Abstract :

Natural catastrophes harmed about 2 billion people worldwide between 2008 and 2018. According to the World Health Organization, countries and governments must always have catastrophe preparations and emergency health experts on hand. An integrative literature review was done to investigate nurses’ catastrophe preparedness. Literature published in English since 2000 was searched using MEDLINE (PubMed), Google Scholar, and EMBASE databases. The willingness of nurses to respond to disasters has not been thoroughly examined. The majority of the time, this is not the case. Further research is needed to validate recent study findings and clarify the needs of nurses who respond to disasters and other health emergencies because nurses are vital to disaster response operations.
