Abstract (10 Views)
Background: Nurses in Iran have experienced numerous challenges in providing care to patients during the disasters. These experiences need to be consolidated to identify challenges and provide strategies used or suggested for preparedness in future disaster. The aim of this study was to summarize and synthesize the results of studies conducted on nurses' experiences of challenges during the disaster, as well as recommended/ used strategies for pandemic preparedness.
Methods & Materials: This scoping review was guided by the framework proposed by Arksey and O'Malley. Several international and local databases including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Scientific Information Database, Iran Medex, IranDoc, Magiran, Google Scholar, and grey literature were systematically searched to May 2025. A framework analysis method based on the socio-economic model was used to synthesize the data.
Results: Of the 811 identified studies from various data sources, 43 met the inclusion criteria. Nurses' experiences during disasters were presented as challenges and strategies, including multi-level issues: intrapersonal (Individual), interpersonal, organizational, community/ societal.
Conclusion: The findings of the current review could lead to a clear understanding for health policymakers and managers to take optimal measures to support nurses and improve the quality of nursing care during future disasters.
