Results Before training and after the end of training. The core ability of disaster nursing training 6 months after the emergency nurses'scores were 133.33±8.95, 145.80 ±2.98, 136.33±10.90, the difference was statistically significant (F=9.076, P<0.05); disaster nursing core ability score, dimension disaster basic knowledge, nursing care, nursing care of vulnerable groups of disaster management and disaster nursing professional development in the 3 periods of the scores were statistically significant (F=3.579-12.421, P<0.05 or 0.01); gender, whether the emergency specialist nurses in the training before and afterthe end of the training, six months after training the three periods of the score was statistically significant (t=4.488-15.640, P<0.05 or 0.01). The scores of nurses with different working years before training and 6 months after training were statistically significant (F=7.565, 4.278, P<0.01 or 0.05). Conclusions Disaster-related knowledge and skills training can increase the emergency care nurse's disaster management core competencies, but require long-term repetitions to ensure the effectiveness of training.
