Psychometric Validation of the Korean Version of the Professional Bereavement Scale Among Tertiary Hospital Nurses.

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
backgroundNurses experience professional bereavement-distinct grief reactions following patient deaths that differ fundamentally from familial bereavement; however, existing measurement tools lack specificity for assessing these unique professional experiences. PURPOSE: This study aimed to validate the Korean version of the Professional Bereavement Scale, which comprises two subscales: Short-term bereavement reactions (SBR) and accumulated global changes (AGC).
methodsData from 340 nurses working for at least one month in tertiary hospitals in Korea were used in this study. The content, construct, convergent, discriminant, and criterion validities were evaluated. Cronbach's α and intraclass correlation coefficients were also evaluated to determine reliability.
resultsThree factors with 17 items were identified for SBR, whereas three factors with seven items were identified for AGC. The validity and reliability of the scale were acceptable. Cronbach's α was 0.91 for SBR and 0.65 for AGC. The intraclass correlation coefficients for SBR and AGC were 0.83 and 0.81, respectively.
conclusionsThis study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Korean version of the Professional Bereavement Scale; the SBR was found to be a valid and reliable tool, whereas the AGC requires further validation. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: The Korean version of the Professional Bereavement Scale was validated in this study. This enables nurse managers to systematically assess professional bereavement among nurses in a Korean context, thereby facilitating the early identification of grieving nurses and the development of targeted support interventions to improve their well-being and reduce burnout.
