The Farsi version of medication administration hassles scale in elderlies with chronic diseases: a psychometric study.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 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
backgroundMedication management is a crucial responsibility of family caregivers. Having a tool for assessing issues related to family caregiver medication prescription tasks is of great importance in evaluating the caregiving experience. This study aimed to translate and assess psychometrically the Medication Administration Hassles Scale in elderly individuals with chronic diseases.
methodsThis study was conducted using a cross-sectional method on family caregivers of elderly individuals with a chronic illness in Iran. In the first phase, the Medication Administration Hassles Scale was translated. In the second phase, face and content validity, item analysis, structural validity, convergent and discriminant validity, and internal consistency were evaluated.
resultsFollowing face and content validity assessment and item analysis, no items were removed, though some revisions were made. Using exploratory factor analysis with 200 caregivers, resulted in a three-factor structure with 18 items explaining 50.71% of the variance. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated a good model fit (RMSEA: 0.07, IFI: 0.92, CFI: 0.92, PNFI: 0.74, TLI: 0.91). Convergent and discriminant validity of all sub-scales were confirmed. Cronbach's alpha for the three subscales were 0.91, 0.82, and 0.80, respectively.
conclusionsThe results indicated that the 18-item Farsi version of the scale, comprising three factors, exhibits acceptable psychometric properties among Iranian caregivers of elderly individuals.
