1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

aimTo translate, cross-culturally adapt, validate and psychometrically test the MISSCARE Survey-Patient for assessing patients' perspectives on missed nursing care (MNC) in a Danish hospital setting.

designA two-phase cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric validation study.

methodsThe study was conducted in two phases. First, the MISSCARE Survey-Patient was cross-culturally adapted to ensure its relevance in a Danish hospital context. This phase involved translation and back-translation, expert committee reviews and cognitive interviews with 18 inpatients to establish content validity. Second, a convenience sample of 284 patients from surgical and medical departments completed the adapted survey. Psychometric properties were evaluated using structural equation modelling to test a second-order formative model.

resultsThe cross-cultural adaptation phase led to minor and substantial revisions, including the addition of six new items to enhance content validity. These items addressed aspects of nursing care relevant to patients in the contemporary hospital setting that were not captured by the original survey. Structural equation modelling confirmed the second-order formative model and demonstrated robust psychometric properties.

conclusionThe MISSCARE Survey-Patient was successfully adapted and validated for use in Danish hospitals, ensuring strong content validity and psychometric robustness. IMPLICATION: The Danish version of the survey provides a valuable tool for assessing MNC from patients' perspectives in hospital settings. Its use can help identify specific areas where nursing care falls short, guiding targeted initiatives to enhance care quality and patient safety. By integrating patients' experiences into quality improvement initiatives, the survey supports the development of more person-centred care practices. REPORTING

methodThe study adhered to the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments reporting guideline for studies on measurement properties of patient-reported outcome measures. PATIENT CONTRIBUTION: Patients were not involved in the study's design, conduct, or reporting. IMPACT: The Danish version of the survey facilitates data collection on patients' perspectives of MNC in contemporary hospital settings, providing valuable insights into care quality. By offering a validated tool to assess MNC from patients' perspectives, the survey helps hospitals identify care gaps, prioritise improvement efforts and enhance person-centred care.
