Polish Adaptation of the Nurse Professional Competence Scale.
Article in Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical 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
BACKGROUND Professional competence is essential to high-quality nursing care. The aim of this study was to culturally and linguistically adapt the Nurse Professional Competence Short Form Scale (NPC-SF) to the Polish context and to evaluate its psychometric properties. MATERIAL AND METHODS A methodological study was conducted among Polish registered nurses (N=441) using a standardized translation and cultural adaptation process in accordance with World Health Organization (WHO) and International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR) guidelines. The content validity of the Polish version (NPC-SF-PL) was assessed using the Content Validity Index (CVI). Construct validity was evaluated through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and internal consistency was measured using Cronbach's alpha coefficients. RESULTS The Polish version of the NPC-SF demonstrated strong psychometric properties. Content validity was confirmed with a Scale Content Validity Index/Average of 0.94, and item-level agreement exceeded the recommended threshold (Item Content Validity Index, I-CVI ≥0.78). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) supported the original 6-dimensional structure, with excellent model fit indices (Comparative Fit Index, CFI=0.992; Tucker-Lewis Index, TLI=0.991; Standardized Root Mean Square Residual, SRMR=0.065). Internal consistency was high (Cronbach's alpha=0.901-0.964), confirming reliability. CONCLUSIONS The Polish adaptation of the NPC-SF is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing professional nursing competence. Its strong validity and reliability confirm the suitability of the Polish NPC-SF for use in Poland. The scale's robust psychometric performance supports its application in both clinical practice and educational evaluation within the Polish healthcare context.
