Aim: The demand for health services increases after disasters, and nurses assume essential roles in health service delivery. Natural disasters such as earthquakes can negatively affect the quality of nurses' health care. This study aimed to understand the problems experienced by nurses who experienced the February 6, 2023 earthquake and worked in this region, their views on the future of nursing, the impact of the earthquake on nursing and the feelings of nurses.
Method: This qualitative study is a phenomenological study conducted with seven nurses working in the earthquake zone in September 2023. Data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire of 4 questions. Descriptive and content analysis were used to analyse the data.
Results: It was determined that the participants experienced a lack of resources, a lack of physical environment, a lack of coordination and communication, hygiene problems, and security problems while providing health services in the earthquake zone. Nurses primarily stated that lack of resources and hygiene problems should be eliminated. They are concerned that there will be a lack of workforce in the future. When asked about the emotions they felt, the theme of negative emotions such as anxiety, hopelessness, fear, panic and loneliness was reached.
Conclusion: Nurses providing healthcare services in the earthquake zone experienced various inadequacies and deficiencies and felt negative emotions such as anxiety and hopelessness. Since this situation may negatively affect the quality of care, nurses should be supported, and health services should be improved.
