The experiences of nurses working in an earthquake region and the effect of these experiences on their professional approaches: 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. 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
backroundThe aim of this study was to examine the effect of nurses’ experiences on their professional approaches during the earthquake in Turkey, which was called the disaster of the century.
methodsPhenomenological research, a qualitative research design, was applied in this study. This qualitative study included 42 volunteer nurses. In this study, focus group interviews were conducted using a semi-structured questionnaire and nurses’ feelings about their disaster experiences were evaluated. Interviews were conducted using face-to-face interview technique. Braun and Clarke’s phenomenological analysis method was used to analyze the data.
resultsThe themes obtained from the analysis of the data were as follows: Negative feelings towards what was encountered in the earthquake zone (Sadness, helplessness, fear, disorder, confusion, hopelessness); positive feelings due to being in the earthquake zone to help (Volunteerism, feeling proud/helpful); Ensuring professional unity (Effort to fulfill the profession despite the scarce materials and conditions, realizing the sanctity of the profession, increasing commitment to the profession and loving the profession more).
conclusionsThis study determined that nurses working in earthquake zones experienced an increase in their sense of the sanctity of their profession, compassion, and commitment to professional discipline, and that these were important factors that improved their professional performance and strengthened their commitment to their profession. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
