Translation and validation of the childbearing questionnaire for the nursing population in the context of China's three-child policy: a multicenter cross-sectional study.

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
backgroundEven though massive population decline has become a major issue currently facing Chinese society, an academically recognized tool for evaluating the childbearing motivation of females of childbearing age in China is nonexistent.
aimsThe aim of this study was to translate and validate the Chinese version of the Childbearing Questionnaire (CBQ-C) and then test and implement the tool.
methodsA cross-sectional study of 1331 nurses and 620 nursing students was conducted. The improved Brislin's recommendations were followed in the translation, and validity was assessed using structural validity, content validity and convergent validity. Reliability was evaluated by internal consistency reliability, and the study was conducted and reported following the STROBE checklist and recommendations for reporting the results of tool development and testing studies.
resultsThe CBQ-C exhibits satisfactory construct validity, content validity and convergent validity. A two-factor (positive childbearing motivation and negative childbearing motivation) structure was obtained by exploratory factor analysis, with a total variance contribution of 69.25%. The Cronbach's alpha of the CBQ-C was 0.944, and the Cronbach's alpha values of the PCM and NCM dimensions were 0.966 and 0.963, respectively, indicating satisfactory internal consistency reliability. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis indicated an acceptable fit for the two-factor structure.
conclusionsThe 29-item CBQ-C is a valid and reliable tool with satisfactory psychometric properties, suggesting that the tool can be used to measure female nurses and nursing students' childbearing motivations in the context of China's three-child policy. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
