Identifying the Key Factors Influencing Risk Perception Among Healthcare Workers in the Context of Disasters; A Systematic Review.
Review in Archives of academic emergency medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: Risk perception is a cognitive, multidimensional process through which individuals identify and assess potential threats. This study aimed to systematically review the recent research to identify the key factors influencing the risk perception within healthcare workers operating in critical and disaster scenarios. Methods: This study was conducted as a systematic review in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. A search was performed for articles published between January 2014 and July 2025 in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases. Of the 2,154 initial articles, 10 eligible studies were included in the analysis following screening and quality assessment. Quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods studies addressing factors influencing healthcare workers' risk perception during disasters were selected, and the data were coded and categorized using thematic analysis. Results: The analysis of the 10 selected studies identified a central theme titled "Factors Influencing Risk Perception," which was further divided into five key domains: 1) Demographic and individual factors, 2) Experience and exposure to risk, 3) Knowledge resources and information capital, 4) Cognitive-emotional attitudes and beliefs, and 5) Protective behaviors and measures. Conclusion: This review demonstrates that healthcare workers' risk perception during disasters is a multifaceted phenomenon shaped by the interaction of individual, experiential, knowledge-based, emotional, and behavioral factors. Understanding these dimensions is crucial for explaining responses and designing interventions to enhance resilience and preparedness among healthcare workers. Based on the conceptual framework, it is recommended that educational programs and organizational policies consider demographic differences, experiences, and the psychosocial needs of staff.
