Disaster nursing or nursing in disaster: a case study approach to investigate the future requirements of disaster nursing in Norway.
This PhD study has undertaken a critical evaluation of nurses’ role in disasters and mass casualty events with particular reference to remote community settings. Nurses in particular are important in order to reduce the effect of a disaster on the affected population and growing awareness of disaste...
