Psychometric properties of the Hebrew version of brief mindful self-care scale: A translation and validation study.
Article in PloS one, 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
backgroundMindful self-care (MSC) integrates mindfulness into daily routines to enhance physical, mental, and emotional well-being. MSC is vital for nurses due to the high-stress nature of their work, which often leads to burnout and compassion fatigue. The Brief Mindful Self-Care Scale (BMSCS) was developed to measure MSC across six domains. However, there is limited research on MSC in Israeli nurses, and no Hebrew version of the BMSCS has been validated.
objectivesThis study aimed to translate and validate the Hebrew version of the BMSCS and assess its psychometric properties among Israeli nurses.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted with 845 nurses recruited via a convenience sample. The BMSCS was translated into Hebrew using forward and backward translation. Psychometric analyses included exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses (EFA and CFA), item discrimination, and internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha). Data were analysed using R software.
resultsEFA using maximum likelihood estimation with Promax rotation revealed a six-factor solution accounting for 49% of the total variance. CFA results confirmed the model fit after excluding two low-loading items (PC2 and PC6), with goodness-of-fit indices meeting predefined criteria (e.g., RMSEA = 0.049, CFI = 0.949). The Cronbach's alpha for the total scale was 0.87, with subscale reliability ranging from 0.70 to 0.89. Subscale correlations supported the internal structure.
conclusionsThe Hebrew BMSCS demonstrated strong psychometric properties, providing a reliable and structurally sound tool for assessing MSC in Israeli nurses. This instrument can guide interventions to enhance nurses' well-being and inform future research in high-stress healthcare settings.
