Summary: | 碩士 === 臺北醫學大學 === 全球衛生暨發展碩士學位學程 === 106 === Emergency medical systems for mass casualty incidents (EMS-MCIs) is a global issue; however, there is a severe lack of international research, which leads to different countries not being able to meet the requirements of rapid decision-support systems.
When a mass casualty incident (MCI) occurs, hospitals must shift from providing routine healthcare to providing high-quality care to a sudden influx of a significant number of victims. This is accomplished by activating an established Hospital Incident Command System (HICS), which all staff members should be familiar with through prior training.
This study aims to gain an understanding of MCI knowledge, attitude and preparedness of hospital nurses in Taiwan and Japan, which would assist in formulating MCI policy. The researcher hopes to improve MCI rescue efficiency in both countries and to provide them with a possible method of continuing education and some suggestions of policy planning.
