Development and validation of a fertility information support scale for reproductive-aged patients with breast cancer.

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 aims to develop and validate a suitable scale for assessing the level of fertility information support in reproductive-aged breast cancer patients. Methods: We utilized an exploratory mixed methods approach, dividing the study into two phases: scale development and validation. In Phase 1, initial items were generated through literature review and qualitative interviews. In Phase 2, a cross-sectional survey was conducted involving 468 reproductive-aged breast cancer patients to evaluate the scale's validity and reliability. Scale items underwent item analysis, and their validity and reliability were assessed using Cronbach's α coefficient, retest reliability, content validity, structural validity, and convergent validity. Results: The final scale comprised 17 items, and exploratory factor analysis revealed three common dimensions with internal consistency coefficients of 0.894, 0.816, and 0.869. The overall internal consistency of the scale was 0.908, with a retest reliability Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.937, indicating strong stability and reliability. The construct validity of the scale was excellent (χ Conclusions: Our fertility information support scale for reproductive-aged breast cancer patients demonstrates favorable psychometric properties. It serves as a valuable tool for evaluating fertility information support levels among these patients, assisting medical professionals in addressing fertility concerns and implementing personalized support programs. However, further research is needed to investigate the applicability of this scale in patients from diverse social and cultural backgrounds.
