Cross-cultural adaptation, reliability, and validity of the Turkish version of moral courage scale for physicians.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
aimPhysicians, like other healthcare professionals, frequently encounter situations requiring moral courage in their professional lives. However, studies on the moral courage of physicians are limited in the literature. This study aims to evaluate the Turkish adaptation, validity, and reliability of the Moral Courage Scale for Physicians (MCSP) and to contribute to national and international studies on moral courage among physicians. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis methodological study involved the adaptation, validation, and reliability assessment of the MCSP in Turkish. The scale's internal consistency was evaluated using Cronbach's α coefficient, and the total correlation coefficients for the items were calculated. Test-retest reliability was assessed using a two-group design.
resultsThe Turkish version of the MCSP demonstrated high internal consistency, with a Cronbach's α coefficient of 0.91. The total correlation coefficients for the items ranged from 0.387 to 0.797. A significant positive correlation was found between the test and retest scores of the MCSP (p < 0.05).
conclusionThe Turkish version of the MCSP is a valid and reliable tool for assessing moral courage among physicians.
