Nowadays, humanity encounters the occurrence of numerous diverse , complex and even prolonged natural and manmade d i sas ters tha t are threatening lives of people regardless of their national ity . Nation-based response to disaster is becoming less and less sufficient , suggesting the necessity of innovative interdisciplinary approaches.Up to now, disaster nursing has been restricted to the field of c lass ica l nurs ing educat ion , research and practice. However, the Tohoku/Fukushima disasters in March 2011 brought new

challenges to disaster nursing practice that have not been experienced before. There is an urgent need to develop a disaster response system as we are facing the imminence of the great N a n k a i e a r t h q u a k e w h i c h i s predicted to occur in a near future.To respond to these challenges, the University of Kochi, the University of Hyogo, the Tokyo Medical and Dental University, the Chiba University and the Japanese Red Cross College of Nursing have put their resources and expertise together to launch a new graduate program in disaster nursing.

The philosophy behind this program is to ensure human safety in time of disaster. We aim at creating global l e a d e r s i n t h e fi e l d o f d i s a s t e r nu r s i ng who w i l l c on t r i bu t e t o p r omo t i ng hea l t h and s a f e t y i n disaster -affected societ ies . These future leaders will have needed skills to provide appropriate response and contribute to solving disaster-caused h e a l t h a n d s o c i a l i s s u e s a n d demonstrate leadership in global and i n t e rd i s c i p l i n a ry human i t a r i a n intervention sites.Currently, there are approximately

2 0 0 u n i v e r s i t i e s w i t h n u r s i n g education programs and over 1500,000 nurses working at different medical settings in Japan. As the number of s c h o o l s i n c r e a s e s , we h ave t h e amb i t i o n o f c r e a t i ng a nu r s i ng program that prov ides a qua l i ty education, advance nursing research and practice for graduate nurses to acquire necessary experience and ski l ls to be implemented in their career. It is my utmost and sincere r e q u e s t t h a t y o u s u p p o r t t h i s p r o g r am a n d r e l a t e d r e s e a r c h projects.

Opening ceremony of DNGLProgram took place April 5,2014

Health Emergency and Disaster Nursing

A global journal about Disaster Nursing

HEDNIn order to foster the global reader of Disaster Nursing, building a research community is very important to aggregate information, provide evidence and support the dissemination of research outcomes through the publication of research findings. Thus, we launched the first dedicated, international, peer-reviewed academic Journal, Health Emergency and Disaster Nursing (HEDN). Dr. Barbra Mann Wall is the Editor-in-Chief and the Editorial Board is composed of well-known researchers from North America, South America, Asia, Oceania, Europe, and Japan. This Journal is online based; however, a paper-based version including all the articles published during the year is printed and distributed at the end of each budget year. There are no submission or publication fees associated with this Journal. We welcome all submissions reporting scholarly work on the art and science of Disaster Nursing. The Journal will publish original manuscripts (empirical or qualitative studies, review articles, etc.), editorials, reports on practice at disaster settings, commentaries, image essays and book reviews. Articles will be peer-reviewed by the Editorial Board. Our challenge is to provide high-quality information as soon as possible. The Journal provides learning environments for students of the Disaster Nursing Global Leader Degree Program (DNGL)program, through publication opportunities as well as providing a valuable information resource.

The first entrance ceremony of the Graduate School Disaster Nursing Program̶a joint doctoral program administered by the University of Kochi, the University of Hyogo, Chiba University, and the Japan Red Cross College of Nursing̶was held at 1:30 p.m. on April 5, 2014 (Saturday). The ceremony took place in the Large Lecture Hall of the Common Building at the University of Kochi’s Ike Campus.

Eleven students from five universities were welcomed into the program, which is a joint endeavor among five national, public, and private universities and the first of its kind in Japan.

The ceremony embodied a mixture of sentiments, including a sense of relief among the faculty members, who had overcome a host of challenges in the period leading up to the program’s inauguration; the expectations and anxieties of the 11 students who were about toventure into the unknown; and the weight of responsibility resting on the presidents of the fiveuniversities and the faculty members involved in the program.
