A scoping review of post-earthquake burnout of doctors/nurses and gaps in preventive and GIS-supported interventions: case of Türkiye and Syria.
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
backgroundDisasters like earthquakes severely affect healthcare systems and personnel. While outcomes of psychological burdens, including burnout, secondary traumatic stress, and emotional exhaustion of healthcare workers are well documented, less research is known about the availability and effectiveness of structured preventive and early intervention (PEI) strategies, particularly those supported by system-level or data-driven approaches, like Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
methodsBased on a systematic search of major data bases, this study reviews 35 years of literature (1990–2024) on post-earthquake burnout among doctors and nurses in Türkiye and Syria, with a focus on identifying the extent to which PEI models—especially those incorporating Geographic Information Systems (GIS) or similar tools—have been developed or evaluated. Eligible studies were screened and analyzed using an inductive thematic approach.
resultsOur review confirmed elevated burnout and psychological distress among healthcare workers following earthquakes (natural disasters), with nurses often experiencing disproportionately higher levels of emotional exhaustion. However, the literature also revealed a limited presence of structured PEI models and an almost complete absence of GIS-supported or system-level intervention frameworks.
conclusionOur findings show a critical gap between the documented burden of post-disaster burnout and the limited development of structured intervention models. The near absence of GIS-informed or system-level approaches in the reviewed literature suggests a critical gap and an important direction/opportunity for future research and public health practice, particularly in disaster-prone regions.
