abstract="INTRODUCTION: As disasters may occur any time, health care staff and institutions should be prepared to manage these events. The aim of study is to analyze the effects of high-fidelity simulation on the perceptions of senior nursing students regarding their preparedness for disasters. <br><br>METHODS: This study used a pretest-posttest design and was conducted as a quasi-experimental investigation. <br><br>RESULTS: Slightly less than the half of the students (42.5%) expressed that they were prepared to face a disaster. There was a statistically significant difference in their scores on the Scale of Perception of Disaster Preparedness among Nurses between the pre-intervention and postdisaster stage (p < 0.05). <br><br>CONCLUSION: Supporting simulation activities with drills positively affected nurses' perceptions of disasters.<br><br>Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Ltd.
