NRS 428 Discussion  Nursing Interventions Related to Disaster

Topic 5 DQ 2

Description:

Watch the “Diary of Medical Mission Trip” videos dealing with the catastrophic earthquake in Haiti in 2010. Reflect on this natural disaster by answering the following questions:

1. Propose one example of a nursing intervention related to the disaster from each of the following levels: primary prevention, secondary prevention, and tertiary prevention. Provide innovative examples that have not been discussed by previous students.
2. Under which phase of the disaster do the three proposed interventions fall? Explain why you chose that phase.
3. With what people or agencies would you work in facilitating the proposed interventions and why?

Description:

The RN to BSN program at Grand Canyon University meets the requirements for clinical competencies as defined by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), using nontraditional experiences for practicing nurses. These experiences come in the form of direct and indirect care experiences in which licensed nursing students engage in learning within the context of their hospital organization, specific care discipline, and local communities.

Nursing interventions at all levels were crucial in addressing the urgent and long-term healthcare needs of the impacted people in the wake of the devastating Haiti earthquake in 2010. Preparation, training, and damage mitigation related to catastrophes take place during the before impact period . By building the framework for a planned and effective catastrophe response, interventions can be most beneficial during the “before-impact” phase (Falkner, 2018).

Community members’ training in disaster response had a key impact at the primary preventative level. Public awareness of basic first aid, search and rescue methods, and disaster readiness improved the population’s capacity to react. A concentrated approach to care was also made sure by designating specific facilities for housing and supervising the affected people.

Efforts at secondary prevention would involve reducing the impact of infections and injuries brought on by the earthquake. Diseases and injuries should be quickly identified and treated in order to prevent further development or recurrence. One example would be using medicines to stop the progression of wounds along with proper clean and sterile wound care.

Last but not least, the Tertiary Prevention period includes both bodily and emotional rehabilitation. Here, nurses offer rehabilitation and psycho-social support. People who experience the long-lasting effects of the earthquake could struggle with their wounds or disabilities. Together with therapists and social workers, nurses provide crucial services like physical therapy, wound care, and even trauma counseling. In a bid to grant patients’ lifestyles a sense of regularity and as much autonomy as feasible, they make a concerted effort to support in their rehabilitation into their communities.

 

Under which phase of the disaster do the three proposed interventions fall?
Earthquake Preparation Community Education; a component of the Preparedness Phase is this intervention. During this phase, proactive steps are taken to inform and ready communities, institutions, and individuals for future calamities. Increasing resilience and ensuring that the general people is equipped to respond and protect itself in the case of a disaster are the main goals (Yu, et.al, 2018).

Then, of course, the goal of rehabilitation and psycho-social support is to help the affected population reclaim their sense of normalcy. Priorities throughout this phase’s actions include the restoration of lost services, the physical and psychological rehabilitation of those affected, and long-term catastrophe resilience.

 

I would seek to work with the American Red Cross due to their long established history and expertise in managing crises in a fashion that continues to inspire many volunteers. Such expertise has been demonstrated from the first two World Wars, to the most recent catastrophe in the Sudan. One must not gamble by joining organizations with a less than clear history.

 

Which organization do you find most competent in handling tough situations?
