InTrodUcTIon: Core competencies required for a nurse to be ready for disaster response. The gaps in education make it difficult to recruit nurses prepared to respond to a disaster. The aim of this study was to design a disaster preparedness training program and examine its impact on the level of competence of nursing students. MATerIAL And MeTHods: A quasi-experimental design was used for 50 nursing students in semester 8 ran domly assigned to the experimental and the control groups. A disaster educational program for nursing students was developed based on Harden’s model. First need assessment was done and then the goals of the program were determined in the next stage, the educational content was organized based on the priorities of the students and teacher recommendations. In the next stage, the program was implemented and finally, the evaluation was carried out. resULTs: The mean age of the participant was 21.4 ± 2.14 and 57.1% of them were women. Compared with the control group, the experimental group showed a significant increase in disaster nursing competency after intervention (t = 12.37, p < 0.001). concLUsIons: This study provides evidence of the need and potential positive impact of disaster education opportunities for nurses.

InTrodUcTIon: Due to their occupational responsibilities and volatile work environment, paramedics are in constant contact with harmful, dangerous factors, making them vulnerable to a number of occupational health risks. These include harmful biological, chemical, physical, as well as psychophysical factors (musculo-skeletal system strain, stress, patient aggression, occupational burnout). The present study aims to evaluate occupational hazard prevalence among emergency medical service (EMS) paramedics, the possibility of occupational illness incidence, and related prophylaxis. MATerIAL And MeTHods: The participant sample consisted of paramedics employed in five mobile EMS oper ational areas in the Masovian voivodship. The study involved 238 people, including 223 men and 15 women. The mean age was 39.03 ± 9.27 years for males, and 31.93 ± 7.76 years for females. The study took place between May and September 2019 using diagnostic survey methodology. resULTs: Participants ordered the following factors based on a scale of threat: biological factors (47%), psychophysical factors (41%), chemical factors (7%), and physical factors (5%). Health issues included musculoskeletal system discomfort (39%) and mental overload (33%). Participants indicated harmful biological factors to cause illnesses such as influenza (85%), tuberculosis (79%), and hepatitis B or C (70%). The study showed that 73% of the participants are occupationally exposed to patient aggression, while 15% experienced occupational burnout. concLUsIons: Paramedics are exposed to a number of occupational hazards daily. The ones most significant in terms of serious disease development are harmful biological factors, musculoskeletal risk factors, fatigue, mental overload related to occupational responsibilities.

INTRODUCTION: The mass gathering events are becoming a big source of concern among public health practitioners. These events can affect a population’s health in different ways. The study aimed to identify mechanisms associated with morbidity and mortality in mass gathering (MGs) events. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is a qualitative study that was conducted under a phenomenological ap proach. The study population included 21 people who were hospitalized due to injuries in the mass gathe rings. Data collection was conducted through semistructured and indepth interviews. RESULTS: A total number of 21 interviews were conducted in this study. Participants included 17 males and four females. Thematic analysis was used to identify 21 different themes and the themes were classified into five main areas. These five areas include Individuals’ unpreparedness, unprepared relief organizations, lack of proper response plans, and risky behavior and psychological reactions. CONCLUSIONS: The lived experiences of MGs victims showed that they need to be better educated at the community level about the potential MGs’ health risks. One of the most effective measures to reduce mor tality in the MGs is risk governance. Risk governance must be a national policy and priority at the time of holding large gatherings.
