Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess school health teachers' awareness of the severity of natural disasters and nursing core competencies related to disasters. Methods: This cross-sectional study asked 119 school health teachers to complete structured questionnaires sent by email and mobile phones from Feb to Aug, 2017. Data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA and multiple regression analysis with SPSS 21.0 statistical program. Results: The predictor that had a significant effect on school health teachers' core competency was the experience with natural disaster safety education. Its explanatory power was 14.3%. Conclusion: The finding of this study suggests a strong need for the implementation of disaster-related education targeting school health teachers in order to improve their disaster management ability.
