Development and validation of the perceived compassion scale: a reliable tool for assessing patient-centered nursing care.

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
aimTo develop and validate the perceived compassion scale in nursing care to measure compassion from the patient’s perspective.
backgroundCompassion in nursing care is a Professional value that affects nurses’ decision-making and actions. It contributes to excellence in nursing practice and facilitates nursing care.
methodsThis study, designed as a methodological type, was conducted with 398 patients between October and March 2023. The study utilized the Personal Information Form, and a draft version of the Perceived compassion in nursing care as data collection instruments. The collected data were analyzed to assess validity and reliability. Validity analyses included content validity, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Reliability was evaluated through Cronbach’s Alpha and the split-half method. Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS 22 and AMOS. EFA was performed with the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) test and Bartlett’s test (KMO = 1284.5, P = 0.000), applying varimax rotation, while CFA verified the factor structure. Pearson correlation analysis was used to determine criterion validity.
resultsThe content validity index for the scale reviewed by the expert panel was 0.80. In the component analysis, all item factor loadings exceeded 0.30, and the explained variance was 51.71%. The x²/SD ratio ranged from 2.37. Fit indices such as GFI, AGFI, CFI, NFI, TLI, IFI, PGFI, and PNFI ranged between 0.68 and 0.94. The RMSEA and SRMR values were both 0.068 in the confirmatory factor analysis. The Cronbach’s α coefficient for the scale, which includes two sub-dimensions and 19 items, was 0.922, with sub-dimension Cronbach’s α values ranging from 0.921 to 0.931.
conclusionsThe Scale of Perceived Compassion in Nursing Care is a valid and reliable tool for assessing the impact of perceived compassion in nursing care from the patient’s perspective. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING POLICY: The Perceived Compassion Scale provides a foundation for policies emphasizing patient-centered care and integrating compassion metrics into healthcare quality assessments. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
