Midwifery workforce preparedness and competence in disaster situations: a qualitative study.
Article in BMC nursing, 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
objectivesThis study aims to determine the preparedness and competence of midwives before and during disaster situations.
methodsA phenomenological study was conducted with 16 midwives working at a public hospital between January and March 2025. The participants were selected through purposive sampling. The data were collected via a demographic information form and a semi structured interview form through an in-depth interview method. Content analysis was performed on the interview transcripts via the MAXQDA 2020 program.
resultsThree main themes emerged: midwives’ disaster preparedness status, factors influencing their intervention competence during disasters, and recommendations to enhance preparedness and intervention effectiveness.
conclusionThe study acknowledges midwives’ perspectives on their roles in disasters, readiness levels, willingness to volunteer, and institutional support availability. According to the results of the study, the psychological resilience of nurses should be strengthened to increase their preparedness and competence in disasters, undergraduate and graduate-level courses should be given to increase their knowledge and experience, all training given for disasters should be simulation-based and hands-on training, and rotational work assignments should be established in healthcare institutions.
