World Society of Disaster Nursing
Establishment of an international society of disaster nursing has been required, to promote international academic exchange and collaborative research,
On Monday, May 12, a major earthquake, measuring 7.9 on the Richter scale, occurred in southwestern China's Sichuan Province. The World Society of Disaster Nursing supports nursing activities with the Research Institute of Nursing Care for People and Community (RINCPC) at University of Hyogo and Japan Society of Disaster Nursing in Japan. RINCPC was designated a World Health Organization Collaborating Centre for Nursing in Disasters and Health Emergency Management (WHO Disaster Nursing Collaborating Centre).
It is possible to see the guidelines of the nursing-care in the time of disaster which were translated by Chinese at this site; http://www.coe-cnas.jp/china/index.html.
The website of Chinese Nursing Association links this website for Chinese nurses to access guideline.
These guidelines were developed based on the experience of the Great Hanshin - Awaji earthquake in 1995 in Japan and results of previous research. This site includes the care guidelines for vulnerable people including elderly, children, pregnant women/child-rearing mothers, cancer patients, patients with chronic disease, mental health care. Nursing care focuses on not only emergency phase but also mid- & long term perspective after disaster.
