Psychometric properties of the Persian version of the hospitalized older adults' dignity scale for measuring dignity during acute hospitalization.
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
backgroundProviding dignified care is an essential aspect of high-quality nursing, and upholding patients' dignity is emphasized in the professional standards for nurses. This research evaluated the reliability and validity of the Persian version of the Dignity of the Elderly in Acute Hospitalization Scale (HOADS-P) for assessing dignity during acute hospitalization.
methodsThe HOADS was translated into Persian using the forward-backward method. A panel of ten older adults and experts assessed face and content validity. Construct validity was established through Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) involving 400 hospitalized older adults aged 60 years and older.
resultsThe EFA found that the HOADS-P exhibited five latent factors, explaining 63.15% of the overall variance. Also, these factors were confirmed by CFA (CMIN = 123.872, DF = 79, p < 0.001, CMIN/DF = 1.568, RMSEA = 0.042, GFI = 0.953, CFI = 0.987, NFI = 0.966, RFI = 0.954, and PCFI = 0.743). Additionally, the HOADS-P demonstrated strong reliability, as indicated by a Cronbach's alpha coefficient (α) of 0.946.
conclusionThe Persian version of the Dignity of the Elderly in Acute Hospitalization Scale (HOADS-P) is a valid and reliable tool for assessing dignity during acute hospitalization in Iranian health service centers.
