Disaster Simulation 2
The Nursing Study Program of Universitas ‘Aisyiyah Yogyakarta (UNISA) held an earthquake disaster management simulation involving 232 final year students. This activity aims to improve the technical competence and mental readiness of students in dealing with disaster emergency situations, Saturday (25/01).
This simulation is part of the Disaster Nursing course and is carried out in collaboration with various parties, including the UNISA Center for Women, Family and Disaster Studies (PSPKB), the DIY Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), and the DIY Social Service (TAGANA).
The Dean of UNISA Yogyakarta’s Faculty of Health Sciences, Dr. Rokhana Dewi, SSiT, MPH, opened the event by emphasizing the importance of training for death students in facing disaster challenges.
“This training equips students to become resilient, competent, and responsive health workers,” said Dewi.
Head of the Nursing Study Program at UNISA Yogyakarta, Dr. Sarwinanti, S.Kep., Ns., M.Kep., Sp.Mat., added that this simulation not only trains technical skills, but also builds students’ character to be able to work in teams and make quick decisions under pressure.
The simulation was guided by a team of lecturers who are experts in emergency and disaster management, namely Wawan Febri Ramdani, S.Kep., Ns., M.Kep., Dwi Prihatingsih, S.Kep., Ns., M.Ng., Efi Fibriyanti, S.Kep., Ns., M.NS., as well as Abdul Aziz, Enaryaka and others. They assisted students in a large earthquake scenario that caused infrastructure damage and many casualties.
Students were divided into several teams with their respective roles, such as the Rapid Health Assessment (RHA) Team, Field Hospital Team, Emergency Medical Team (EMT), and Support Team. Each team has a specific task in handling emergency situations, from initial assessment to evacuation of victims.
This simulation is designed with a high level of realism, using properties and medical equipment that resemble real conditions in the field. It aims to provide hands-on experience to students, so that they can feel the pressure and challenges that arise in disaster situations.
Dewi emphasized that this activity is a form of UNISA’s commitment to support government programs in disaster risk reduction. She hopes that this activity can provide direct benefits for students, both during their studies and when they enter the community as health professionals.
