A nursing perspective of the financial planning model for disaster preparedness

Abstract

Indonesia tends to be at a high risk of natural disasters, non-natural disasters, and social disasters. To minimize disaster impact, planning and management of finances are crucial. Unfortunately, a nursing study discussing the financial model during a disaster is lacking in the literature. The study aims to develop a financial planning model integrating Muhammadiyah Disaster Management Center in Magelang, Indonesia. An observational approach was involved in the study design. The member of One Muhammadiyah One Response (OMOR) in several districts was engaged. A checklist and closed-ended questions were used for the data collection process. The study established a financial planning model that can be helpful for community nurses working in disaster areas. Further study is required to evaluate the collaboration with other healthcare professionals in disaster preparedness.
