A qualitative study on Turkey's earthquakes, the century's catastrophe: Perspectives and coping methods of surviving nursing studentsSönmez Sari, EbruTerzi, HandanDisastersearthquakesnursingnursing educationqualitative researchAim: To understand the experiences and coping strategies of nursing students who were impacted by Turkey's once-in-a-century catastrophic earthquakes in 2023. Background: Nursing students rarely experience a disaster in person, and their imagination can be limited. Methods: This study used a descriptive-qualitative study design. It was conducted with 17 first-year nursing students, studying at a university in the northeastern part of Turkey, who survived the earthquake. A personal information form and a semistructured questionnaire were used to collect the data. The data were collected between March and April 2023 and analyzed using the content analysis method and the MaXQDA programme. Results: The data were grouped into three main themes—“What ‘earthquake’ was and what it is now?,” “Am I aware of the ‘earthquake’ now?,” and “Coping mechanisms and supporting systems”—and categorized into seven subthemes. Conclusions: The experiences of earthquake-affected nursing students emphasized the importance of being prepared for disasters and meeting their emotional needs. Implications for nursing practice and policies: Including specific courses and case studies regarding disasters, whether natural or human-made, in education programs can ensure better prepared nurses. Also, the integration of content about management and coping with such crises into nursing curricula is considered vital.John Wiley and Sons Inc2025Articlehttps://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/bayburt/11356https://doi.org/10.1111/inr.130420020-8132enInternational Nursing Reviewinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://bayburt-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/bayburt/11356
