Literature review – how performed - n.a..Evaluation of ontology with focus group:First the facilitator presented an overview of DO4MG ontology to theparticipants. Then he showed them every main concept of the ontology and its subclasses and collected feedback. Every ontology concept, its subclasses, and the relationships between them were discussed and suggested changes were recorded. This included deletion of some concepts and addition of new concepts.

Through the control room, one of two trainer nurses (JH, ES) rated trainees’ technical skill using ICATS-N. (For practical reasons (ongoing clinical commitment), it was not possible to have both trainers rating the trainees simultaneously, which precludes any analysis of interrater reliability.) On completion of the procedure, trainees also completed ICATS-N to rate their own performance and received feedback on their performance from the trainer.

Twenty trainee OR nurses and two senior OR trainer nurses took part in the studyOn completion of the procedure, trainees also completed ICATS-N to rate their own performance and received feedback on their performance from thetrainer.

Two hundred nurses were invited to participate in the study, with 170 responses (105 hospital nurses and 65 community nurses) or an 85% response rate, during the months of April 2014 through July 2014. Data collection was based on interviews using a standardized instrument, the Disaster Preparedness Questionnaire. Descriptive statistics such as frequencies, means, percentages, and standard deviations were utilized to quantify the responses.Self-report questionnaires consisted of two parts: (a) demographic information and (b) the Disaster Preparedness Questionnaire.

Simulation

Multiple informants were interviewed to generate different perspectives on strategic decision-making to ensure the findings were objective.Interviews were designed to yield two complementary types of information: (1) a description of the managers own understanding of shock events impacting the airport and (2) contextual details concerning strategic decision making before and after the shock event.

The methodology is supported by the OSIRIS software, prototyped during the FP5 eponymous project and later distributed by CETMEF and the French basin authorities of Loire and Meuse. The methodology for the preparation of evacuation planswas applied on a pilot city of Theseus, Bordeaux on the estuary of Gironde (France), and the software used to calculate evacuation timeswas tried out on Cesenatico near the Adriatic coast (Italy).Data needed to apply them was queried either from national databases or from on-site interviews with citizens and local authorities.

Data were collected by a series of semi-structured interviews conducted by the author (AN Nasrabadi). Permission for taperecording the interviews were obtained from each participant. The interviews lasted from 45 to 90 min. An interview guide was used and this helped to focus the interview. The interview guide was constructed according to the fundamental questions of interest for the study. At the end of each interview session, the researcher asked the participants to talk about anything they considered important in the earthquake situation. This could involve their personal experiences of the disaster or any additional comments about their experiences as a disaster nurse in Bam.
