災害拠点病院における看護職員の発災時個人備蓄の現状

The actual condition of personal storage by the nursing staff of a disaster base hospital in the event of a natural disaster

要　　旨

【目的】発災時に自己完結型の救護活動が行えるように、災害拠点病院であるA病院に勤務する看護師の個人備蓄の現状を調査し明らかにする。

【方法】A病院で勤務する看護師助産師438名を対象に、備蓄に関する自作のアンケート用紙を作成し調査を実施した。

【結果】職場内での備蓄ありが63％、なしが37％であった。備蓄なしと回答した理由は「必要だと思うが準備できていない」が81％で最多であった。備蓄の想定日数は1日分が最も多く、具体的な内容としては飲料水が82％、食糧品が93％であった。

【結論】備蓄の必要性は理解できているが実際には備蓄できていない事から、「備蓄の必要性についての定期的な周知」「備蓄物品の保管場所の確保」が必要である。備蓄内容や備蓄量は個人の判断に委ねられている現状であるため、「備蓄モデルの作成と検討」の必要性が示唆された。

　Purpose

　To investigate the actual conditions of personal storage by nurses working in hospital A, which is a disaster base hospital. The target is medical staff who perform self-conclusion type relief activities in the event of a natural disaster.

　Method

　We investigated the actual condition of personal storage using a questionnaire we made targeting 438 nurses and nurse midwives working in hospital A.

　Result

　According to the results of the questionnaire, 63% of the staff have their own storage, but 37% don't. The main reason for no storage, which was as high as 81%, is that they are aware of the necessity of storage, but actually don't prepare it. The storage they prepare is mostly assumed to be that for one day, and the actual content consists 82% of water and 93% of food products.

　Conclusion

　Although we understand the necessity of storage, we actually cannot take action to prepare it. It is therefore necessary to regularly announce the necessity of storage and to secure adequate space for stored goods. Since the contents and amount of storage are left to every person's own discretion, it seems that there is a need to create and consider a storage model.
