Validity and reliability of the self-care behaviour scale for patients with left ventricular assist device.
Article in Nursing open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
aimsTo evaluate the validity and reliability of the self-care behaviour scale for patients with left ventricular assist devices.
designMethodological study.
methodsThe English version of the scale was translated into Korean, and it was then back-translated into English. Survey data were collected from 32 patients with left ventricular assist device in South Korea, and construct validity, content validity and reliability were analysed.
resultsThe original self-care behaviour scale comprises three domains and 33 items, whereas the Korean self-care behaviour scale comprises 27 items and five domains: device management, wound management, symptom monitoring, activated healthcare system and self-care management. Cronbach's alpha for the overall scale was 0.94, and that for the five domains ranged from 0.36 to 0.90. The intraclass correlation coefficient for the overall scale was 0.89, and the five domains ranged from 0.71 to 0.88.
conclusionThe newly evaluated scale would be valid and reliable in measure self-care behaviour for patients with a left ventricular assist device. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: Patients can manage the left ventricular assist device on their own based on evidence and use it as a tool for effective communication with medical professionals.
