Knowledge, attitude, and practice of vasoactive agents infusions: Development and psychometric properties of a questionnaire with chinese clinical nurses.
Article in PloS one, 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
backgroundInconsistencies with guidelines or standards regarding nurses' practice of vasoactive agent infusion have been documented. Adequate knowledge and positive attitudes are critical for compliance. However, there are currently no validated tools specifically designed to measure the knowledge and attitudes related to vasoactive agent infusions among nurses.
objectiveThe aim of this study was to develop and test the validity and reliability of the Chinese mainland version of Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice of Vasoactive Agents Infusions Questionnaire among nurses.
methodsThe initial questionnaire items were developed through a comprehensive literature review, expert consultation, and pilot study. From February to June 2024, cross-sectional data were collected using convenience sampling from 538 nurses across 9 hospitals in Sichuan Province, China. The reliability and validity of the scale were evaluated through internal consistency reliability, inter-rater reliability, exploratory factor analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis.
resultsThe final version of the questionnaire included 33 items across 3 dimensions, explaining 78.04% of the variance, with item loadings ranging from 0.56 to 0.89. The content validity index ranged from 0.91 to 1.00, and the scale-level content validity index was 0.98.The overall Cronbach's α for the questionnaire was 0.96, with Cronbach's α for each dimension ranging from 0.96 to 0.98. The test-retest reliability for the entire questionnaire was 0.90, and for each dimension, it ranged from 0.90 to 0.94 (p < 0.05). The confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated acceptable fit indices for the three-dimensional model: χ²/(df) = 1.135, p = 0.200, RMSEA = 0.024, CFI = 0.986, TLI = 0.985, GFI = 0.884, and NFI = 0.895.
conclusionThe Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice of Vasoactive Agents Infusions Questionnaire demonstrates good reliability and validity, making it a reliable measurement tool for assessing nurses' attitudes and knowledge related to vasoactive agents' infusions. This version will facilitate further research and advancements in this specific field of study.
