Psychometric Testing of the Revised Oncology Nurses Health Behaviors Determinants Scale.
Article in Western journal of nursing research, 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
backgroundChemotherapy exposure is an occupational risk that affects oncology nurses and is linked to several negative health consequences. Oncology nurses' adherence to chemotherapy handling guidelines is critical to protect themselves from this hazardous drug exposure. Several personal and workplace-related factors affect nurses' adherence to these guidelines.
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to test the psychometric properties of the revised Oncology Nurses Health Behaviors Determinants Scale (HBDS-ON) that measures factors affecting nurses' adherence to chemotherapy handling guidelines.
methodsA quantitative cross-sectional design was used. One hundred twenty-three oncology nurses were recruited through convenience sampling from 2 hospital settings in the Midwest United States and through social media. Participants completed 3 online surveys: (1) the Revised Hazardous Drugs Handling Questionnaire, (2) the revised HBDS-ON, and (3) a demographic questionnaire.
resultsExploratory factor analysis revealed a conceptually reasonable 7-subscale structure of the revised HBDS-ON. The psychometric properties of the scale were supported by convergence validity, regression model testing, and internal consistency reliability. Oncology nurses reported adherence to chemotherapy handling guidelines 55% of the time. The cues to action in the workplace, nurses' perceived barriers, institutional response to chemotherapy exposure incidents, and personal protective equipment availability and accessibility were associated with oncology nurses' adherence to chemotherapy handling guidelines.
conclusionThe revised HBDS-ON demonstrates reliability and validity and can be used to measure factors at workplace and personal levels that affect nurses' adherence to chemotherapy handling guidelines.
