    Being Both an Earthquake Survivor and a Nurse: Türkiye's Twin Earthquakes
    (Sage Publications Inc, 2025) Alan, Handan; Ozen Bekar, Ebru; Kavaslar, Ibrahim
    Background: In February 2023, twin earthquakes struck 11 provinces in T & uuml;rkiye, devastating infrastructure and healthcare services. Nurses, as both survivors and frontline responders, faced extreme physical, emotional, and organizational challenges. Their experiences offer critical insights into disaster-related occupational risks and the structural gaps in worker health and safety. This study aims to explore the experiences of nurses working in hospitals affected by the twin earthquakes in T & uuml;rkiye in 2023.Methods: A qualitative, descriptive research design was used. Study participants were selected using purposeful sampling among nurses who experienced the earthquakes and continued working in the affected areas. In-depth online interviews were conducted with 17 nurses, achieving data saturation. The data were analyzed using content analysis, and the COREQ checklist was followed for study reporting.Results: As a result of the analysis, four themes were revealed; (1) earthquake shock, (2) working conditions, (3) living conditions, and (4) family and psychosocial situation. Nurses reported overwhelming psychological strain, unsafe working environments, lack of disaster plans, inadequate managerial support, and severe resource shortages-all of which posed significant threats to worker health and safety.Conclusions/Applications to Practice: This study highlights how nurses' dual roles as victims and caregivers during a large-scale disaster exposed critical vulnerabilities in worker health and safety. The findings underline the urgency of disaster-specific worker health and safety strategies, including trauma-informed mental health care, rapid staff support systems, and safety-oriented organizational planning to protect frontline healthcare workers in emergencies.

    The relationship between nurse managers' personality traits and their conflict management strategy preferences
    (Wiley, 2021) Gokoglan, Ebru; Ozen Bekar, Ebru
    Aim To investigate the relationship between nurse managers' personality traits and conflict management strategies. Background Despite the important role of personality traits in conflict management strategy preferences, no study to date has addressed the relationship between personality traits and conflict management in nurse managers. Methods A descriptive and cross-sectional design was applied. The study sample consisted of 114 nurse managers from six hospitals, and 111 participants completed forms for a total response rate of 97.36%. Results The main findings revealed that the conflict management strategies used by nurse managers participating were as follows: integrating (39.21, range = 29-45), avoiding (38.39, range = 23-65), compromising (31.51, range = 24-40), dominating (20.05, range = 12-28 ) and obliging (19.42, range = 14-25). It was seen that managers whose personality traits were extraverted, agreeable or conscientious chose the integration strategy to manage conflict, whereas managers with emotional inconsistency in personality traits preferred the avoiding strategy. Conclusions Nurse managers are important to effectively managing conflicts in the clinical environment. Personality trait may be linked to the successful management of conflict. Implications for Nursing Management Revealing the relationship between nurse managers' personality traits and associated conflict management strategies can help senior management organise useful training programmes to improve the conflict management capabilities.
