Cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric evaluation of the dengue preventive attitudes questionnaire for Indonesian public health nurses.
Article in BMC nursing, 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
backgroundPublic health nurses serve as the frontline for dengue prevention and control at the community level. Assessing their attitudes is essential, as these influence the effectiveness of nursing practices in disease prevention. However, no validated Indonesian questionnaire exists for this purpose. This study aimed to translate, culturally adapt, and evaluate the reliability and validity of the Dengue Preventive Attitudes Questionnaire (DPAQ) for use among public health nurses in Indonesia.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted with 458 public health nurses working in primary healthcare (PHC) units across Indonesia. The study involved two phases: a cross-cultural adaptation process and psychometric evaluation. A six-step cross-cultural adaptation process, including forward translation, synthesis, backward translation, expert committee review, pretesting, and instrument appraisal, was employed to generate the Indonesian version of the DPAQ (DPAQ-I). Psychometric evaluations, including the face validity, content validity, item analysis, construct validity, test-retest reliability, and internal consistency, were assessed.
resultsThe DPAQ-I demonstrated excellent content validity (scale-CVI = 1.00, evaluated by eight experts). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses confirmed a single-factor structure, explaining 42.82% of the variance, with good model fit (CMIN/df = 2.51, CFI = 0.95, TLI = 0.92, RMSEA = 0.07, SRMR = 0.05). Reliability testing showed acceptable internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.75 and McDonald's ω = 0.74) and acceptable test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.75 over a two-week interval).
conclusionsThe DPAQ-I showed acceptable validity and reliability for measuring public health nurses' attitudes toward dengue prevention. Its concise format enhances feasibility and ease of use in busy clinical settings. The findings support its potential as a brief instrument for evaluating nurses' dengue preventive attitudes in both research and educational contexts, although further validation using independent samples from more diverse geographic settings is recommended before broader application.
