Psychometric Evaluation of Indonesian Version of the Somatic Symptom Scale-8 (ISSS-8).
Review in Journal of caring sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Somatic symptom disorders (SSDs) refer to a group of patients experiencing distressing physical symptoms accompanied by excessive thoughts, feelings, or behaviors related to these symptoms. SSDs are associated with various medical and psychiatric conditions, leading to significant healthcare costs. Therefore, early identification and intervention for SSD are crucial. The Somatic Symptom Scale-8 (SSS-8) is an efficient and valuable self-report instrument for assessing the burden of somatic symptoms. Therefore, this study has two main objectives; Firstly, translating the SSS-8 to suit the Indonesian population by creating the Indonesian version, known as ISSS-8, and secondly, comprehensively assessing the psychometric characteristics of the ISSS-8. Methods: The SSS-8 items was translated into Bahasa Indonesian using WHO translation method and produced ISSS-8. The second phase involved evaluating the scale's psychometric properties, including construct validity and reliability. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and Cronbach alpha testing was performed. Results: The Cronbach's alpha outcomes affirmed the reliability of ISSS-8 with score of α=0.627. Additionally, CFA confirmed the singular-factor structure of SSS-8 with fit model (χ Conclusion: The ISSS-8 proved to be a valid and reliable instrument for evaluating somatic symptoms in the adult population. It exhibited acceptable validity and reliability, consistent with prior research conducted in diverse cultural settings. These results affirm the effectiveness of ISSS-8 as a valuable screening tool for identifying somatic symptoms within the Indonesian-speaking population.
