Psychometric analysis of the Slovak version of the satisfaction with simulation experience scale (measurement invariance).

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
backgroundStudent satisfaction serves as a valuable education quality indicator, provides insights into areas that require improvement, and helps institutions enhance the overall educational experience. However, obtaining accurate and meaningful data requires the use of reliable and valid measurement methods and no such instrument designed to assess simulation satisfaction has previously been validated in Slovak language. The main aim of this study was to translate the Satisfaction with Simulation Experience scale into Slovak language and perform psychometric testing to examine psychometric properties of a proposed Slovak version for the first time. Additionally, for the first time, both the Slovak and English versions of the SSE scale were tested on medical students rather than nursing students.
objectiveThe instrument was tested on 797 students in the Slovak and English program of General Medicine at the Faculty of Medicine, Comenius University in Bratislava, evaluating their satisfaction with three newly implemented simulation scenarios which were added to the existing portfolio of simulation activities already integrated into the Biophysics, Physiology, and Microbiology courses.
designOur findings demonstrated high internal consistency across all subscales, as indicated by McDonald's omega and Cronbach's alpha values. Structural validity was assessed using confirmatory factor analysis, which provided robust evidence supporting the excellent fit of the three-factor SSE model. Additionally, measurement invariance analysis confirmed a strong model fit at each level, supporting partial measurement invariance across both student groups.
resultsThese results confirm that the SSE scale functions similarly in both students in the Slovak and English program, supporting its cross-cultural applicability and robustness in measuring medical students' satisfaction with simulation experience.
