The Validity and Reliability of the Post-Intensive Care Syndrome Questionnaire Turkish Version.

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 conduct a Turkish validity and reliability study of the Post-Intensive Care Syndrome Questionnaire Scale.
methodsIn this methodological study, the sample included 149 patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit who were discharged at least 4 weeks and 1 year ago. In the Turkish adaptation of the questionnaire, confirmatory and exploratory factor analyses were conducted to assess language, content, and construct validity. A test-retest was used for intraclass correlation analysis, and Cronbach's alpha was used for internal consistency analysis in the reliability analyses.
resultsThe survey's language validity was assessed by expert linguists. The Content Validity Index was calculated as 0.96. The item-total score correlation coefficients ranged between r = .381 and .686. Spearman's Rho coefficients indicated significant correlations (r = .981; p < .001). The root mean square error of approximation (0.097), Adjusted Goodness of Fit Index (0.75), Goodness of Fit Index (0.81), and Comparative Fit Index (0.94) showed a good fit. The Cronbach alpha was 0.90.
conclusionThe Turkish version of Post-Intensive Care Syndrome Questionnaire, with 18 items, was valid and reliable. Assessing post-intensive care syndrome in intensive care patients after discharge is suggested in practice. Cite this article as: Kebapçı, A., & Yalçın, B. (2026).
