Development and Preliminary Testing of the Healthy Transition Scale for Patients Undergoing Haemodialysis.
Article in International journal of nursing practice, 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
purposeThis study aimed to develop a scale to measure healthy transitions in patients undergoing haemodialysis.
methodsTwenty-seven preliminary items of the Healthy Transition Scale to Haemodialysis (HTS-HD) were identified through a literature review and in-depth interviews with patients undergoing haemodialysis. Of these, 25 items demonstrated content validity. To verify the reliability and validity of the preliminary scale, questionnaires were administered to 234 in-centre patients undergoing haemodialysis. The data were analysed using item analysis, exploratory factor analysis, convergent and discriminant validity and concurrent validity. Internal consistency and reliability were tested using Cronbach's α coefficient.
resultsThe final version of HTS-HD consisted of 19 items. Four factors were extracted: independent participation, subjective well-being, acceptance and integration and active information seeking and coping. These were verified through convergent and discriminant validity. The concurrent validity was confirmed using the Psychological Adaptation Scale (PAS). The overall Cronbach's α was 0.88.
conclusionSince the developed scale is valid and reliable, the HTS-HD can be used to develop nursing interventions to improve the healthy transition of patients undergoing haemodialysis.
