Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the Role Performance Scale for Patient Safety Coordinators: Secondary Data Analysis.
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
aimTo develop and validate a scale for predicting and evaluating the role of patient safety coordinators by assessing construct validity and reliability using confirmatory factor analysis.
designA methodological study utilising secondary data analysis.
methodsThis methodological study used secondary data from online surveys of 132 patient safety coordinators in small- and medium-sized hospitals. The 25-item Role Performance Scale, covering four subscales, was validated through confirmatory factor analysis to assess structural validity. Reliability, convergent validity, and discriminant validity were also examined.
resultsThe developed 25-item Role Performance Scale comprised four subscales: Information collection and management, education-related tasks, patient safety improvement activities, and indicator management. The scale demonstrated strong reliability and validity, with construct reliability values exceeding 0.7 and convergent validity confirmed. Discriminant validity was established as the variance extracted values surpassed inter-factor correlations. The overall reliability of the scale was high, confirming internal consistency.
conclusionThe developed scale for patient safety coordinators demonstrated strong validity and reliability, offering an objective assessment method for evaluating key patient safety coordinator tasks and strengthening professional competencies to enhance patient safety systems.
