Validation and psychometric properties of the Persian version of the critical reflection competency scale for clinical nurses.

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
backgroundCritical reflection is vital for enhancing nursing competencies and patient care. This study aimed to validate and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the critical reflection competency scale (CRCS-P) for clinical nurses.
methodsThis methodological study was conducted among clinical nurses in Ardabil, Iran, from July to September 2024. Participants included 201 nurses with at least six months of clinical experience. Psychometric properties were assessed following COSMIN guidelines, including content validity, construct validity through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and reliability testing.
resultsThe CRCS-P demonstrated strong content validity, with Content Validity Index (CVI) scores ranging from 0.80 to 0.92. CFA results indicated robust construct validity, with fit indices showing CMIN/DF = 1.349, RMSEA = 0.034, GFI = 0.941, CFI = 0.989, NFI = 0.958, and AGFI = 0.921. Internal consistency was confirmed with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.862 and McDonald's omega coefficient of 0.871, and test-retest reliability yielded an Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) of 0.806.
conclusionThe CRCS-P is a valid and reliable tool for assessing critical reflection competencies among clinical nurses in Iran. This instrument can facilitate the integration of reflective practices into nursing education and professional development, ultimately enhancing patient care outcomes.
