Developing and validating a cross-cultural competence scale for Japanese nurses.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In recent years, Japan has experienced a significant increase in the number of foreign students and workers entering the country. This has resulted in a vast number of international patients in medical facilities. This shift emphasizes the immediate need for Japanese nurses who are both clinically proficient and culturally attuned. In response, our research developed and validated the Cross-cultural Competence Scale for Japanese Nurses (CCCSJN) to better equip nurses for diverse patient care. We conducted a cross-sectional study in Japan's general hospitals using anonymous questionnaires with nurses and midwives. The scale, developed from data from 394 nurses, underwent both qualitative and quantitative evaluations to define its construct. We analyzed the data using exploratory factor analysis, criterion-related validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability, confirming the scale's reliability and validity. The exploratory analysis revealed five factors: "cross-cultural understanding," "cross-cultural communication ability," "motivation for cross-cultural nursing," "cooperation with multiple professions," and "respect for foreign patients." These factors explained 50.92% of the total variance. Cronbach's α for the CCCSJN was 0.94, and the test-retest reliability correlation was 0.77. The construct validity, criterion-related validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability of the CCCSJN were verified. The CCCSJN can be used to assess the cross-cultural competencies of Japanese nurses and identify what skills need to be mastered, leading to improved cross-cultural competence and care.
