The Adaptation of the Perceived Obstetric Violence Scale in Students to Turkish Culture and an Examination of Its Psychometric Properties.
Article in Maternal and child health journal, 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
backgroundSince the awareness of obstetric violence is generally low among individuals, many health professionals remain unaware of such incidents, even though they may witness them.
objectiveThis study aimed to adapt 'The Perceived Obstetric Violence Scale in Students' to Turkish culture, and to evaluate its validity and reliability.
designThe study has a cross-sectional design.
methodA total of 222 midwifery, nursing, and medical students are recruited to the study. Random sampling was used, and data were collected using an online survey method. The reliability of the scale was assessed by calculating Cronbach's α coefficient, two-half-test reliability, and item-total score correlation (Pearson) values. Confirmatory factor analysis and criterion validity were used to assess validity.
resultsThe mean age of the participants was 21.59 ± 1.32 years; 82.9% were female, 44.1% were nursing students, 63.5% had never heard of obstetric violence, and 80.2% thought that women of different economic status were treated differently during labor. Within the scope of reliability analyses, Corrected Item-Total Correlation Values were calculated between 0.102 and 0.682, and Cronbach's coefficient was calculated as 0.932. The results from the confirmatory factor analysis and tests of criterion validity support the validity of the scale's original two-factor structure in the Turkish version.
conclusionThe results of this study support that the Turkish version of the 'The Perceived Obstetric Violence Scale in Students' is both valid and reliable. However, some limitations were identified, suggesting that further validation and reliability testing with a larger sample size could be beneficial in future studies.
