Why is it important?

The study found four themes of Islamic nurses’ competencies in disaster response: 1) perception about the disaster is influenced by religiosity, belief, and values, 2) communication skills, 3) nurses’ roles in disaster response consisted of disaster competencies (the use of Islamic values in managing patients’ conditions, and family engagement, 4) competency barriers consisted of inadequate training, insufficient Islamic-based services, and inadequate involvement of policymakers. The religiosity, values, and beliefs could be influenced the Islamic-based nurses' competencies to solve the patients' problem.

Perspectives

I hope this article may useful to the Muslim countries to integrate nurses' competencies in their practices in dealing with patients' problems related to disasters impact.
