Psychometric properties of the Dundee Ready Educational Environment Measure (DREEM) in a Moroccan sample of nursing students.
Article in Belitung nursing journal, 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
Background: The educational environment is crucial to student learning and professional development in nursing education. The Dundee Ready Educational Environment Measure (DREEM) is a widely used tool for assessing educational environments in health professions. However, its psychometric properties have not been sufficiently evaluated in the Moroccan context, particularly among nursing students. Objective: This study aimed to examine and validate the psychometric properties of the Arabic version of the DREEM scale in a sample of Moroccan nursing students. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between May and July 2023 among 445 undergraduate nursing students at the Higher Institute of Nursing Professions and Health Techniques in Meknes, Morocco. Data were collected using the Arabic-translated DREEM questionnaire. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was conducted to assess variance distribution, while Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was used to test model fit using key indices. Reliability was measured using Cronbach's alpha, and intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs) were calculated for test-retest reliability. Results: PCA confirmed a five-factor structure, with the first two principal components explaining 19.13% and 23.61% of the total variance. CFA results showed that the students' perceptions of learning (SPL) and academic atmosphere (SPA) subscales had good to acceptable fit, while the students' perceptions of teachers (SPT) and academic self-perception (SASP) subscales demonstrated moderate to marginal fit. The Arabic DREEM scale exhibited good internal consistency, with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.87. Sociodemographic factors, including gender, scholarship status, and rural-urban background, influenced students' perceptions of their educational environment. Conclusion: This study confirmed the reliability and validity of the Arabic version of the DREEM scale for assessing nursing students' educational environments in Morocco. However, variability in model fit across subscales suggests the need for further refinement to enhance cultural adaptation. Findings highlight disparities in teaching quality, academic support, and student engagement, emphasizing the importance of improving teacher-student interactions, interactive teaching methods, and social support systems to enhance learning outcomes.
