Factors Influencing Older People's Disaster Preparedness Capacity: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in International journal of older people 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
introductionAlthough disaster preparedness is an important issue for older people as disasters can affect their health, daily functioning and access to support, factors influencing their disaster preparedness capacity have not been comprehensively reviewed. Accordingly, we aimed to systematically review these factors.
methodsThis review adhered to the PRISMA 2020 guidelines and focused on quantitative research that examined factors influencing older people's disaster preparedness capacity. We conducted a comprehensive search of PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus and MEDLINE and identified 11 studies published up to September 2025 that met the inclusion criteria for final analysis.
resultsIndividual, social and environmental factors were associated with older people's disaster preparedness capacity. Individual factors included demographic characteristics (age, education, income), health-related factors (health status, cognitive function) and psychological factors (self-efficacy, risk perception, prior disaster experience). Social factors included living arrangements, family discussions, community involvement and trust in local authorities and the media. Environmental factors included neighbourhood walkability, housing safety and access to information.
conclusionOlder people's disaster preparedness capacity is influenced not only by individual functional and psychological conditions but also by social relationships and environmental conditions. A comprehensive nursing approach is needed to strengthen older people's disaster preparedness capacity by addressing individual capacities, as well as social and environmental factors. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Nurses should consider older people's health, cognitive and functional needs, social support, home environment, and access to information when helping them prepare for disasters. Education should be tailored to each person's circumstances and, where appropriate, involve family members and community services. REGISTRATION NUMBER: PROSPERO: CRD420251148721.
