Translation and psychometric evaluation of the Chinese version of the arterial puncture self-efficacy scale.
Article in BMC nursing, 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
backgroundArterial blood gases (ABG) analysis is an indispensable yet difficult-to-perform skill in nursing practice. In the acquisition of this skill, nurses' self-efficacy plays a crucial role. Nevertheless, there is presently a shortage of a dependable tool for assessing the self-efficacy of Chinese nurses when it comes to performing arterial punctures for ABG analysis.
objectivesTo translate and psychometrically validate the Arterial Puncture Self-Efficacy Scale (APSES) for health professionals in China.
methodsA cross-sectional methodological study was employed. From January 2022 to September 2022, a convenience sample of 304 nurses was recruited from Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital through an online questionnaire. Internal consistency reliability, test-retest reliability, split-half reliability, construct validity, and content validity of the APSES-C were analyzed using psychometric testing.
resultsThe APSES-C retained 16 items after modification and comprises two components: preparation of patient and material, and arterial puncture and sample management. Overall, the APSES-C indicated acceptable internal consistency coefficients (Cronbach's α: 0.86), a good test-retest reliability within a 4-week interval (intraclass correlation coefficient: 0.75), and satisfactory content validity (I-CVI = 0.8-1.0, S-CVI = 0.95). Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the modified two-factor structure of the 16-item APSES-C presented a good model fit to the data analysis revealed that the modified two-factor structure of the APSES-C presented a good model fit to the data.
conclusionsThis study suggested that the 16-item APSES-C is a reliable tool for assessing Chinese health professionals' self-efficacy toward arterial punctures for ABG analysis, which may help enhance arterial puncture skills in the context of Chinese nursing practice. The APSES-C may serve as a practical tool for nursing educators to identify skill gaps in arterial puncture training and develop targeted interventions to enhance clinical competence among Chinese nurses.
