Enhancing disaster response self-efficacy in red crescent relief workers: an evaluation of a disasters management training program.
Trial report in BMC emergency medicine, 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
backgroundThe self-efficacy of Red Crescent relief workers is crucial for effective disaster management and can have a significant impact on communities affected by disasters. To enhance these competencies, the Disaster Management Training Program (DMTP) was developed. However, there is limited empirical evidence on its effectiveness in improving the disaster response self-efficacy of relief workers. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the DMTP on the self-efficacy of Red Crescent relief workers.
methodsThis quasi-experimental, two-group (intervention and control) pretest-posttest study was conducted on 90 Red Crescent relief workers in Kerman, Iran, in 2025. Participants were randomly assigned to either the intervention group (n = 45) or the control group (n = 45). The intervention consisted of the DMTP, which was delivered over four consecutive days for a total of 16 h. The Disaster Response Self-Efficacy Scale (DRSES) was administered to both groups before and after the intervention. A p-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
resultsAt baseline, there were no significant differences in DRSES scores between the two groups (t=-0.57, p = 0.56). However, after the training, the intervention group showed significant improvements in all dimensions of the DRSES compared to the control group. This included scores for emergency rescue competency (t = 1.99, p < 0.05), psychological competency (t = 2.65, p = 0.01), adaptation competency (t = 2.37, p < 0.02), and the total DRSES score (t = 2.59, p = 0.01).
conclusionsThis study demonstrated that the DMTP effectively increased the disaster response self-efficacy of Red Crescent relief workers. The findings suggest that providing continuous training through active, structured methods like the DMTP is important for enhancing the capabilities of relief workers in the field.
