Reliability and validity of Persian version of the nurses' willingness to engage in palliative care scale.
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 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
introductionNurses play an essential role in providing palliative care to improve the quality of life of people with chronic diseases. The Willingness of nurses to engage in this cares is a necessary issue. Therefore, the evaluation of their willingness requires the use of valid, reliable, and suitable tools in the health system of Iran. This study was conducted to translate and validate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the nurses' willingness to engage in the palliative care scale.
methodsThis methodological study was conducted in 2023. 440 nurses were included using the convenience sampling in Baqiyatallah Hospital in Tehran. The translation was done using the forward-backward method. Face validity was done with a cognitive interview with 15 clinical nurses. Content validity was done using the opinions of 15 palliative expert nurses, and construct validity was done using exploratory factor analysis (n = 240) and confirmatory factor analysis (n = 200). The reliability was done using internal consistency and assessment of stability. The data were analyzed using SPSS v.25 and LISREL v.8.8.
resultsIn the face validity assessment, the items did not change. Brief changes were made in items 8 and 18, in the content validity assessment. In the exploratory factor analysis, 4 factors same as the original version were extracted with a cumulative variance of 59.52%. The results of confirmatory factor analysis showed that the 4-factor model was fit (RMSEA = 0.062, CFI = 0.97, NFI = 0.93, IFI = 0.97, GFI = 0.88). The internal consistency using Cronbach's alpha was 0.9 also the stability was 0.79.
conclusionThe Persian version of nurses' willingness to engage in palliative care scale has sufficient validity and reliability for nurses in the Iranian population. Therefore, this tool can be used to measure nurses' willingness to engage in the palliative care and identify effective strategies. This tool can be used in clinical trials and research in order to improve the ability of nurses in palliative care in Iranian society.
