Resilience and sense of agency among healthcare professionals during crisis
Background and objectives Healthcare professionals (HCPs) are central to emergency response, and their effectiveness depends not only on clinical expertise but also on psychological resources. Strengthening these resources may sustain workforce capacity and safeguard care under crisis conditions. This study examined the contribution of psychological capital—particularly resilience—to perceived agency among Israeli HCPs during mass casualty incide…
Evaluating the operational effectiveness of Emergency Medical Team field hospitals
As the frequency and complexity of disasters increase, Emergency Medical Teams (EMTs) and their field hospitals have become essential to delivering medical care in crisis settings. Despite their critical role, no validated tool currently exists to evaluate EMT field hospital performance in real time. To develop, validate, and pilot a real-time evaluation tool to assess the operational effectiveness of EMT field hospitals. A mixed-methods approach…
Bridging gaps in Emergency Medical Team (EMT) capacity strengthening activities in the WHO European region
The association between type of exposure to the threat of terrorism and resilience in communal villages in Israel
Innovate for Impact
Anthropogenic climate change is a significant driver of disasters, such as tropical storms, floods, drought and loss of biodiversity, amplifying their frequency and severity worldwide. The annual incidence of extreme weather-related events increases with growing human exposure to risks. The Sendai Framework and its associated Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) recognise the interlinkages between disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptatio…
Severe trauma in Germany and Israel
Background: Trauma registries are a crucial component of trauma systems, as they could be utilized to perform a benchmarking of quality of care and enable research in a critical but important area of health care. The aim of this study is to compare the performance of two national trauma systems: Germany (TraumaRegister DGU®, TR-DGU) and Israel (Israeli National Trauma Registry, INTR). Methods: The present study was a retrospective analysis of dat…
Enhancing disaster response of emergency medical teams through “Teams 3.0” training package—Does the multidisciplinary intervention make a difference
Background In the aftermath of disasters, Emergency Medical Teams (EMTs) are dispatched to help local rescue efforts. Although EMTs are recognized to be a critical component of the global health workforce, concerns have emerged over their functioning and effectiveness. For example, lack of cooperation and coordination between different EMTs has been a longstanding issue, resulting in fragmented disaster management. Methods To enhance the provisio…

Agencies Displayed by Patients, Medical Teams, and Caregivers at the End of Life from the Perspectives of Family Members – A Qualitative Study
Background: End-of-life (EoL) Care is challenging for terminally-ill patients and their caregivers. This research is aimed to examine the relational agencies of the patients, the caregivers, and the medical teams in the context of EoL care, with a particular emphasis on the caregivers. Methods: This study is based on the qualitative analysis of interviews with 12 individuals who were closely supported a loved one to their death from a terminal il…
Risk Perception of Natural and Human-Made Disasters—Cross Sectional Study in Eight Countries in Europe and Beyond
Each year, emergency and disaster situations claim a heavy toll in human lives and economic loss. Civilian populations that are more aware and prepared for emergencies are more resilient. The aim of this study was to explore similarities and differences in risk perception of emergencies and disasters across different societies and its association with individual resilience. A cross sectional study that explored attitudinal factors, as expressed b…
Understanding Societal Resilience—Cross-Sectional Study in Eight Countries
Civilian populations that are more prepared for emergencies are more resilient. Ample research has been carried out over the last three decades to identify the factors that contribute to public readiness to emergencies and disasters and enhance societal resilience. However, the analysis did not achieve an in-depth comprehension of the types of contributing factors, namely, contextual vs. target aspects. A cross-sectional study that explored attit…
The Feedback Form and Its Role in Improving the Quality of Trauma Care
Background : One of the tasks of a level I trauma center is quality improvement of level II and level III regional hospitals and emergency medical services by means of continuous education and learning processes. One of the tools for this, which provides constant monitoring of the quality of treatment, is feedback. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effect of feedback on the quality of trauma care. Methods : Retrospective cohort study c…
Lockdown Efficacy in Controlling the Spread of Covid-19 May Be Waning Due to Decline in Public Compliance, Especially among Unvaccinated Individuals
Public compliance is paramount for the success of public health measures and decision making, such as lockdowns, in controlling the spread of diseases. The aim of this population-based cross-sectional study was to investigate the level of reported compliance with home isolation among the adult Israeli population ( n = 940) during the first three national lockdowns, compliance with a potential fourth national lockdown if enacted, risk perception o…
The Covid-19 pandemic challenge to the All-Hazards Approach for disaster planning
The Effect of Risk Communication on Public Behavior to Non-Conventional Terrorism—Randomized Control Trial
Non-conventional terrorism (NCT) incorporates an extended dimension of uncertainty that can lead to fear among the public. Health officials have an unsubstantiated assumption that thousands will seek treatment in hospitals following NCT. This study aims to examine public behavioral intentions in the case of NCT and the effect of risk communication on intents. An online randomized controlled trial was conducted among 1802 adult participants in Isr…
Self-Isolation Compliance In The Covid-19 Era Influenced By Compensation: Findings From A Recent Survey In Israel
To contain the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, health and government authorities have imposed sweeping self-quarantine orders for communities worldwide. Health officials assume that the public will have high rates of compliance. However, studies suggest that a major obstacle to compliance for household quarantine is concern about loss of income. A cross-sectional study of the adult population of Israel was conducted in the last wee…

Impact of Stressful Events on Motivations, Self-Efficacy, and Development of Post-Traumatic Symptoms among Youth Volunteers in Emergency Medical Services
During the last decades, Israeli emergency medical services (EMS) personnel has been exposed to different potentially traumatic events, including mass terror attacks. The aims of the present study were to identify how potentially traumatic events affect young volunteers in their motivation to volunteer and their perceived self-efficacy while being at risk of developing post-traumatic symptoms. The final sample included 236 Magen David Adom (MDA, …
