Psychometric Properties of the Thai Version of Supportive Care Needs Survey-Partners and Caregivers (T- SCNS-P&C) for Cholangiocarcinoma Caregivers.

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
backgroundUnmet needs of cancer patients and caregivers are also closely linked with patients and their family well-being. Identifying and focusing on caregivers' unmet need have been recommended to reduce their burden and improve their quality of life (QOL). This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Thai version of Supportive Care Needs Survey for Partners and Caregivers (T-SCNS-P&C) among Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) caregivers.
methodsThe T-SCNS-P&C was developed using standardized translation methodology. A total of 231 CCA caregivers completed the T- SCNS-P&C. The internal consistency of the scale was examined with Cronbach's alpha. Construct validity was analyzed using Pearson correlations coefficient with the physical effects, stage, anxiety and depression, age, and education level. To assess the factorial validity of the T-SCNS-P&C, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed.
resultsThe T- SCNS-P&C indicated good readability and high content validity for use as an assessment tool among Thai CCA caregivers. All Cronbach's α coefficients were above the minimum acceptable criterion of ≥0.70. For construct validity, higher physical effect scores and higher anxiety and depression scores, as well as poorer QOL scores and younger caregivers, were significantly positively associated with higher levels of unmet needs. CFA indicated that the four factor structure of the T-SCNS-P&C was a good fit to the data.
conclusionThe T-SCNS-P&C demonstrated acceptable reliability and validity for assessing unmet needs among CCA caregivers in Thailand. Using this simple assessment to target the individual needs of these caregivers can help healthcare professionals providing effective personalized care.
