 90 participants attended the training at three different sites. A pre and post survey questionnaire was administered to all the participants before and after the training.  Findings showed that the training has significantly improved participants’ PFA knowledge and perceived competence in PFA skill.  PFA training enhanced their confidence, disaster preparedness, and self-care strategies needed to provide psychosocial support to individuals and families in disaster situations. Our study provides preliminary evidence supporting the effectiveness of the PFA training program among social work students, practitioners and human service professionals for future disaster preparedness in Alberta, Canada.Keywords: Psychological first aid, social work, disaster preparedness, training, competency, effectiveness, Canada

Abstract Context.—Monitoring customer satisfaction is a valuable component of a laboratory quality improvement program. Objective.—To survey the level of physician satisfaction with hospital clinical laboratory services. Design.—Participating institutions provided demographic and practice information and survey results of physician satisfaction with defined aspects of clinical laboratory services, rated on a scale of 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent). Results.—One hundred thirty-eight institutions participated in this study and submitted a total of 4329 physician surveys. The overall satisfaction score for all institutions ranged from 2.9 to 5.0. The median overall score for all participants was 4.1 (10th percentile, 3.6; 90th percentile, 4.5). Physicians were most satisfied with the quality/reliability of results and staff courtesy, with median values of excellent or good ratings of 89.9%. Of the 5 service categories that received the lowest percentage values of excellent/good ratings (combined scores of 4 and 5), 4 were related to turnaround time for inpatient stat, outpatient stat, routine, and esoteric tests. Surveys from half of the participating laboratories reported that 96% to 100% of physicians would recommend the laboratory to other physicians. The category most frequently selected as the most important category of laboratory services was quality/reliability of results (31.7%). Conclusions.—There continues to be a high level of physician satisfaction and loyalty with clinical laboratory services. Test turnaround times are persistent categories of dissatisfaction and present opportunities for improvement.

Trust In Schools

A suburban elementary school experiences an emergency evacuation. This evacuation event reveals trust and safety concerns. Some parents, staff members, and children express safety concerns, and a key school staff member questions the judgment of another staff member during the emergency event, exacerbating existing tensions between the two. The principal must move the school community forward, while re-establishing trust and addressing safety concerns. Frameworks for repairing trust and trust in schools are considered.
