It is necessary to identify trends and ethical issues of nurses in disasters to improve the quality of care and impact for nurses.MethodThis systematic review enrolled in the international registration with PROSPERO: CRD42022350765.

The types of disasters were: COVID-19 (7/15, 46.6%), infectious (4/15, 26.6%), and all disaster events (4/15, 26.6%).
