The purpose of this study was to investigate nursing students’ disaster experience, perception and stress. Data were collected from 374 nursing students from three nursing colleges in Seoul with self- reported questionnaires. Analysis was performed by descriptive statistics and t-test. The average score of disaster perception was 3.2 out of 5 points, while disaster stress was 5.7 out of 10 points. There was a significant difference in disaster stress with disaster experience. In conclusion, a program is needed to educate nursing students about management of disaster stress. It is also recommended to establish a curriculum which provides opportunities to learn internationally standardized essential disaster nursing tasks.
