Psychometric properties of the Korean version of the oncofertility barriers scales among nurses: A methodological study.

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: This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Korean version of the Oncofertility Barrier Scale (K-OBS). Methods: This methodological study investigated the validity and reliability of the K-OBS for measuring barriers to oncofertility care among nurses. A total of 270 nurses who had experience in rendering nursing care to cancer survivors were recruited, and the instrument was translated, assessed for content validity, and tested using a preliminary survey. Construct validity was established through explanatory factor analysis. Convergent validity and discriminant validity were analyzed using a multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) matrix. Reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega. Results: The K-OBS demonstrated satisfactory validity and reliability, with seven factors, including 27 items explaining 60.42% of the total variance, a Cronbach's alpha of 0.86, and a McDonald's omega of 0.83. The seven factors were labeled, "Lack of information and education" (8 items), "Rigid thinking toward oncofertility care" (5 items), "Cancer patient stereotypes" (4 items), "Insufficient support" (4 items), "Desire for fertility preservation" (2 items), "Interrupted oncofertility care" (2 items), and "Fertility risk" (2 items). Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that the K-OBS may be a suitable instrument with acceptable validity and reliability for evaluating barriers to oncofertility among Korean nurses. This instrument can be used to identify obstacles that make oncofertility care difficult, thereby contributing to new insights for improving the future quality of oncofertility care in Korea.
