Development and Validation of the Professional Fit Scale in Nursing.
Article in Nursing open, 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

designThis is a scale development and validation study.
methodsThis study was conducted in three phases: (1) creation of the items, (2) preliminary assessment of the items, and (3) assessment of the psychometric properties of the scale. The scale was tested using construct validity and reliability analyses after the assessment of content and face validity in accordance with the scale development guidelines. The data were collected between May and September 2021 from nurses working in Istanbul (n = 720).

conclusionThe scale, which was developed, evaluates the professional fit of nurses in nine fields: professional responsibility, interpersonal relations and care, problem solving, coping with stress, professional skills, continuous development, working conditions, professional achievement and professional autonomy. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND PATIENT CARE: Assessing the professional fit of nurses can contribute to the effective management of the healthcare workforce, increase the quality of nursing services and patient safety, which in turn may increase patient and community satisfaction. IMPACT: The scale is the first tool to measure nurses' professional fit. The scale demonstrates strong reliability, validity and psychometric properties. The developed scale can be used in identifying job mismatches and implementing improvements, career planning and shaping human resources policies.
