Development of a scale measuring home-visiting nurses' attitudes toward patient safety: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC nursing, 2023. 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
backgroundHome-visiting nurses are required to recognize risks in their work, ensure patient safety according to the characteristics of home-visiting nursing, and therefore, effectively support stability in patients' lives. In this study, we created a scale measuring home-visiting nurses' attitudes toward patient safety and examined its reliability and validity.
methodsA total of 2,208 home-visiting nurses from Japan were randomly selected as participants. From the 490 responses collected (response rate: 22.2%), 421 responses with no missing values, other than those related to participants' basic information (valid response rate: 19.0%), were analyzed. Participants were randomly divided into two groups: 210 for exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and 211 for confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). To examine the reliability of the home-visiting nurses attitude scale developed in this study, ceiling and floor effects, inter-item correlations, and item-total correlations were checked. Subsequently, EFA was performed to confirm the factor structure. CFA, composite reliability, average variance extracted, and Cronbach's alpha for each factor were extracted to confirm the factor structure of the scale and the validity of the model.
resultsThe home-visiting nurses' attitudes toward patient safety were measured using 19 questionnaire items related to four factors: "Self-improvement for patient safety," "Incident awareness," "Counter measures based on incident experience," and "Nursing care to protect the lives of patients." Cronbach's α coefficients were 0.867, 0.836, 0.773, and 0.792 for Factors 1-4, respectively. Model indicators were χ
conclusionsFrom the results of the CFA, criterion-related validity, and Cronbach's α coefficient, this scale is considered reliable and valid and thus, highly appropriate. Therefore, it may be effective at measuring home-visiting nurses' attitudes toward patients' medical safety from both behavioral and awareness aspects.
