The practice environment scale of the nursing work index short form in Turkish: a psychometric study.
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
backgroundThe work environment is a concept encompassing factors that increase or decrease a nurse's ability to practice the nursing profession competently and provide high-quality care. This study aims to adapt the short form of the Nursing Work Index-Nursing Work Environment Assessment Scale, which is used in many countries to evaluate the nursing work environment, to Turkish.
methodsThe study sample consisted of 711 nurses. For this study, data were collected from the researchers' personal social media accounts (WhatsApp, LinkedIn, and Instagram) between October and December of 2024. The Turkish version of the short form of the Practice Environment Scale from the Nursing Work Environment Index was used to collect the data. After creating the Turkish version of the instrument through translation and back-translation and collecting data, the researchers conducted content validity analyses, construct validity tests, and internal consistency analyses to assess the instrument's psychometric properties.
resultsThe items' content validity ratios were 0.93, and correlation coefficients varied between 0.605 and 0.523. The one structure accounted for 56.122% of the total variance. PES-5 scale findings: χ²/df 3.76, CFI 0.973, TLI 0.946, SRMR 0.031, RMSEA 0.090, CR 0.62. The standardized factor loadings for the scale items ranged from 0.610 to 0.743. The scale was compatible with its five items and one-factor structure The items' standardized factor loadings ranged from 0.370 to 0.575. The Cronbach's alpha consistency value was 0.804.
conclusionA short form of the practice environment scale of the Nursing Work Index is a valid and reliable tool in Turkish.
