Development and preliminary validation of the evaluation scale for nurses' core emergency response abilities in sudden major infectious disease outbreaks.
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 4 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
backgroundIn recent years, the escalating frequency and intensity of infectious disease outbreaks have underscored the profound severity and global ramifications of public health challenges confronting healthcare systems. As frontline responders during emerging infectious disease crises, nurses' core emergency response competencies critically influence the timeliness and efficacy of outbreak prevention and control measures. Currently, standardized assessment instruments for evaluating nurses' core emergency response capabilities during major infectious disease outbreaks remain underdeveloped.
aimsThis study aimed to construct and psychometrically validate a Core Emergency Response Competency Evaluation Scale for nurses during major infectious disease outbreaks.
methodsA convenience sample of nurses was recruited from eight tertiary hospitals in Henan Province, China. The three-phase study comprised: (1) item generation (Delphi survey and pilot testing), (2) scale development (item analysis and exploratory factor analysis), and (3) scale validation (reliability and validity assessments).
resultsThe finalized 45-item scale encompasses eight dimensions: Fundamental Nursing Knowledge, Legal Policy & Ethical Practice, Core Nursing Skills, Disease Assessment & Monitoring, Emergency Response Coordination, Infection Prevention & Control, Nurse Personal Attributes, and Rehabilitation & Recovery. Exploratory factor analysis demonstrated an 83.353% cumulative variance contribution for the eight-factor model. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated excellent model fit (χ²/df = 1.943, RMR = 0.020, RMSEA = 0.050, IFI = 0.951, TLI = 0.947, CFI = 0.951, PNFI = 0.835). The scale exhibited strong reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.987, split-half = 0.956, test-retest = 0.977) and validity (I-CVI = 0.875-1.00; S-CVI = 0.974). Convergent validity was supported by AVE values (0.611-0.778) and CR values (0.903-0.955).
conclusionThe psychometrically robust Core Emergency Response Competency Evaluation Scale for Sudden Major Infectious Diseases demonstrates excellent reliability and validity, providing a scientifically validated tool for assessing nurses' emergency preparedness in infectious disease crises.
