Disaster response is an emergency nursing responsibility. However responding to disasters is becoming more hazardous as terrorism, pandemics and chemical industrial accidents challenge the safety of nurse responders and their families. International experience has shown that nurses can become victims of disasters and that fear of contaminating family and friends may prevent nurses from attending work or returning home during a disaster response.
This research contributes to disaster planning by providing insight into the factors that affect the willingness of Australian emergency nurses to respond to disasters. This research will facilitate disaster planning and policy development at national and health agency levels that better supports the personal needs of emergency nurses during disaster response.
