RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Indonesian nurses receive training for disasters when they take an undergraduate nursing program at the university, but there have been variations in the curriculum. Moreover, there is still limited informal training available specifically for disaster nursing. Therefore, needs assessments are necessary to identify the gap between Indonesian disaster nurses' existing and expected competencies. This study was conducted to identify competencies needed by disaster nurses. METHOD: A descriptive qualitative approach was used in this study. Data were collected from August to September 2019 from three areas in Indonesia: Yogyakarta, Lombok, and Jakarta. These areas frequently experience natural disasters, such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and floods. Thirty-two nurses were interviewed. Data were analyzed with a descriptive qualitative approach. RESULTS: The study highlighted three main competencies needed by Indonesian nurses, which are physical, psychological, and managerial. CONCLUSION: Training for disaster nurses needs to balance the achievement of competencies related to physical, psychological, and managerial needs. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2023;54(8):378-384.].

RESUMEN

El suicidio es una de las emergencias psiquiátricas que requieren atención integral porque los individuos corren el riesgo de ponerse en peligro a sí mismos, a los demás y al entorno. El suicidio en Indonesia está aumentando. Las familias tienen un papel importante en el cuidado de los clientes y la prevención del suicidio, pero las cargas familiares no se han estudiado profundamente. El objetivo del estudio fue obtener una visión general de la experiencia familiar en el cuidado de clientes con riesgo de suicidio. El diseño de la investigación fue cualitativo con un enfoque de fenomenología descriptiva que involucró a seis participantes. Los datos fueron recolectados por entrevista en profundidad y analizados utilizando el método Colaizzi. Los resultados del estudio encontraron cinco temas; los intentos de suicidio son una carga compleja para las familias, los cambios de comportamiento como un signo de suicidio, la preocupación como una forma de apoyo familiar y comunitario, las percepciones familiares sobre las causas y consecuencias del intento de suicidio y las estrategias de supervivencia de las familias superando el impacto del intento de suicidio. Los resultados del estudio recomiendan que la familia como unidad social de prevención del suicidio sea más sensible a los cambios en el comportamiento de clientes y enfermeras, ya que los consejeros pueden proporcionar intervenciones para mejorar el estado de salud mental de los clientes y las familias, como la educación sanitaria. terapia de psicoterapia familiar, manejo del estrés y grupo de autoayuda. La conclusión que puede extraerse de los cinco temas anteriores es que la carga de la familia que brinda cuidados al cliente con el riesgo de suicidio es mayor cuando la familia no puede reconocer los signos de suicidio del cliente, por lo que es necesario un sistema de apoyo. y afrontamiento constructivo

Suicide is one of the psychiatric emergencies that require comprehensive care because individuals are at risk of endangering themselves, others and the surrounding. Suicide in Indonesia is increasing. Families have a major role in caring for clients and preventing suicide but family burdens have not been studied profoundly. The aim of the study was to get an overview of family experience of caring for clients with suicide risk. The research design was qualitative with descriptive phenomenology approach involving six participants. Data was collected by in depth interview and analyzed using Colaizzi method. The results of the study found five themes; suicide attempts is a complex burden for families, behavioral changes as a suicide sign, concern as a form of family and community support, family perceptions about the causes and consequences of attempted suicide and coping strategies of families overcoming the impact of attempted suicide. The results of the study recommend that the family as the front social unit of suicide prevention can be more sensitive to changes in the behavior of clients and nurses as counselors can provide interventions to improve the mental health status of clients and families such as health education, family psycoeducation therapy, stress management and self help group. The conclusion that can be drawn from the five themes above is the burden of the family who provide caring for the client with the risk of suicide is heavier when the family is unable to recognize the client's suicide signs so there is a need for a support system and constructive coping
