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

AIMS AND

objectivesTo translate the Occupational Coping Self-Efficacy Scale for Nurses (OCSE-N) into a simplified Chinese version and test its reliability and validity among the Chinese nursing population.

backgroundCoping self-efficacy beliefs are important self-appraisals of one's capability to cope with challenging situations. Using a reliable and valid instrument to assess nurses' coping self-efficacy is essential. However, in previous studies in China, a specific scale to assess nurses' occupational coping self-efficacy was not available.

designCross-sectional study.

methodsIn total, 1172 of 1200 nursing staff selected by convenience sampling from 5 public hospitals in Shenzhen completed the investigation. The OCSE-N was translated and adapted using the Brislin translation-back translation method. Then, the internal consistency of the OCSE-N-CHI was measured by Cronbach's alpha. The construct validity of the OCSE-N-CHI was analysed by exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).

resultsThe Cronbach's alpha of the OCSE-N-CHI was 0.882, and the test-retest reliability was 0.991 (95% CI: 0.985-0.993, p < 0.01). The correlation coefficients of each item and the total score were 0.482-0.683 (p < 0.01). After exploratory factor analysis, the scale extracted 2 common factors with a cumulative variance contribution of 67.508% and a commonality of 0.524-0.860 for each entry. The empirical factor analysis of each fit index met the recommended criteria. Statistical differences existed in the occupational coping self-efficacy scores of nurses with different marital statuses, different levels of satisfaction with their jobs, as well as their income, and different average numbers of night shifts per week.

conclusionThe reliability and validity of the OCSE-N-CHI are good, and it can be used as an assessment tool to evaluate the occupational coping self-efficacy of nursing staff in China. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: The OCSE-N-CHI can be completed by participants in less than 2 min and is considered a convenient and reliable measure of occupational coping self-efficacy for nurses. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: After participants signed an informed consent form, questionnaires were completed in a conference room. The questionnaires were collected and entered in pairs in the office, and the data were analysed. Finally, the articles were written and revised.
