Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop an educational program of disaster nursing on the basis of Kolb’s experiential learning theory. The jigsaw learning method was adopted in the discussion session in order to make students’ views comprehensive, integrated and unified. 32 students of a nurse’s school participated in this action study program. After they learned basic conceptions about triage in disaster situation, they participated in a TT in a hospital, role-playing patients and their families. Two month later, they wrote about their experience and discussed these experiences in two group session. In the first group session, the students of the same role made groups to discuss together, and in the second group session, the students of the different role made groups to discuss together. As the results, it was found that the participants were not only satisfied with the program, but also motivated into learning to be come good nurses, broadened and deepened their understanding of triage in disaster by reflecting their experiences through the group process. The group session was also effective in consoling the stress of the participants who had had negative experiences through role- playing patients of serious illness as they were abandoned in the TT
