Natural and man-made disasters are severe threats to the life, development, and evolution of human societies. Therefore, providing an effective and appropriate response to reduce the mortality rate, injuries, and disabilities and their consequences is necessary. This would be possible through comprehensive planning based on the continuous risk assessment results, and existing and future capacities. Considering that some incidents require the emergency evacuation of patients from hospital wards, the current study was conducted with the aim of reviewing the emergency evacuation of hospitals in these situations.

This study is a narrative review of literature in which data were extracted from Scopus, PubMed, SID, Science Direct, Magiran and IranMedex databases, and Google Scholar search engine. The keywords “Disaster”, “Hospital”, “Guideline” and “Evacuation “were used in the period from 2000 to 2019 in Persian and English languages.

Events such as earthquakes and man-made hazards such as biological, radiological, nuclear, chemical, and explosive events require the emergency evacuation of patients from hospital wards. Hospitals need instructions on how to perform the emergency evacuation of patients from the wards correctly. Having a response preparedness plan and evacuation drill is critical for healthcare facilities. Discussion and

In planning for unexpected events, the hospital should anticipate the most catastrophic consequences and expand its preparedness strategies in this field. The evacuation program is one of the programs that are highly needed by hospitals and should be included in the hospital’s disaster preparedness.

The emergency department is one of the important departments of hospitals. Due to the large number of patients and to prevent overcrowding in emergencies, a triage plan is usually used. This study aimed to review the common types of pre-hospital and hospital triage.

In this study, articles published from 2000 to 2020 using the keywords Triage, Hospital Triage Training, Emergency Department, Nurse, Pre-hospital Triage, and Hospital Triage in Persian databases of SID, Magiran, IranMedex and Irandoc and English databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, Science Direct and ProQuest were reviewed. The Google Scholar search engine was also searched in English and Persian to increase the richness of the number of retrieved articles.

Based on the search strategy, 60 articles were reviewed, and finally 42 studies were included in the study. Six triage methods for pre-hospital triage (three-level triage system, JUMP START system, SALT, MASS, SIEVE triage, and Pediatric triage tape) and nine triage methods were introduced for hospital triage (Spot check system, Traffic director system, Comprehensive system, Manchester, Australian, Canadian, Emergency Severity Index (ESI), Burn triage, and Military triage). Discussion and

Triage methods vary based on how patients are divided and services are provided. Therefore, to perform the correct triage, it is necessary to teach the correct triage techniques to the nurses.

medication adherence is one of the most critical issues in the physical and mental illness treatment field that has received little attention in Iran. Low adherence to medication leads to poor clinical outcomes in patients and increases mortality and healthcare costs. One of the components that can affect the patient's adherence to medication is the discharge program. The purpose of this article is to review of medication adherence of cardiac patients using the IDEAL discharge model.

This review article, was searched in the databases of the Nursing Index, PsychInfo, Proquest, and Scopus. Articles were searched from 1990 to 2020 using the keywords of medication adherence, patient, discharge model, and IDEAL.

This study reviewed 10 of the 26 articles that met the inclusion criteria. The data indicate a positive and significant relationship between the use of the IDEAL discharge model and the medication adherence of cardiac patients. Discussion and

It is suggested that education and use of the IDEAL discharge model be considered by executive and educational managers in the field of nursing so that in the coming years we will see an increase in patient medication adherence and reduce problems caused by ignoring this importance in society.
