Background: Turkey has faced a notable escalation in earthquake disasters in the last two decades. Despite initiating a health and disaster management system, nurses' pivotal roles and experiences in handling such crises have been disregarded.Aim: This qualitative study analyzed nurses' experiences before, during, and after deployment in response to the 2023 Turkey earthquakes to enhance disaster‐response efforts.Methods: This descriptive qualitative study was conducted between March and May 2023 using semistructured interviews with 15 nurses purposively sampled among those who volunteered to work in the earthquake zone. The MIRACLE and COREQ guidelines were followed for reporting qualitative research.Findings: The analysis exposed five main themes for pre‐tasking: moral obligation, motivation, insufficient experience, balancing responsibilities, and preparation challenges. The peri‐task themes include responsibilities, skills, bravery and characteristics, workload management, teamwork, and outcomes. Post‐tasking has three themes: competence assessment, career goals and aspirations, and support. Training and coping with anxiety and stress are common themes for all phases.Conclusions: Disaster relief requires a comprehensive and coordinated response from healthcare organizations, government agencies, and support systems. Providing adequate training, ensuring safety protocols, offering mental health support, and fostering a fair and supportive work environment are crucial steps in mitigating the adverse effects on nurses and, by extension, the patient care process in earthquake‐affected areas.Implications for nursing and health policy: Nurse training in disaster preparedness should cover various response methods and involve multiple disciplines. Managers can help by arranging drills, simulations, online courses, and workshops and promoting partnerships for improved collaboration. Psychological support should be included to address emotional challenges. Regularly updating response policies based on past experiences is crucial for preparedness and efficiency.

The present study examines whether there is a relationship between the ethical leadership (EL), organizational justice perception (OJP), and deviant behaviors (WDB) of customs officers working at international airports in Turkey, and aims to determine whether OJP has a mediating effect on the relationship between EL and WDB. For this purpose, the study was conducted on the 487 customs officers working at 28 airports open to international flights in Turkey. In this study, which was carried out with the quantitative method, the obtained data were analyzed with structural equation modeling (SEM). The results showed that EL had a direct and significant effect on OJP. On the other hand, OJP had a negative direct, and significant effect on deviant workplace behaviors. Moreover, there was no direct and consequential effect of EL on WDB. In addition, EL indirectly affected WDB through OJP, and the OJP had a full mediation effect between these two variables. The findings were interpreted by using social exchange theory. This study develops our understanding of the organization-level antecedents of WDB and mediating role of OJP as the social mechanism of EL. In the Conclusion section of the study, some theoretical conclusions are discussed, and recommendations are offered for customs managers.

Background: Nurses' critical input and firsthand disaster management experience are vital to healthcare quality. Aim: This study aims to comprehend nurses' experiences during and after the earthquakes, their coping mechanisms for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and the consequent effects on their profession, given the nurses' crucial role in disaster response. Methods: A descriptive qualitative study using semistructured interviews was conducted between April and May 2024. Fifteen nurses were selected using criterion and snowball sampling methods from those working as earthquake survivor nurses in the affected areas. The COREQ guidelines for reporting qualitative research were followed. Findings: Five main themes were: emotional reactions/physical difficulties, career and motivation, PTSD and well‐being, suggestions, and work performance. The results highlighted the significant psychological and professional challenges that nurses encounter, including the effects of severe PTSD symptoms, coping strategies, and the influence on their capacity to deliver care. Conclusions: Nurses dealing with earthquakes face unique challenges that test their resilience on all levels. Learning from their experiences and coping mechanisms can help healthcare systems support these frontline workers better. Investing in disaster preparedness and mental health resources for nurses is crucial for their well‐being and the overall strength of the healthcare system during crises. Implications for nursing and health policy: Effectively managing workloads and rest periods can reduce physical fatigue and prevent burnout. Shift rotations and adequate staffing levels are necessary. Access to psychological mental health support is vital for nurses to recover from the psychological effects of disasters. Regular disaster preparedness training is imperative for physical safety and psychological resilience. Robust support systems, including safe accommodation and peer support groups, are crucial for nurses in disaster response.

Aim: The study aimed to understand the role of courage and interactional justice in the emotional exhaustion of emergency nurses.Background: Nurses judge managers' interactions with them. Rude and inappropriate interactions of administrators with nurses are among the reasons that increase the emotional exhaustion of nurses. A courageous nurse can diminish the negative effect of injustice on emotional exhaustion by voicing this unfairness.Introduction: Increasing nurses' emotional exhaustion due to working conditions is a fundamental problem in the health sector. Perception of justice and courage, studied in organizational psychology, are significant antecedents of emotional exhaustion. Individuals with high courage are more likely to seek support and cope with job demands.Methods: Using the cross‐sectional method, the authors performed descriptive, correlation, and regression analyses to test the hypotheses. Data were obtained from 317 emergency nurses currently working in four public hospitals as emergency nurses or have worked in the last three years.Results: Interactional justice was significantly and negatively related to emotional exhaustion but was positively related to workplace social courage. High courage strengthens the negative relationship between interactional justice and emotional exhaustion.Conclusion: Nurses with high courage can reduce emotional exhaustion by raising a voice to request more respectful, honest, polite, and appropriate communication when their managers do not treat them fairly.Implications for nursing practice and policies: Managers' supportive interventions are necessary and helpful in alleviating stressors that cause emotional exhaustion in nurses. The authorities should see and accept managerial unfairness in health, and steps should be taken toward a solution. There is an urgent need to create a communication environment where nurses can courageously share their problems.

Adapting to market and technological turbulence is essential for survival in a developing enterprise and requires making changes. Firms may need to increase their innovation performance to keep up and struggle with these changes to gain a competitive advantage. We believe that the courage of the entrepreneur emerges as a catalyst in such a struggle. Since a firm’s superior performance is contingent on both internal and external environments of the firm, depending on, contingency theory, the current study investigates the effect of market and technological changes, which are part of environmental changes, on innovation performance in nascent enterprises and the moderating role of courage in this effect. The authors collected data from 331 innovative companies acting in free trade zones by using the convenience sampling method via HR department managers. The results showed that market and technological changes were significantly and positively related to innovative performance, and the entrepreneur’s courage moderated this relationship. It can be stated that entrepreneurs with high courage responded to changes with more innovation than those with low courage.
