Analysis of the emergency response capacity of nursing staff for public health emergencies and the influencing factors: A cross-sectional study in China.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundThe frequent occurrence of public health emergencies poses a serious challenge to the emergency response capacity of Chinese nurses. However, nurses still suffer from insufficient emergency response knowledge and unskilled skills. An in-depth understanding of the risk factors affecting the emergency response capacity of nursing staff is needed to promote the overall improvement of the emergency response capacity of the healthcare system.
aimsTo investigate the current situation and influencing factors of nursing staff's emergency response capacity for public health emergencies, and to provide a reference for the design of a standardized emergency response process, targeted training courses and revision of emergency plans.
methodsA descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted from March to April 2024, using a self-designed general information questionnaire and a public health emergency response capacity scale for nursing staff. A survey was carried out among 4,680 nursing staff from secondary and above general hospitals in the Xinjiang region of China. Univariate analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were used to explore the influencing factors of nursing staff's emergency response capacity for public health emergencies.
resultsA total of 4292 valid questionnaires were collected. The average score on the emergency response capacity scale was 160.42 ± 24.22, with a mean item score of 4.01 ± 0.61. Multiple linear regression showed that sex, work experience, job title, position, rescue experience, emergency drill experience, presence of anxiety or fear, and willingness to rescue were the factors influencing the emergency response capacity of nursing staff for public health emergencies.
conclusionsNursing staff in Xinjiang have the ability to deal with public health emergencies, but they still need to accumulate practical experience. Hospital administrators should improve the emergency response ability of nursing staff to address public health emergencies through a tiered training and assessment mechanism.
