Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate nurse leader confidence in emergency management and disaster preparedness.
Background: There is a dearth of evidence in the literature regarding the preparation of nurse leaders to manage emergencies and disasters. Research suggests significant gaps in nurse leader confidence across roles and in structured education that prepares nurse leaders across the spectrum of experience to manage in a crisis.
Methods: An exploratory, cross-sectional survey included a sample of 432 RNs who are members of the Northwest Organization for Nurse Leaders.
Results: Results indicate significant variance in nurse leader confidence across roles, experience, and previous disaster-related education. Positive associations regarding nurse leaders' confidence in managing disasters exist with more advanced positions, advanced education, and structured training.
Conclusions: Nursing leaders lack consistent education that prepares them for emergency and disaster management. Nurse leaders across all levels would benefit from formal education in these areas.
