Reliability and validation of the Positive Aspects of Caregiving scale among Japanese caregivers of people with dementia.
Article in International journal of nursing sciences, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesThis study aimed to validate the Positive Aspects of Caregiving(PAC) scale's psychometric properties among Japanese informal caregivers of people with dementia.
methodsA cross-sectional research design was used. Data were collected from the Kinki region of Japan during January 2019 and July 2019. Translation and back-translation were performed to acquire the optimal translation of the PAC scale. In total, 194 participants responded to questionnaires that included the Japanese version of the PAC scale and the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). Reliability was evaluated by examining the internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Exploratory factor analysis with maximum likelihood estimation and oblique rotation was performed to assess the PAC scale structure. Concurrent validity was determined using Pearson's correlation coefficient.
resultsThe final version of the Japanese version of the PAC scale contained nine items. Exploratory factor analysis revealed two factors (
conclusionsThis study found that the Japanese version of the PAC scale was a suitable scale to measure PAC among Japanese caregivers of people with dementia. However, the construct differed from the original model. This scale could help health-care professionals understand the degree of caregivers' recognition about dementia care and support those with a low degree of positive aspects of caregiving.
