Development of the ethical behavior scale in nursing.
Article in BMC nursing, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundStudies about the evaluation of nursing care from the patient's perspective are becoming more important. Ethic is an essential element in nursing care. Every person deserves to receive nursing care according to ethical principles, regardless of language, religion, race, or gender. In this study aimed to develop an instrument to evaluate the ethical behavior of nurses.
methodsThe methodological study used a mixed research method designed in accordance with the GRAMMS criteria. Qualitative data was obtained through in-depth interviews. Quantitative data were collected using the Ethical Behavior Scale in Nursing (EBSN). This study was conducted in 4 hospitals (nurses) and 3 health faculty (intern nurses/nursing students) in 2022. There are a total of 714 participants. The construct validity of the scale was evaluated with exploratory factor analyses (EFA) and confirmatory factor analyses (CFA). Cronbach's alpha and item total analysis established the internal consistency. Pearson correlation was used for the relationship between the total scale and sub-dimensions.
resultsCronbach's alpha coefficient of the EBSN was 0.94. EBSN had 20 items and a five-factor structure which explained 70.45% of the total variance. Principal component analysis and CFA supported the theoretical construct EBSN. Fit measurements (x²/df) was 3.33. Pearson's correlation coefficient in this data was 0.97.
conclusionThe results of the analysis show the items constituting the scale have validity and reliability criteria that can measure the ethical behavior in nursing profession. It is thought that including activities that will enable nurses to gain positive individual and professional values on ethical issues such as patient rights and patient privacy during the education process will also positively affect their ethical sensitivities. Additionally, in order to increase nurses' ethical awareness, nursing ethics issues should be included in post-graduation continuing education programs.
