Methods Qualitative studies on disaster relief experience of nurses in emergency department were systematically searched from CNKI,VIP database,Wanfang Database,Chinese Biomedical Literature database,PubMed,Cochrane Library,Web of science and Embase. The search period was from the establishment of the database to April 30,2024. The literature quality was evaluated independently using the Joanna Briggs Institute(JBI) Centre for Evidence-Based Health Care Qualitative Research Quality Evaluation tool,and the included literature was integrated and analyzed using the pooled integration method. Results A total of 14 literatures were included,and 43 research results were extracted and summarized into 11 categories,which were summarized into 4 integrated results:negative experience of emergency department nurses in disaster relief,positive experience of emergency department nurses in disaster relief,support and demand of emergency department nurses in disaster relief,and future challenges of emergency department nurses in disaster relief. Conclusion Disaster rescue brings many troubles to the physical,psychological and social aspects of emergency department nurses.
