Reliability and Validity of the Japanese Version of the Implementation Leadership Scale for Nurse Managers and Staff Nurses: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Journal of nursing management, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Background: Strategic leadership is key to implementing evidence-based practice (EBP). Evaluating the readiness and processes necessary to implement EBP using the Japanese version of the implementation leadership scale (ILS) may be useful to systematically promote the implementation of EBP in Japan. This study aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Japanese version of the ILS for nurse managers and staff nurses. Methods: Data were collected in a cross-sectional study. The original ILS was translated into Japanese and back-translated into English. Clinical nurses reviewed it and confirmed its face validity. We distributed a web questionnaire to 119 nurse managers and 2,858 staff nurses working at three university hospitals in Japan's metropolitan areas. Construct validity was assessed for nursing managers and staff nurses, respectively, using confirmatory factor analysis. Known-group validity for nurse managers was assessed by verifying differences in ILS scores by educational background and experience of learning EBP and working on EBP. We evaluated reliability using Cronbach's alpha and test-retest reliability. Results: The response rates for nurse managers and staff nurses were 56.3% and 16.9%, respectively. Data from 67 nursing managers and 484 staff nurses were analyzed, excluding duplicate responses. Confirmatory factor analyses of both samples supported the four-factor structure of ILS. The ILS total score of nurse managers with experience learning EBP or experience working on EBP was statistically significantly higher than that of those with no experience, and known-group validity was supported. Across both samples, internal consistency reliability was strong (Cronbach's alpha: 0.91-0.97) and test-retest reliability was moderate. Conclusion: This study illustrated the reliability and validity of Japanese versions of the ILS for both nurse managers and staff nurses. This study enabled international comparisons of the leadership required for EBP implementation and may support the development of intervention programs and strategies to promote EBP's implementation in different countries.
