Turkish adaptation of the nurses' sexual harassment scale: validity and reliability study.

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
The aim of this study is to adapt the Nurses’ Sexual Harassment Scale, originally developed in Iran, into Turkish and to determine its validity and reliability. This methodological study was conducted with a sample of 288 nurses working in various healthcare institutions across Turkey. Data were collected via online platforms between December 2024 and February 2025 using a survey form that included socio-demographic questions, the Nurses’ Sexual Harassment Scale, and the Scale of Sexual Harassment Behavior from Patients or Clients toward Healthcare Workers. Data were collected from the sample group using convenience sampling method. For linguistic validation, the translation-back translation method was applied. Construct validity was analysed by exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, and internal consistency was evaluated using Cronbach’s alpha scores. The data were analyzed by using SPSS 23.00 and AMOS software. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a two-factor structure—Latent Sexual Harassment and Manifest Sexual Harassment—comprising 15 items. The eigenvalues for the two factors were 13.43 and 1.57, explaining 89.541% and 10.459% of the total variance, respectively. Item loadings ranged between 0.416 and 0.899. The confirmatory factor analysis results showed that CMIN/DF was 5.447, RMR was 0.044, GFI was 0.800, and AGFI was 0.730. Fit indices such as NFI (0.912), TLI (0.913), and CFI (0.926) were all above 0.90, while RMSEA was 0.091. The overall internal consistency of the scale was high (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.961). Subscale reliability was also strong, with alpha values of 0.975 for Latent Sexual Harassment and 0.973 for Manifest Sexual Harassment. These findings support that the Turkish version of the Nurses’ Sexual Harassment Scale is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing sexual harassment experiences among nurses.
