Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the international research trends of bioterrorism related research among nurses.
Methods: Using the scoping review method, a search was done at Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, and CHINAHL from 2001 to 2019. Finally, based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, 23 studies were analyzed according to general characteristics, key variables, instruments, and key findings.
Results: Most studies were designed using quantitative methods (69.6%) and the majority of studies (47.4%) were conducted for nurse generalists regardless of their practice area (47.4%). The main variables used in the studies were objective knowledge, perceived preparedness and willingness to respond. However, there were few studies that used tools with guaranteed reliability and validity to measure variables. The level of nurses’ knowledge, willingness to respond and perceived preparedness to bioterrorism were low, and in particular, the will to response to infectious diseases was confirmed as a central concept among other variables. The education program related to bioterrorism had a positive effect on the key variables reinforcement.
Conclusion: The study on bioterrorism for general nurses needs to be explored. Further research should be activated by exploring new research strategies such as tool development, qualitative research, and predictive model construction.
