Abstract :Earthquakes are frequent natural disasters that can cause significant harm and loss of life. In recent years, there have been numerous major earthquakes worldwide. Nurses are crucial members of disaster response teams during earthquakes, providing vital interventions and basic life support to patients and the injured. This review study aims to help individuals learn the basic life support knowledge and skills necessary to increase survival rates and minimize injuries during natural disasters and emergencies through simulation training. Additionally, it provides an up-to-date approach to evaluating the effectiveness of disaster nurses. Nurses are crucial in promoting health, protecting public health, and providing basic life support to the community during all stages of a disaster, including mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. By doing so, they enhance the safety and resilience of the community. Simulation is an effective training method for teaching basic life support to disaster nurses. It provides opportunities for repeated practice in a safe and educational environment, facilitating different learning strategies.
