Care competency scale for family caregivers in home palliative care: Turkish adaptation, validity, and reliability study.
Article in BMC palliative care, 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
backgroundPalliative care aims to improve the quality of life of patients with life-threatening illnesses and their families. In home-based palliative care, family members often assume primary caregiving roles, making the assessment of their caregiving competence essential for safe and effective care. This study aimed to adapt the Care Competency Scale for Family Caregivers in Home Palliative Care (CCSHPC) into Turkish and evaluate its psychometric properties.
methodsA methodological study was conducted with primary caregivers of patients receiving home-based palliative care. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews in participants’ homes. The psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the CCSHPC were evaluated using content validity, construct validity, and reliability analyses.
resultsThe Turkish version of the CCSHPC demonstrated satisfactory content validity. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported a stable six-factor structure consistent with the original scale. The scale showed acceptable internal consistency and test–retest reliability, indicating that it provides valid and reliable measurements of caregiving competence in the Turkish context.
conclusionThe Turkish version of the CCSHPC is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing caregiving competence among family caregivers in home-based palliative care. The scale can be used in clinical practice to identify caregivers’ educational and support needs and to guide the development of targeted nursing interventions.
