Psychometric properties of the Persian version of Nursing Work Interruption 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
backgroundIdentifying the causes and consequences of work interruptions in nursing is crucial, as they play a vital role in improving workflow, nurse well-being, and enhancing patient safety. Therefore, by considering these factors, healthcare institutions can implement effective interventions and strategies to improve the nursing work environment while simultaneously enhancing the quality of patient care.
aimThis study aims to culturally adapt and psychometrically evaluate the Persian version of the Nursing Work Interruption Scale.
methodsThis methodological cross-sectional study involved a sample of 506 nurses selected through convenience sampling. The translation and cultural adaptation of the Nursing Work Interruption Scale were conducted using the Polit and Yang model. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and assessments of internal consistency were conducted to evaluate the validity and reliability of the instrument. SPSS version 27 and LISREL version 8 software were used in this study.
resultsThe results of the EFA and CFA confirmed the tool with two factors and 12 items. The CFA results indicated a well-fitting model (CFI = 0.91, NNFI = 0.92, GFI = 0.91, RMSEA = 0.057, SRMR = 0.045). Pearson's correlation coefficient confirmed a significant relationship between items, subscales, and the main scale. Additionally, Cronbach's alpha coefficient (0.896) and McDonald's Omega (0.892) confirmed the scale's reliability.
conclusionThe Persian version of the Nursing Work Interruption Scale is a valid and reliable tool, consisting of 12 items and two factors. This scale provides a valuable tool for measuring the extent of work interruptions experienced by nurses. Additionally, it can be utilized to develop and evaluate the efficacy of strategies designed to reduce these interruptions. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
