A psychometric appraisal of a revised preparedness for medication administration questionnaire in final-year undergraduate nursing students: a secondary analysis.
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
backgroundStudents must be prepared for the transference of medication administration (pharmacology knowledge and clinical skills) to clinical practice. The Preparedness for Medication Oral Administration questionnaire has been used in several studies and demonstrated strong internal reliability and consistency. The questionnaire has been revised to align with updated medication competencies. The factor structure or dimensionality of the questionnaires has not been examined.
aimTo examine the psychometric properties of the Preparedness for Medication Administration (Revised) Questionnaire.
methodData from a previous study were used to determine the psychometric properties of the Preparedness for Medication Administration (Revised) Questionnaire. Three new items were added to the revised questionnaire, and the focus shifted from the oral route of medication administration. An exploratory factor analysis was conducted to assess the reliability and dimensionality of the revised questionnaire, using principal axis factoring and Oblique rotation on the 20 items.
resultsTwo hundred fourteen final-year undergraduate nursing students completed the questionnaire; the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure confirmed sampling adequacy (.96) and Bartlett's test of sphericity χ
conclusionThis research provides information for a psychometrically sound tool to assess students' preparedness for medication administration once they graduate and become independent practitioners.
