Development and psychometric properties of the Compassion Fatigue Assessment Scale for Indian nurses.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundCompassion fatigue is a significant concern for nurses because they are constantly exposed to suffering. This study aimed to develop and validate a Compassion Fatigue Assessment Scale for Indian nurses.
methodsA quantitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional design was used to evaluate the psychometric properties, including the validity and reliability of the developed tool. A total of 200 nurses from two government and two private hospitals participated in the study between February and June 2022. Data were collected using a sociodemographic sheet, the Compassion Fatigue Assessment Scale, and the Professional Quality of Life Scale. Construct validity was assessed using principal component analysis, followed by examination of inter-domain correlations, while convergent validity was established using the Professional Quality of Life Scale. Reliability was tested using Cronbach's α.
resultsPrincipal component analysis with varimax rotation identified a ten-factor structure across the 36 items, explaining 60.34% of the variance. The extracted domains included "dissatisfaction and burnout," "lack of emotions and sensitivity", "lack of interest," "secondary stress", "hopelessness," worthlessness, "overwhelming," "lack of compassion", "incompetency," and "lack of productivity." The overall Cronbach's alpha was 0.88, with the subscale scores ranging from 0.70 to 0.91. The test-retest intra-class correlation coefficient was 0.93, indicating good stability.
conclusionsThe Compassion Fatigue Assessment Scale demonstrated strong construct validity and internal consistency, making it a reliable tool for assessing and monitoring compassion fatigue among Indian nurses in research and professional settings.
