Experiences of wound, ostomy and continence nurses after the earthquake in Türkiye: a phenomenological study.
Article in BMC nursing, 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
backgroundGiven the earthquake-related injuries, particular needs of patients with chronic wounds and ostomy, Wound, Ostomy, and Continence Nurses (WOCNs) who care for disaster victims play critical roles in this extraordinary process.
objectiveTo explore and identify the experiences of the WOCNs who work in the provinces affected by the Kahramanmaraş and Hatay earthquakes in 2023.
methodsThis study is a qualitative research with a phenomenological design. In-depth interviews were conducted with the WOCNs online between October and December 2023. A semi-structured interview form was used in the research. One-to-one interviews were conducted with ten WOCNs in Türkiye. The qualitative interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis. Reporting of the study was used to the COREQ checklist.
resultsAt the end of the study, six themes from the data: "The multidimensional sufferings of earthquake victims", "being an earthquake victim nurse", "the roles and responsibilities of WOCNs", "struggling to maintain care amidst chaos", "nurses' thoughts about the profession in an earthquake", and "lessons learned from the earthquake".
conclusionIt was determined that WOCNs experienced difficulties in continuing patient care after the earthquake disaster and that they made significant contributions to the management of nursing services with their experience and skills. WOCNs highlighted the importance of establishing teams that include WOCNs, increasing the number of WOCNs, ensuring supply chains for ostomy and wound care materials, and providing targeted training for personnel in order to efficiently manage post-earthquake care services. These suggestions indicate potential strategies to strengthen healthcare resilience in disaster contexts.
