Evaluation of earthquake literacy levels of the active and future health workforce in Türkiye: a post-disaster analysis.
Article in BMC public health, 2026. 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
The sustainability of the healthcare system in the face of the devastating effects of earthquakes is directly dependent on the earthquake literacy levels of healthcare professionals who play critical roles in times of crisis. This study was conducted with 525 participants in order to evaluate the earthquake literacy levels of healthcare professionals in Turkey in terms of knowledge, attitude and behavior dimensions and to examine the relationship with various variables. In the study, designed with the descriptive survey model, which is one of the quantitative research methods, data were collected using the “Earthquake Literacy Scale”; t-test and ANOVA were used in the analyses. Research findings revealed that the general earthquake literacy level of the participants was high; competence increased in the participation and responsibility dimensions, but the behavioral dimension remained weak compared to other dimensions. Especially the low rates of “preparing a disaster bag” and “creating a family disaster plan” show that despite their high cognitive awareness, healthcare professionals experience a deficiency in transforming this knowledge into concrete preparedness behaviors. Analyses show that knowing the institutional disaster plan, having command of assembly areas and experiencing the loss of a loved one have a positive and significant effect on the literacy level; No statistically significant difference was found in the variables of gender and past earthquake experience. Consequently, to increase the disaster resilience of health professionals, practical training and simulation-based behavioral development strategies integrated into undergraduate curricula are needed rather than simply transferring theoretical knowledge.
