Reflective learning experiences of nursing students in a COVID-19 disaster simulation: a qualitative study.
Article in BMC nursing, 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
backgroundThis study examined the reflective learning experiences of nursing students who participated in a COVID-19 disaster simulation to inform the development of a standardized disaster nursing simulation module.
methodsAn exploratory qualitative study used inductive content analysis. Researchers collected data from 78 senior nursing students through reflective journals submitted on an online platform. To ensure trustworthiness, two researchers independently coded the data and reached consensus through iterative discussions.
resultsData from 78 senior nursing students' reflective journals were analyzed using inductive content analysis. Analysis of 235 core statements revealed four main themes and eight sub-themes: (1) Experiencing disaster situations and learning, (2) Gaps in disaster nursing competency, (3) Understanding community resources and nursing roles, and (4) Professional growth and future educational needs. The data also identified specific gaps in crisis leadership and structured communication during the infectious disease simulation.
conclusionsThe results indicate a need for effective hands-on training that supports productive learning while maintaining social distancing. Ongoing development of alternative methods, such as high-fidelity VR, is essential to address clinical gaps and improve future nurses' disaster preparedness and resilience.
