Preliminary validation of an Italian version of the Athlete Burnout 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
Introduction: Burnout in athletes is a growing concern in sport environments. There is a need for a psychometrically sound assessment tool to examine this phenomenon in Italian sport contexts. The purpose of the present study was to examine the psychometric properties of an Italian version of the Athlete Burnout Questionnaire. Methods: A sample of 255 athletes (M = 23.7, SD = 4.1; 32.9% women) of varied sports completed an Italian version of the ABQ along with measures assessing distress and resilience. The factor structure of the test was inspected by comparing the fit of three confirmatory factor analysis models. Internal consistency of the questionnaire was inspected, as was its construct validity. Results: The confirmatory factor analysis showed that the first-order model with three correlated factors presented an acceptable fit to the data and a better fit compared to the alternative models. The results also showed scores on the respective burnout dimensions to have good internal consistency. Furthermore, the pattern of relationships of the ABQ subscales with the measures of distress and resilience supported the construct validity of the Italian version of the ABQ. As expected, the three dimensions of burnout were significantly positively correlated with distress and significantly negatively correlated (or non-correlated) with resilience. Conclusion: These findings support the three-factor multidimensional model of burnout, offering preliminary evidence for the reliability and validity of an Italian version of the ABQ.
