Status and influencing factors of clinical nurses' disaster nursing competency: a multicenter cross-sectional study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesThis study aimed to assess the competency of clinical nurses in disaster nursing in Jiangsu Province, China.
backgroundClinical nurses represent the largest proportion of the healthcare workforce and often serve as the primary responders in disaster management. Their competencies in disaster nursing play a pivotal role in ensuring the quality and accuracy of disaster-related care. However, evidence regarding the disaster nursing competency of clinical nurses remains limited. Therefore, this study aims to assess the current status of clinical nurses' disaster nursing competencies and analyze the factors influencing it to provide actionable strategies to enhance their disaster nursing competence.
methodsThis was a cross-sectional study, which used a convenience sampling method to recruit clinical nurses from 121 hospitals in Jiangsu Province, China. Data were collected using a sociodemographic questionnaire and a nurse's disaster nursing competencies evaluation tool. Descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multiple stepwise regression analysis were used to exploring factors influencing clinical nurses' disaster nursing competencies.
resultsIn total, 1073 participants completed the survey. The mean total disaster nursing competency score for clinical nurses was 221.41 ± 38.62 out of 275. Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that professional titles, adaptability of existing knowledge and skills to disaster scenarios, prior disaster nursing training, and participation in disaster rescue and emergency drills significantly influenced the disaster nursing competency of the clinical nurses (F = 50.626, p<0.001, R
conclusionsClinical nurses in China need more disaster nursing education, especially in the areas of prevention and preparedness. In addition, focusing on developing the practical skills of clinical nurses in disaster relief, developing a more systematic disaster education and training programme, and conducting regular disaster training and emergency drills for nurses at different levels should be considered as novel ways to improve the disaster nursing competency of clinical nurses in China.
