Qualitative Investigation of Nurses' Working Conditions After a Major Earthquake in Türkiye.

Aims: We aimed to determine the working conditions and share the experiences of local earthquake-affected nurses and volunteer nurses from other regions in the first days after the Kahramanmaraş earthquakes that took place in Türkiye on February 6, 2023.

Design: A phenomenological approach was adopted in this inductive qualitative study.

Methods: In-depth individual interviews were held between April and May 2023 with a total of 16 nurses who worked in the earthquake-affected areas or were voluntarily assigned from other provinces.
