Development of the Ward Nurses' Perspective-taking of the Staff Receiving Discharged Patients Scale: An observational study of ward nurses.

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
introductionDischarge planning involves coordinating between different care settings. Failed coordination can lead to delayed care at the facilities receiving discharged patients. Nurses who implement discharge planning must consider the circumstances of the staff receiving the discharged patients.
objectiveThis study aims to develop a nurses' perspective-taking scale for measuring the cognitive process of imagining a staff's situation when receiving discharged patients.
methodsAn online survey was conducted from September to November 2021 with nurses in Japanese acute care hospitals, using a 20-item questionnaire based on interviews and a literature review. Item reduction was conducted based on inter-item correlations, item-total correlations, and exploratory factor analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed. For the exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, the samples were randomly split in half and tested. Cronbach's alpha, intraclass correlation coefficients, and correlation coefficients were calculated using both self-developed and pre-existing measures.
resultsThe questionnaire was distributed to 1,289 individuals, and 416 valid responses were obtained. Item reduction and exploratory factor analysis resulted in a 10-item scale with two subscales, "imagine-other" (six items), which is imagining the other person's situation, and "imagine-self" (four items), which is imagining oneself in the other person's situation. The goodness-of-fit indices were as follows: comparative fit index, 0.95; root mean square error of approximation, 0.08; and standardized root mean squared residual, 0.06. Correlation coefficients with existing scales were 0.38, 0.57, and -0.33. Cronbach's alpha was 0.89, and the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.54.
conclusionThe newly developed scale proved to be reliable, valid, and suitable for use. This scale can measure the degree of perspective-taking by nurses, which can improve collaboration between facilities and the effectiveness of discharge planning.
