Factors associated with death anxiety among nurses working in the earthquake region: a cross-sectional correlational study.
Article in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThis is a descriptive-correlational study and aims to determine the factors associated with death anxiety of nurses in earthquake zones.
methods404 nurses working in 11 earthquake-affected provinces in Türkiye. Data were collected using “Questionnaire on Sociodemographic Characteristics and Earthquake Experience”, Spielberger State and Trait Anxiety Scale (STAI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Spiritual Well-being Scale (SWBS), Thorson Powel’s Revised Death Anxiety Scale (RDAS).
resultsRespectively, the mean scale score of RDAS (62.13 ± 21.030) was above the intermediate level, BDI (17.74 ± 11.328) at moderate level, STAI-S (48.90 ± 10.305) and STAI-T (49.70 ± 8.664) at moderate level. It can be said that SWBS (116.26 ± 13.318) was at a high level. A relationship was found statistically significantly between RDAS and BDI, STAI-S, STAI-T, SWBS sub-dimensions and Transcendence sub-dimension. Model 8, which includes all the independent variables analyzed (gender, having religious belief, STAI-S, STAI-T, Harmony with Nature, and Anomie), explained 33.2% of the variance in death anxiety.
conclusionsBased on these results, developing intervention a program for nurses to cope with fear of death and anxiety was recommended, especially in crisis periods such as earthquakes.
