The aim of this investigation was to describe the disaster preparedness concerning hospital staff members in Viborg, Ringkjøbing and Arhus county, and to describe the outcome of the disaster medicine-courses given in the region--in theory as well as practice. In the region a questionnaire was sent to the chief doctor and chief nurse for the involved departments, and a personal questionnaire was sent to all the doctors and nurses in the region, who had participated in one or more courses in disaster medicine during the period 1990-1995. Of the total number of doctors at the involved departments, 7% of the residents, 29% of the senior residents and 56% of the consultants had taken a course in disaster medicine, as had 33% of the nurses. Only 15% had taken more than one course, and as few as 2% had had a follow-up course to the primary one given in the region. Forty-one percent had used their acquired knowledge either in theory or practice: 55% for educational purposes, 11% for disaster planning and 12% for buying equipment for the hospital. In general an easier access to follow-up is desired, and there seems to be a need to give more consideration to the priorities of the individual departments concerning the selection of participants to the courses in disaster medicine.
