Background The presence of nurses during disasters can lead to many consequences. Understanding the nurses’ experiences of these consequences can provide valuable insights. Therefore, this study was conducted to explore the experiences of Iranian nurses regarding the consequences they faced when being present during disasters. Methods This qualitative descriptive study employed a content analysis approach to examine the topic at hand. 20 nurses working in the emergency units of Kerman hospitals were selected through purposive sampling. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect the data. The data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis proposed by Graneheim and Lundman. MAXQDA 10 was used to manage data. Results After analysis of the interviews, two main categories were identified: overlapping of job frustrations and acquiring experience in difficult conditions. The main category of acquiring experience in difficult conditions comprised the following subcategories: improved quality of care, experience and dedication in fulfilling the role, reduced stress, occupational motivation and enthusiasm, increased self-confidence, and improved social status. On the other hand, the category of overlapping of job frustrations also consisted of the subcategories of physical strength deterioration, psychological and emotional distress, discontinued from supports, feelings of hopelessness, increased exposure to violence and aggression, and occurrence of family problems. Conclusion Being present during disasters and obtaining the necessary competencies can have positive consequences that serve as turning points in the personal and professional growth of nurses. Additionally, favorable outcomes can help nurses cope with adverse circumstances. Managers can utilize the findings of this study to develop strategies aimed at reducing negative outcomes and enhancing positive ones among nurses during disasters.

Accentuated by unprecedented challenges, burnout has become a prominent concern affecting employee well‐being. The job demands resource (JD‐R) model suggests that job demands has the capacity to mitigate employee burnout. Nevertheless, there has been limited attention on the integration of the psychological and organisational processes contributing to such effect. This research aims to analyse the integrative role of psychological (i.e., employee self‐regulation) and organisational processes (such as the Human Resource Management system) in the JD‐R model to enhance well‐being in workplaces. Consistent with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 of the United Nations (‘healthy lives and well‐being’), the results of this research conducted in public sector hospitals suggest that job demands affect employee burnout through the mediation of employee coping (self‐regulation) strategies. Furthermore, the research enriches the existing literature by showing how employee self‐regulation and organisational Human Resource Management practices may alter the effect of job demands on burnout.

Recent natural disasters, including the COVID-19 pandemic, earthquakes, tsunamis, and hurricanes, have exposed the vulnerabilities inherent in global supply chains, resulting in widespread disruptions that have impacted most organizations. The healthcare industry has been particularly affected by these supply chain vulnerabilities, leading to critical shortages of medical products, and compromising the quality-of-service delivery. The vulnerabilities exposed in healthcare supply chains underscore the pressing need for improved systems, policies, and solutions to mitigate supply chain risks and disruptions. Drawing upon theoretical frameworks from diverse disciplines, the current study aims to investigate the impact of natural disasters on healthcare supply chains and develop critical steps to address vulnerabilities, thereby fostering a resilient supply chain strategy tailored to the healthcare industry.
