Abstract

Aim and Background: In contemporary healthcare, the crucial importance of disaster preparedness and response within the nursing profession has gained recognition. Considering the elevated probability of encountering numerous disasters in Türkiye, it is noteworthy that limited research has been conducted in this domain. This study, therefore, aims to investigate the related factors to nurses’ disaster preparedness Türkiye through a meta-analysis method. Methods: The study was conducted based on PRISMA guidelines. We searched the national databases in Türkiye and Web of Science Core Collection. Descriptive studies published in Turkish or English between 01.01.2000-31.12.2021 in Türkiye were included in the study to derive the pooled outputs. Results: A total of nine studies, encompassing a sample size of 3222 nurses, met the inclusion criteria. The meta-analysis’ results revealed that gender and prior experience with disasters did not exhibit a statistically significant impact on nurses’ disaster preparedness (p>0.05). Conversely, engaging in disaster education programs, familiarizing oneself with disaster plans, and actively participating in disaster drills were found to have a significant positive effect on nurses’ preparedness for disasters (p<0.05). However, it is worth noting that the analysis of disaster experience exhibited substantial heterogeneity (I2=85.6%), indicating variations among the included studies. Similarly, the analysis related to reading disaster plans also demonstrated high heterogeneity (I2=77.7%). Conclusion: Based on the available evidence from the meta-analysis, it can be concluded that receiving disaster education, reading disaster plans, and participating in disaster drills have a positive and significant impact on nurses’ perception of disaster preparedness.

调查影响土耳其护士备灾观念的因素：一种 Meta 分析方法

目的和背景：在当代医疗保健领域，护理专业的备灾和应灾工作的极端重要性已得到认可。考虑到土尔其遭遇各种灾害的概率较高，值得注意的是，在这一领域开展的研究十分有限。因此，本研究旨在通过元分析方法调查土耳其护士备灾的相关因素。研究方法：本研究根据 PRISMA 指南进行。我们检索了土耳其国家数据库和 Web of Science 核心数据库。研究纳入了 2000 年 1 月 1 日至 2021 年 12 月 31 日期间在土耳其用土耳其语或英语发表的描述性研究，以得出汇总结果。研究结果共有 9 项研究符合纳入标准，样本量为 3222 名护士。荟萃分析的结果显示，性别和之前的灾害经验对护士的备灾能力没有显著影响（p>0.05）。相反，参与灾害教育项目、熟悉灾害计划和积极参与灾害演习对护士的备灾能力有显著的积极影响（p<0.05）。然而，值得注意的是，对灾难经验的分析显示出很大的异质性（I2=85.6%），表明纳入的研究之间存在差异。同样，与阅读灾难计划有关的分析也表现出很高的异质性（I2=77.7%）。结论根据荟萃分析的现有证据，可以得出结论：接受灾难教育、阅读灾难计划和参与灾难演习对护士的灾难准备感具有积极而显著的影响。
