Consensus-based Adaptation of the ICN Core Competencies in Disaster Nursing for German-speaking Countries (CORE)

Introduction: In 2019, the International Council of Nurses (ICN) published a revised version of the Core Competencies in Disaster Nursing, followed in 2022 by a supplement for nurses in Medical Emergency Teams. Both publications attracted considerable international attention. In contrast, in German-speaking countries the competency framework has hardly been recognized. A lack of awareness of the role of nurses in disasters and the lack of an adapted German version were identified as the reasons for this.
