Psychometric validation of the Taiwanese nurse burnout scale.
Article in BMC psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundNurse burnout has a negative impact on nurse retention, well-being, and the quality of patient care. The differences in healthcare systems and cultures also lead to the differences in perceptions of nurses burnout. The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity and reliability of the nurse burnout scale, a context-specific instrument for Taiwanese nurses.
methodsThis methodological study was conducted in three medical centers across Taiwan using secondary data from a National Science Council project. The Taiwan Nurse Burnout Scale (TNBS) was developed through literature review, qualitative interviews, expert validation, and pilot testing. Psychometric evaluation included exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses to assess construct validity, and reliability. Data were analyzed using SPSS and JASP to ensure the scale’s validity and reliability for assessing burnout among Taiwanese clinical nurses.
resultsThe sample size of the final analytic sample was 529 nurses who were recruited in three medical Centers in Taiwan. A nine-factor and 42-item version of the Taiwanese Nurse Burnout Scale (TNBS) did not demonstrate the best fit indices in the confirmatory analysis, which led to the accounting of an alternative structural model. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) of the revised scale resulted in a five-factor, 19-item solution that explained 73.2 per cent. of the total variance. A following confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) indicated acceptable fit, where the standardized loadings ranged between.58 to.95, average variance extracted (AVE) ranged between 0.58 and.85, the composite reliability was between.85 and. 94 and the Cronbach’s α 0.92 of the entire scale, thus validating the construct validity and reliability of the instrument.
conclusionsThe five-dimensional, 19-item Taiwan Nurse Burnout Scale (TNBS) is indicated to have a strong psychometric face, thus making it an effective and reliable tool in the evaluation of burnout among Taiwanese clinical nursing groups.
