Vaccination Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices Among Healthcare Students in Spain: Development and Psychometric Validation of a Life-Course Immunization Questionnaire.

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
Vaccine hesitancy represents a threat to immunization programs and herd immunity. Our objective was to validate a Spanish-language questionnaire to assess knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of students in the healthcare field regarding vaccination and the immunization schedule.
methodsAn online questionnaire was developed and distributed via RedCap v.13.7.1 to healthcare students undertaking clinical placements at the University Hospital of Santiago de Compostela during the 2024-2025 academic year. The questionnaire assessed nine dimensions through thirty-four items. Validation was carried out in two phases: (1) translation and expert content validation, and (2) reliability testing using Cronbach's alpha and validity assessment through principal component analysis (PCA).
resultsA total of 398 students completed the questionnaire. The mean age was 23.78 ± 3.77 years. Of these, 19.60% were men (n = 80) and 77.50% were women (n = 316). Validation of the questionnaire was carried out with a random sample of 294 students. The final 30-item questionnaire demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.83) and construct validity, confirmed by PCA, supporting the presence of nine dimensions that explained 60.93% of the total variance. Overall, 74.70% of students reported that scientific evidence was the main influence on their opinion about vaccines. Regarding practices, 76.10% believed that certain vaccines should be mandatory for healthcare personnel.
conclusionsThe questionnaire demonstrated reliability and validity for evaluating KAP on vaccination among future healthcare professionals. Having this instrument available will help guide future educational interventions and strengthen their role as trusted agents in immunization.
