Psychometric Evaluation of the Anxiety Assessment Scale for Pregnant Women in Labor in an Iranian Population.
Article in Iranian journal of nursing and midwifery research. 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
Background: Anxiety Assessment Scale for pregnant women in labor (AASPWL), which includes nine items in two subdomains, has been designed as the first specific tool for assessing the anxiety of pregnant mothers in labor. Anxiety is one of the most common psychological complications of mothers in labor and one of the factors affecting the experience of childbirth and maternal delivery satisfaction. Until now, a questionnaire concerning women's anxiety in labor has not yet been used in Iran. This tool can better determine maternal anxiety compared to other general tools and help take necessary measures if needed; however, its validity and reliability have not been determined. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of AASPWL in Iranian women. Materials and Methods: Through purposive sampling, 180 pregnant women hospitalized for labor between 2021 and 2022 were included in the study. AASPWL was evaluated regarding face and content validity using a quantitative method and construct validity (through confirmatory factor analyses). The questionnaire's reliability was determined using the internal consistency method. Results: In this study, the Content Validity Index (CVI) and Content Validity Ratio (CVR) of the AASPWL instrument were 0.96 and 0.97, respectively. The impact score of all items was above 1.5. The values of the fit indices confirmed the validity of the model. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.72 for factor 1, 0.66 for factor 2, and 0.65 for the whole instrument. Conclusions: The Persian version of AASPWL is a reliable and trustworthy tool for evaluating labor anxiety regarding Iranian women.
