Psychometric properties of the nursing start-up attitude scale in Iranian nursing students.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. 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
backgroundEntrepreneurial attitudes among nursing students are crucial for fostering innovation and addressing the evolving challenges in healthcare. However, measuring these attitudes accurately requires robust and validated instruments. The Nursing Start-up Attitude Scale is a valid and reliable instrument specifically designed to measure nursing students' attitudes towards start-ups. However, its psychometric properties in the context of the Iranian nursing field have not been thoroughly examined.
methodsThis methodological study was conducted online between 2021 and 2023, involving nursing students from various universities across Iran. The study employed the following procedures: forward-backward translation, assessment of face and content validities, concurrent validity analysis (n = 80 nursing students), exploratory factor analysis (n = 120), confirmatory factor analysis (n = 220), and reliability analysis, which included the assessment of Cronbach's alpha coefficient, interclass correlation coefficient, interpretability, and ceiling and floor effects.
resultsA total of 370 nursing students participated in the study. After ensuring the face and content validities, the concurrent validity was confirmed (r = 0.89). The five factors extracted in the exploratory factor analysis, which accounted for 80.74% of the explained variance, were subsequently confirmed in the confirmatory factor analysis. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was found to be 0.85. Additionally, the interclass correlation coefficient for the total scale was 0.812, and there were no ceiling or floor effects observed (0%).
conclusionThe present study confirms the validity and reliability of the Nursing Start-up Attitude Scale in the Iranian context. This scale can serve as a valuable tool for identifying both the strengths and areas for improvement in nursing entrepreneurial education programs. By utilizing the Nursing Start-up Attitude Scale, these programs can effectively enhance the development of entrepreneurial skills among future nursing professionals.
