Development of health workers' attitude scale towards quality studies: validity and reliability study.
Article in BMC health services research, 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
backgroundIt is known that quality studies increase satisfaction, positively affect productivity and support corporate development. This methodological study aims to develop a scale that measures the attitudes of healthcare professionals toward quality studies.
methodsA methodological study using instrument-development and instrument verification phases. The research universe was composed of health workers working in 5 hospitals in Istanbul (N = 6308), and the sample was composed of health workers who agreed to participate in the research (n = 1013). The researchers followed the scale development stages: item pooling, expert opinion, preliminary application, validity, and reliability.
resultsKMO and Bartlett’s test values of scale showed that the dataset was convenient for factor analyses (KMO = 0.976, Chi-Square = 20624.814, df = 861). In exploratory factor analysis, the 42 items comprising scale were distributed in three subscales. The confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the scale was in sufficient model fit. Cronbach’s alpha of the total scale was 0.976.
conclusionThe “Attitude of Health Workers towards Quality Studies” scale was determined to be valid and reliable. This scale could serve as a comprehensive tool for evaluating quality initiatives in healthcare. It could possess the capacity to bring together different institutions (public, private, university) in a way that fosters mutual growth. The assessment of healthcare quality initiatives could pave the way for inclusive improvements to be planned. Through all the planned enhancements, both patient and employee satisfaction can be enhanced.
