Examination of the Psychometric Properties of the Persian Version of the Challenges to Stopping Smoking Scale (CSS) in Patients with Cardiovascular Disease (CVD).

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
Background: Smoking is one of the modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) that is related to different types of chronic disorders. Many patients with CVD consider smoking cessation a difficult task due to various reasons. The goal of the present study was to translate the Challenges to Stopping Smoking Scale (CSS) into Persian and examine its psychometric properties. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional methodological study, a total of 341 patients with CVD [141 for exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and 200 for confirmatory factor analysis (CFA)] participated, and were selected using a convenience sampling method. Participants completed the Persian version of the CSS. Face, content, and construct validities were examined. Internal consistency was assessed using the McDonald's Omega and Cronbach's alpha coefficients, and stability was examined using the test-retest method. Results: In the EFA, two factors of Internal Challenges and External Challenges were extracted that together explained 42.619% of the total variance. Cronbach's alpha coefficients of 0.740 and 0.799 and Intraclass correlation coefficients of 0.862 and 0.869 were found for Internal and External Challenges, respectively. According to the results of CFA, the three-factor model had a good fit to the data. (RMSEA: 0.059; CFI: 0.94; GFI: 0.97; NFI: 0.90; PNFI: 0.77) Conclusion: The Persian version of the CSS has good validity and reliability, and can be used as a valid and reliable instrument in future studies.
