Psychometric evaluation of the Chinese version of the Caregiver-Centered Communication Questionnaire (CCCQ) in caregivers of cancer patients.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
backgroundScientific assessment is a crucial first step in establishing effective communication between healthcare teams and caregivers. Given the lack of reliable and effective tools to comprehensively assess the quality of communication between healthcare teams and caregivers of cancer patients in China. This study aimed to translated and culturally adapted the Caregiver-Centered Communication Questionnaire (CCCQ) and assessed its psychometric properties in caregivers of cancer patients in China.
methodsCCCQ was translated into Chinese following Brislin’s model and culturally adapted according to a Delphi expert panel. Then pretested and refined the Chinese versions of the CCCQ (CCCQ-C) among 10 caregivers. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 600 caregivers of cancer patients from October to December 2024. Psychometric properties of CCCQ-C were evaluated exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), McDonald’s omega coefficient, and test-retest reliability.
resultsThe CCCQ-C demonstrated strong content validity (I-CVI = 0.800 ~ 1.000, S-CVI = 0.980) and internal consistency (McDonald’s omega = 0.965). EFA identified five factors explaining 71.014% cumulative variance, while CFA confirmed good model fit. Test-retest reliability was excellent (r = 0.820, ICC = 0.806). The overall questionnaire remained unchanged in terms of 5 dimensions and 30 items during the process of translation and validation.
conclusionIn China’s medical environment for cancer patients, CCCQ-C demonstrates acceptable psychometric properties, making it a reliable and effective assessment tool for evaluating communication between healthcare teams and caregivers. This provides valuable guidance for future practice, research and policy making.
