Turkish validity and reliability study of the "respectful maternity care" knowledge and practice scale of midwives.

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
Objective: Increasing cesarean rates in Turkey show that respectful maternity care services should be given priority and importance. It is difficult to achieve sustainable development goals without adopting a respectful maternity care approach, and there is no Turkish measurement tool to evaluate the knowledge and practices of midwives on "respectful maternity care". The aim of this study is to evaluate whether the "respectful maternity care knowledge and practice scale of midwives" is an appropriate measurement tool for Turkish women by conducting a Turkish validity and reliability study. Study design: The methodological study was carried out by midwives working in three Public Hospitals. Data were collected face-to-face using the "introductory information form" and "the respectful maternity care knowledge and practice scale of midwives". Results: The scale consists of two sections knowledge and practice. Both sections have three sub-dimensions: "providing emotional support", "providing safe care", and "preventing abuse". The cronbach alpha internal consistency coefficient value ranged between 0.76 and 0.95 for both sections.This study has determined that this scale, which was adapted, consists of three sub-dimensions and 46 items (23 items each) in both knowledge and application sections, is a highly valid and reliable scale compatible with Turkish culture, as a result of the validity and reliability findings.
