Cultural Adaptation and Psychometric Properties of the Greek Version of the Diabetes Attitude Scale (DAS-3).

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
The knowledge and attitudes of nurses caring for patients with diabetes mellitus should be regularly evaluated using reliable and valid instruments to identify any knowledge gaps and address any negative attitudes, allowing for the implementation of targeted skill development. The aim of this study was to test the validity and reliability of the Greek translation of the Diabetes Attitudes Scale (DAS-3) questionnaire. A total of 278 conveniently selected undergraduate nursing students participated in the survey and were administered a questionnaire of sociodemographic and clinical data, the Diabetes Knowledge Test tool and the DAS-3. Factor analysis revealed 4 factors explaining 50% of the variability of the DAS-3; the value of strict glucose control (Cronbach's α = 0.86), the need for special training (Cronbach's α = 0.63), the psychosocial impact of diabetes (Cronbach's α = 0.68), and finally the respect for patient autonomy (Cronbach's α = 0.65). The overall Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient found for the DAS-3 questionnaire was 0.75 indicating good internal reliability. The values of the Pearson correlation coefficients in test-retest assessment varied for the four factors from 0.71 to 0.90 and reflected a moderate to very strong correlation. The good reliability and validity of the DAS-3 contribute to the evaluation of the attitudes of health professionals towards diabetes, becoming a future motivation for improving educational programs.
