Psychometric properties and measurement invariance of the medical staff occupational stress scale among Chinese clinical nurses.
Article in BMC nursing, 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
backgroundThe Medical Staff Occupational Stress Scale (MSOSS) is a timely tool for the measurement of occupational stress among medical staff. It included a childhood stress dimension and seven other work-related stress dimensions. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties and measurement invariance of the MSOSS using a large cohort of clinical nurses from Southeast China.
methodA province-level survey was conducted from January 1st 2022 to May 31st 2022. Full-time clinical nurses from multiple hospitals in Hainan province were recruited. A total of 2989 nurses (1639 from secondary hospitals and 1350 from tertiary hospitals) completed the survey. The reliability of the MSOSS was assessed by its internal consistency. The validity of the MSOSS was assessed by its structural validity, convergent validity and concurrent validity. A series of multi-group confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to test and establish measurement invariance across variables such as age, work duration, hospital level, and job title.
resultsThe MSOSS exhibited excellent internal consistency in the different cohorts (Cronbach's α = 0.954-0.965, omega coefficient = 0.956-0.967 and Spearman-Brown coefficient = 0.883-0.905). The MSOSS exhibited stable structural validity and the confirmative factor analysis showed that the comparative fit index (CFI), incremental fit index (IFI) and Tucker-Lewis Index (TLI) were all around 0.9 in the different cohorts, indicating a good model fit. The measurement invariance of the MSOSS across hospital level, age, work duration and job title was supported by its metric invariance, scalar invariance and residual invariance. Cut-offs for the MSOSS as a depression and anxiety screening tool were also calculated. Scores above 102 and 207 were found to be indicative of depression and anxiety, respectively.
conclusionsThe MSOSS proved to be a suitable tool for assessing occupational stress among clinical nurses.
