BACKGROUND: Disasters have a direct impact on the community, and nurses are the
first health professionals to interact with people affected by disasters. So, the
most common challenge faced by nurses is inadequate levels of preparedness, and
equipping nursing students with disaster response skills is crucial. This study
was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the Jennings disaster management
model on nursing students? knowledge and self-efficacy.. METHOD: This study used
a convenience sample method and a quasi-experimental one-group pre-post-test
study research design to conduct it on 648 nursing students at Port Said
University, Egypt in 2024. The Jennings Disaster Management Model (JDMM), a
structured four-phase approach to disaster preparedness, guided the intervention.
Two tools were used to collect data: the Disaster Management Knowledge
Questionnaire and the Disaster Response Self-Efficacy Scale.. RESULTS:
Post-intervention, the proportion of students with satisfactory disaster
management knowledge rose from 0.8% to 75.0%, reflecting a significant
improvement (p?0.001). Mean self-efficacy scores also increased from 60.88
(SD?=?15.12) to 83.27 (SD?=?13.59), (p?0.001). CONCLUSION: Integrating
structured disaster management education into nursing curricula substantially
improves students? preparedness, fostering individual competence and enhancing
community resilience. Future research should examine long-term knowledge
retention and practical application in real-world settings.. SUPPLEMENTARY
