Article Nurses on the Frontline of Disaster: A Qualitative Metasynthesis of Post-Earthquake Care Experiences(Wiley, 2026) Kolac, Nurcan; Taylan, Secil; Eroglu, NerminBackground Earthquakes generate urgent and complex care needs, positioning nurses as key responders. Exploring their post-earthquake care experiences is vital for strengthening disaster preparedness and nursing practice.Aim This study aimed to synthesise qualitative evidence on nurses' experiences of providing care in the aftermath of earthquakes.Study Design This research was conducted through a systematic review and meta-synthesis of qualitative studies. The data were analysed using thematic analysis. The qualitative systematic review was conducted using Sandelowski and Barroso's four-step meta-synthesis methodology. This metasynthesis study, conducted in accordance with the PRISMA statement, is registered in PROSPERO. The following electronic databases and platforms were used for the literature review: MEDLINE, Academic Search Ultimate, CINAHL Complete, Complementary Index, Supplemental Index, Directory of Open Access Journals and WOS.Findings Based on 27 included studies, the research identified four main themes and 13 sub-themes related to nurses' post-earthquake care experiences. These themes were: (1) early post-earthquake nursing challenges, (2) conflict experiences, (3) valued experiences and methods of coping with challenges and (4) impact of rescue experiences.Conclusions This research highlighted nurses' post-earthquake care experiences, emphasising how they overcame challenges, redefined their profession and emerged stronger. It also identified the limitations and facilitators within the post-earthquake care environment, providing valuable insights for enhancing care settings during future earthquakes.Relevance to Clinical Practice This study identified limitations and facilitators in the post-earthquake care environment of clinical settings, providing valuable insights to improve care environments during future earthquakes.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Artificial Intelligence in Nursing Practice: A Qualitative Study of Nurses' Perspectives on Opportunities, Challenges, and Ethical Implications(BMC, 2025) Bodur, Gonul; Cakir, Hanife; Turan, Suzan; Seren, Arzu Kader Harmanci; Goktas, PolatBackgroundThe study aims to explore nurses' views on the effects of artificial intelligence (AI) in nursing, focusing on their understanding, practical applications, ethical considerations, and perceived opportunities and threats.MethodsThis qualitative study used semi\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\:-$$\end{document}structured interviews to gain comprehensive insights from clinical nurses, adhering to the Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research for methodological rigor. After obtaining ethical approval, researchers conducted semi\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\:-$$\end{document}structured interviews with 25 clinical nurses. The interviews explored nurses' perceptions of AI, including its basic concepts, applications in nursing practice, ethical and social implications, and potential benefits and drawbacks.ResultsThe analysis identified four overarching themes: (1) Nurses' Conceptualizations of Artificial Intelligence, (2) Opportunities of AI in Nursing Practice, (3) Threats of AI in Nursing Practice, and (4) Ethical and Psychological Concerns in AI-Based Nursing Practice. The findings revealed that nurses had a foundational understanding of AI and its definitions. They acknowledged both the positive and negative impacts of AI technologies on their practice. Nurses expressed that AI could reduce workload, enhance patient care, and improve efficiency. However, they also articulated significant threats, including concerns over professional redundancy, emotional disconnection in caregiving, de-skilling, and the risk of dehumanizing the healthcare environment. Additionally, ethical and psychological concerns emerged, such as ambiguity in accountability, threats to data security and patient safety, unsuitability in psychiatric care contexts, staff surveillance anxiety, and risks of misuse or systemic bias.ConclusionThe study concluded that while nurses possess a basic understanding of AI, the effective and ethical integration of AI technologies in nursing requires targeted training, institutional preparedness, and robust interdisciplinary collaboration. To ensure AI complements rather than compromises nursing values, it is imperative to equip nurses with skills in digital literacy, ethical reasoning, and critical engagement with AI tools. The findings highlight the necessity of structured education programs and policy development that address both the technological and humanistic dimensions of AI use in healthcare. Future research should actively incorporate patient and public voices to ensure that AI-driven transformations in care remain aligned with the principles of patient-centeredness and human dignity.
