The Prejudice toward People with Borderline Personality Disorder Scale in a healthcare provider sample.
Article in The International journal of social psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundAlthough many instruments aiming to measure attitudes toward people with borderline personality disorder (BPD) exist, most demonstrate limited evidence of construct validity.
aimsTo evaluate the psychometric properties of the Prejudice toward People with Borderline Personality Disorder (PPBPD) scale in a sample of healthcare providers (HCPs) and expand the nomological network of prejudice toward people with BPD.
methodA survey containing the PPBPD scale and related measures was completed by 593 HCPs who provided services for people with BPD.
resultsConfirmatory factor analysis supported the four-factor structure, comprising fear/avoidance, malevolence, authoritarianism, and unpredictability. Differential associations were found between the four PPBPD factors and correlates, such as knowledge of BPD, belief in treatment effectiveness and patient recovery, prior contact with patients who have BPD, and empathy.
conclusionsThe results provided evidence for the validity and psychometric properties of the PPBPD in a sample of HCPs and support its utility in measuring attitudes toward people with BPD. The expansion of the PPBPD's nomological network improves understanding of how this prejudice may be maintained, and reduced, in healthcare settings. This research will contribute to efforts in developing and implementing interventions to support HCPs and reduce prejudice toward people living with BPD.
