Psychometric Evaluation and Cultural Adaptation of the Indonesian Version of the Knowledge About Schizophrenia Test (KAST) in Family Caregivers.

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
Purpose: The Knowledge about Schizophrenia Test (KAST) is a widely used instrument for assessing knowledge about schizophrenia. However, its applicability in diverse cultural contexts, such as Indonesia, necessitates validation due to potential variations in cultural beliefs and caregiving practices. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties and conduct a cultural adaptation of the Indonesian version of the KAST among family caregivers of individuals with schizophrenia in Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 94 family caregivers of schizophrenia patients from community settings. Item analysis, construct validity (using known-group comparison and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA)), and internal consistency reliability were assessed. Results: Item analysis indicated acceptable discriminant power for most items, with Pearson correlation coefficients ≥0.3, except for item 17 (0.237). Known-group validity, assessed via the Mann-Whitney Conclusion: The culturally adapted Indonesian version of the KAST demonstrated robust psychometric properties, making it a reliable and valid instrument for assessing schizophrenia knowledge among family caregivers in Indonesia.
