Breastfeeding self-efficacy scale in Haitian women for chile: cross-cultural adaptation and validation.
Article in Journal of health, population, and nutrition, 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
backgroundMigratory movements represent a global challenge, especially in public health, where cultural and linguistic barriers hinder care for vulnerable populations. In Chile, the Haitian community faces these limitations, which affect breastfeeding practices. Breastfeeding self-efficacy is a key predictor of success in this practice and is assessed by instruments such as the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF).
objectiveTo perform a cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric evaluation of the BSES-SF in Haitian Creole. DESIGN AND
methodsThe scale was translated following a rigorous process of translation and back-translation, cultural validation, and application in a sample of 76 pregnant Haitian women treated in two health centers in Talca, Chile. Reliability was assessed via Cronbach's alpha, and internal consistency was evaluated via intraclass correlation. Construct validity was assessed via exploratory factor analysis.
resultsThe scale showed high reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.943; intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.907). Factor analysis revealed two principal components that explained 70.14% of the total variance, with consistent values in both dimensions (Cronbach's alpha values of 0.901 and 0.906).
conclusionsThe Haitian version of the BSES-SF is valid and reliable, providing a tool to assess and strengthen breastfeeding self-efficacy. This study contributes to developing culturally sensitive interventions and reinforces the importance of inclusive strategies in public health. CLINICAL TRIAL: Not applicable.
