Abstract

Nurses play such a significant role in disaster response, assessing their understanding of common disaster patterns is essential. This study looked into disaster nursing research as well as the models that were used. It offers a thorough examination of the many catastrophe nursing models accessible. The number of disaster nursing healthcare practice is continuously increasing. Conducting scientific study in this area, on the other hand, is both ethically and practically complex and challenging. As a result, it's not surprising that collecting scientific data during disasters isn't often a top priority for first responders. The majority of research on disaster health planning, response, and recovery is descriptive of the circumstances before or after the disaster. To achieve evidence based practice, disaster healthcare practitioners must seek innovative techniques to comprehend the health aspects of a disaster and to evaluate their practice, both in real time and retrospectively, both during and after the relief phase. Of course, some disaster related concerns can only be researched at specific times, such as posttraumatic mental health disorders and individual and community responses to disasters. There is a significant opportunity and demand for research that contributes to the science of disaster health care and supports how we plan for and respond to catastrophe related health issues. The aim is to create research methods that produce reliable results and allow us to compare findings across studies, events, and societies in order to increase the quality of evidence that supports our practice.
