Patient Mobilisation Attitudes and Beliefs Survey-Intensive Care Unit: Turkish Validation and Reliability Study.
Article in Nursing open, 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
purposeTo assess the psychometric properties of the Turkish 'Patient Mobilization Attitudes & Beliefs Survey-ICU,' which was developed to identify the perceived barriers of healthcare professionals in mobilising patients in intensive care units.
methodsThe study was conducted from 3 December 2021 to 21 October 2023, methodologically. A total of 180 healthcare professionals, including 163 nurses, 12 physicians and five physiotherapists working in adult intensive care units of three tertiary hospitals in Türkiye, were recruited for the study. This study used translation-back-translation, the Davis method, confirmatory factor analysis, Cronbach's alpha and split-half test for validity and reliability of the scale.
resultsThe validity and reliability analyses revealed the removal of the 5th, 6th, 13th and 20th items from the original scale, and a 22-item scale structure with two subscales was obtained. The Spearman-Brown coefficient was 0.799, and the Guttman coefficient was calculated as 0.782. The Cronbach alpha coefficient of the scale is 0.818; of the knowledge and attitude subscales is 0.721, and of the behaviour subscale is 0.708.
conclusionThe psychometric characteristics of the Turkish Patient Mobilization Attitudes & Beliefs Survey-ICU are a valid and reliable tool for determining the barriers healthcare professionals perceive about the mobilisation of intensive care patients. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: Assessment of barriers to mobilisation of ICU patients will help nurses mobilise patients safely in the care routine, which will help reduce immobilisation complications. IMPACT: The use of scales in the evaluation of mobilisation in intensive care is limited. As a result of the research, the 'Patient Mobilization Attitudes & Beliefs Survey-ICU' scale was found to be a valid and reliable tool. This scale is important for healthcare professionals and patients to increase the mobilisation of intensive care patients. REPORTING
methodThe study was reported according to the EQUATOR GRRAS guideline. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: The study recruited healthcare professionals, including 163 nurses, 12 physicians and 5 physiotherapists, who were actively working in adult intensive care units. The study data was collected with 'Participant Information Form' and 'Patient Mobilization Attitudes & Beliefs Survey-ICU'. Participants were invited to engage in face-to-face interviews. Following an explanation of the study's objectives and criteria, verbal and written consent were obtained from 180 eligible healthcare professionals who volunteered to participate and completed the data collection forms.
