Adaptation and psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Nurses' competency in anticipatory grief counselling scale.
Article in BMC nursing, 2026. 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
backgroundNurses have duties, authorities, and responsibilities related to palliative care, education and counseling services for individuals and families with terminal illnesses, and assistance to grieving individuals and families. The study evaluates the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Nurses’ Competency in Anticipatory Grief Counseling Scale (AGCCS-TR).
methodsThis methodological study was conducted using cross-sectional data collection. The sample of the study consisted of nurses working in intensive care, palliative care and oncology clinics of three public hospitals. The sample size was determined as five times the number of items (n = 265). A total of 295 nurses participated in the study with retesting sample. Expert opinions and factor analysis examined the scale’s content and structural validity. Cronbach’s alpha coefficients were calculated for internal consistency analysis and test-retest reliability for invariance over time.
resultsThe content validity index was between 0.87 and 0.94 for I-CVI and 0.93 for S-CVI. Cronbach’s alpha internal consistency coefficient for the AGCCS-TR was 0.98. The scale presented a structure with three factors and 51 items. Factor 1 was named as Nursing Competence in Diagnosing Anticipatory Grief, Factor 2 as Personal Competence in Anticipatory Grief Counseling and Factor 3 as Competence in Interdisciplinary Collaboration in Anticipatory Grief Counseling. The internal consistency coefficient of Factor 1 was 0.97, of Factor 2 was 0.96, and of Factor 3 was 0.91.
conclusionsIt was concluded that AGCCS-TR can be used as a valid and reliable tool in assessing the anticipatory grief counseling competencies of nurses. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
