Article Abstract
Background: The growing frequency and severity of natural disasters threaten global health and socioeconomic stability. As frontline responders, nurses play a critical role in disaster preparedness and response. Taking into account the lack of research on the various influence factors associated with nurses' disaster preparedness, This research aimed to systematically summarize the influencing factors and quantitative data, and conduct a meta-analysis. It provides a reference for related nursing research and the formulation of management policies.
Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
Data Sources: Systematic search of PubMed, Web of Science, EMbase, Cochrane Library,EBSCO,China Biomedical Literature Database (Sinomed), China Knowledge Network Journal Database (CNKI), Wanfang Database,and Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database (Weipu) from the time of database construction to February 2025.
Methods: The researcher completed literature selection,quality assessment,data extraction, and analysis of all included literature.Mean scores on the Nurse Disaster Preparedness Rating Scale and their effect sizes were summarised using Meta-analysis in the Stata 18.0 software package.Finally,subgroup analyses were performed to explore sources of heterogeneity between studies.
Results: A total of 2455 documents were retrieved,47 papers were included,and 15 influences were extracted;Meta-analysis revealed that the main influences on nurses' disaster preparedness included whether they had participated in a disaster relief event,whether they had participated in disaster relief training,age,and gender,education background,professional title,hospital grade,years of experience,and department of work.
Conclusion: The study showed that nurses' disaster preparedness is influenced by a combination of factors.Hospital administrators can develop appropriate interventions based on different influencing factors to enhance nurses' disaster readiness and reserve disaster relief nursing talent.

This viewpoint highlights the critical need for proactive and strategic integration of digital health tools into heat-health action plans (HHAPs) across Europe. Drawing insights from the digital health surge during the COVID-19 pandemic and recent heat-related health impacts, we identify response gaps and suggest specific strategies to strengthen current plans. Key recommendations include leveraging mobile health communication, expanding telemedicine usage, adopting wearable health monitoring devices, and using advanced data analytics to improve responsiveness and equity.

The growing impact of climate change has highlighted the importance of effective disaster housing recovery (DHR) measures, particularly in resource-constrained places prone to flooding. As these communities confront displacement and financial instability, allocating resources for post-DHR is crucial. This study presents an innovative strategy for improving DHR planning and execution that uses genetic algorithms (GAs), with a focus on Long-Term Recovery Groups (LTRGs) and community engagement for long-term results.

Introduction: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic thrust individuals from nonhealthcare occupations, such as public transit, into the role of frontline essential workers. Unlike frontline healthcare workers, these individuals lacked the training, experience, supplies, equipment, and supervision that would typically be expected for healthcare and first response personnel during a pandemic. New York City transit workers were particularly impacted due to high rates of mortality, illness, and quarantine and isolation, yet data are sparse on their perceptions of worksite preparedness and response.

NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue Hospital (Bellevue) conducts quarterly drills to test the readiness and preparedness of its special pathogen program. As a Regional Emerging Special Pathogen Treatment Center, Bellevue maintains a state of readiness to respond to patients infected with highly infectious pathogens. On March 29, 2024, Bellevue conducted a no-notice drill to simulate the arrival of a pediatric patient suspected of a viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF).
