Turkish adaptation of the student survey on writing nursing care plans: a validity and reliability study.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundThe increasing complexity of healthcare requires nursing students to acquire both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Nursing care plans are essential for developing clinical competence and bridging the gap between theory and practice. However, many student care plans remain incomplete or lack patient-centred outcomes, highlighting the need for valid tools to assess competence. Currently, no such instrument exists in Turkey.
aimThis study aims to translate the 'Student Survey on Writing Nursing Care Plans', which was developed to evaluate nursing students' attitudes towards writing nursing care plans, into Turkish, and to examine the validity and reliability of the translated version.
methodThis methodological study, conducted in April 2025, involved 362 undergraduate nursing students enrolled at Sivas Cumhuriyet University in Turkey. The majority of participants were female second-year students with a mean age of 20.9 years. The scale was evaluated through translation and back-translation, as well as apparent, content and construct validity and reliability analyses.
resultsThe item-total correlation coefficients ranged from 0.656 to 0.894. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the model fit was acceptable (χ²/df = 3.253; RMSEA = 0.079; CFI = 0.944; TLI = 0.939; NFI = 0.921). The factor loadings of the items ranged from 0.658 to 0.906. The scale exhibited excellent internal consistency, with Cronbach's alpha equalling 0.98.
conclusionThe findings suggest that the Turkish version of the 'Student Survey on Writing Nursing Care Plans' is a valid and reliable measurement tool. It is recommended as a suitable instrument for evaluating the care plan development skills of nursing students within the nursing education process. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING EDUCATION AND PRACTICE: The Turkish version of the 'Student Survey on Writing Nursing Care Plans' is a valid and reliable tool for evaluating the skills of nursing students in writing care plans. It helps to identify areas where students are particularly struggling, such as planning and evaluation, and supports the development of targeted educational strategies. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
