After the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi accident, demands regarding nursing staff’s management of nuclear disasters have increased. This study aimed to evaluate a basic training program to teach undergraduate nursing students on how to deal with public anxiety following a nuclear disaster. We analyzed the data of 111 third-year nursing students attending a Japanese university. We set attainment goals in three domains (cognitive, affective, psychomotor) regarding their acquisition of consultation techniques for radiation-related health concerns. We compared pre- and post-class response scores on a knowledge test and calculated word frequencies in health consultation scenarios. The pre-class mean score was 12.2 out of 27 points and the post-class mean score (directly after the course) was 21.0, a significant increase (p < 0.001). The mean level of attainment in each of the three domains increased significantly from pre-test to post-test (p < 0.001). The variety and number of words in the health consultations also increased. Students attained the program goals for radiation-related health concerns in all domains. During disasters, there is a great need for nursing staff to administer physical and mental care to the public. This program was evaluated to be one wherein nursing staff can acquire fundamental knowledge about radiation in a short time.

护理本科课程对辐射相关健康问题管理的培训效果分析—单组实验

在2011年福岛第一核电站事故之后，对护理人员进行核灾难管理的需求增加了。这项研究旨在评估一项基本培训计划，以向护理学专业的本科生教授如何应对核灾难后的公共焦虑症。 我们分析了111所日本大学护理专业三年级学生的数据。我们在三个方面（认知，情感，精神运动）设定了达到目标，这些目标涉及针对与辐射有关的健康问题的咨询技术。我们在一项知识测试中比较了课前和课后的反应分数，并在健康咨询中比较了单词频率。 课前平均分是27分的12.2，课后平均分（刚好在课程结束后）是21.0，显着提高（p <0.001）。从测试前到测试后，这三个领域中每个领域的平均达到水平均显着提高（p <0.001）。卫生咨询中的单词种类和数量也有所增加。 学生在各个领域都达到了与辐射有关的健康问题的计划目标。在灾难期间，非常需要护理人员对公众进行身心保健。该计划被评估为护理人员可以在短时间内获得有关辐射的基础知识的计划。
