This review maps the current literature on disaster nursing competencies, highlighting essential competencies and interventions while identifying knowledge gaps. New skills, such as family involvement and spiritual care, are emphasised. Psychological knowledge is crucial for addressing psychosocial needs of patients.

Abstract

This review maps the current literature on disaster nursing competencies, highlighting essential competencies and interventions while identifying knowledge gaps. New skills, such as family involvement and spiritual care, are emphasised. Psychological knowledge is crucial for addressing psychosocial needs of patients. Further consensus and integration of these competencies into nursing practice are necessary to improve disaster management and resilience in healthcare systems, aligning with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals.
