摘要：

The events of September 11, 2001, and the 2005 devastation of Hurricane Katrina have emphasized the importance of educating all nurses in emergency preparedness and bioterrorism. Methods: Further evaluation (secondary data analysis) of the Emergency Preparedness Information Questionnaire (EPIQ) was conducted, to assess nurses' familiarity with emergency preparedness. Results: This study confirmed that the EPIQ, as revised, has sound psychometric characteristics (construct validity and internal reliability) as a tool to measure nurses' self-reported level of familiarity with emergency preparedness. Conclusions: Additional studies using the revised EPIQ should provide data to assist civilian and military nurse educators and to facilitate the development of competency-based, relevant, emergency preparedness curricula.
