Translation, cultural adaptation, and psychometric testing of the measure for unfinished care among nursing assistants in long-term care homes in China.

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
Objective: To translate and culturally adapt the Basel Extent of Rationing of Nursing Care for Nursing Homes (BERNCA-NH) into Chinese and to examine its preliminary psychometric properties among nursing assistants working in Chinese long-term care (LTC) homes for older adults. Methods: After obtaining permission from the original developers, the BERNCA-NH was translated and culturally adapted through forward translation, back-translation, synthesis, cognitive interviews, and expert review. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 251 nursing assistants recruited by convenience sampling from long-term care facilities in China. Descriptive statistics, item analysis, exploratory factor analysis, and internal consistency testing were performed. Results: We identified three main challenges during the translation and cultural adaptation of the BERNCA-NH for use in Chinese LTC homes: syntactic and idiomatic differences between English and Chinese, mismatch between some original care scenarios and the local LTC context, and multiple possible Chinese interpretations of certain English expressions. The Chinese version of the BERNCA-NH showed good overall internal consistency (Cronbach's Conclusion: The Chinese version of the BERNCA-NH showed acceptable preliminary psychometric properties and may serve as a preliminary tool for assessing unfinished care among nursing assistants in Chinese LTC homes, although further validation is needed. It may help identify priority areas for care improvement and provide support for quality assessment, management, and improvement in LTC homes.
