Translation, Cultural Adaptation and Preliminary Psychometric Testing of the Managerial Ethical Profile Scale for Finnish Health and Social Care Sector.

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
backgroundThe Managerial Ethical Profile (MEP) scale was developed to measure the perceived impact of different elements of common ethical frameworks on managerial ethical decision-making.
aimTo translate, culturally adapt and perform preliminary psychometric testing of the MEP scale in the Finnish health and social care sector.
designThe MEP scale was translated and culturally adapted according to the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR) protocol based on a cross-sectional online survey.
participantsFinnish health and social care managers and experts. ETHICAL CONSIDERATION: Research permits were obtained from all participating organisations in accordance with the organisations' guidelines. Participation was voluntary and participants gave informed consent.
methodsTranslation and cultural adaptation of the Finnish version of the MEP scale (MEP-Fin) was performed and perceived relevance and content validity were assessed. An online survey was distributed to homecare service managers in 2022, and a total of 68 managers participated. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics (means, standard deviations, Pearson's correlation coefficients and Cronbach's alphas).
resultsThe translation, cultural adaptation and preliminary psychometric testing process identified issues regarding the understanding of the MEP scale in the Finnish context. The MEP-Fin showed high overall content validity (S-CVI/Ave 0.91). The mean score for the comprehensibility of the scale was 8.4. Content validity was high for all individual items (I-CVI range: 0.56 to 1.00), except for one item (0.38). The Cronbach's alphas for the eight subscales were between 0.51 and 0.93, and for the whole scale, 0.84.
conclusionsThe systematic translation and cultural adaptation process resulted in a conceptually equal MEP-Fin, which was perceived as thorough and relevant. It showed good coverage, content validity and internal consistency. Preliminary psychometric testing provided information on the characteristics of the MEP-Fin for validation. Further studies with larger data sets and different cultures are needed.
