Disaster response self-efficacy and disaster preparedness levels of Turkish nurses: A cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC emergency medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
aimThis study was conducted to assess disaster response self-efficacy and disaster preparedness levels of Turkish nurses.
methodsThis is a cross-sectional descriptive study involving a total of 195 nurses in Turkiye. A convenience sampling approach was used to reach nurses and the sampling criteria were full-time employment, being a university graduate, and voluntary participation. The data were collected online via a questionnaire created in Google Forms, using the Sociodemographic Information Form, the Disaster Preparedness Scale, and the Disaster Response Self-Efficacy Scale between September and December 2024.
resultsThe study revealed that nurses' levels of disaster preparedness and disaster response self-efficacy were slightly above the maximum possible mean score. Significant differences were found between disaster preparedness and disaster response self-efficacy levels and factors such as gender, prior experience of a disaster, knowledge of the hospital's emergency assembly area, and awareness of the hospital disaster plan. Furthermore, a moderate positive correlation was identified between disaster preparedness and disaster response self-efficacy levels.
conclusionIt was determined that nurses' levels of disaster preparedness and disaster response self-efficacy were slightly above the maximum possible mean score. In line with these results, it could be suggested that disaster preparedness and self-efficacy in disaster response are associated with factors that enable nurses to intervene more effectively in disaster situations, highlighting the importance of training and awareness programs to ensure that nurses are adequately prepared for disasters.
