Disaster literacy and preparedness among nursing students in earthquake-affected Turkey: a cross-sectional 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
aimThis study aims to assess nursing students' natural disaster literacy and disaster preparedness levels and to explore the relationship between these factors.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted in the nursing department of a health sciences faculty at a university located in a province affected by the earthquake in southeastern Türkiye.The sample of the study consisted of 302 students. Data were collected using a demographic characteristics. form, the Natural Disaster Literacy Scale and the Disaster Preparedness Scale.
resultsThe mean total score for the students on the Natural Disaster Literacy Behavior Scale was found to be medium level as 36.54 ± 4.59. The mean total score for the students on the Natural Disaster Literacy Affective Disposition Scale was found to be high level as 47.75 ± 4.22. The mean total score for the students on the Disaster Preparedness Scale was found to be 27.85 ± 3.40. There is no statistically relationship was found between nursing students' Natural Disaster Literacy and Disaster Preparedness.
conclusionsThe conclusion of the study revealed that while students exhibited a moderate level of natural disaster literacy behaviors, their affective tendencies toward natural disaster literacy were high. The students' average total score on the disaster preparedness scale was slightly above the scale's overall mean score. There was no correlation identified between nursing students' knowledge of natural disasters and their level of disaster preparedness. Knowledge and attitude cultivation alone seldom converts into concrete disaster-prevention actions. Going forward, nursing education should build on theoretical coursework by systematically integrating scenario-based simulations, hands-on drills, and interprofessional collaboration. Such measures will progressively strengthen students' practical skills and emergency decision-making abilities, thereby comprehensively enhancing their effectiveness in real-world disaster situations. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
