Development and psychometric validation of a knowledge-attitude-practice questionnaire on geriatric foot care among clinical nurses.
Article in PloS one, 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
objectiveTo develop a Knowledge-Attitude-Practice (KAP) questionnaire on geriatric foot care for clinical nurses in China and to evaluate its reliability and validity.
methodsThe questionnaire was developed based on the Knowledge-Attitude-Practice (KAP) framework through a literature review, semi-structured interviews, and two rounds of Delphi expert consultation. After pilot testing, a cross-sectional survey using convenience sampling was conducted among 324 clinical nurses from two tertiary general hospitals in Guizhou Province and Chongqing Municipality, China. Item analysis, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and assessments of reliability and validity were performed to examine the psychometric properties of the questionnaire.
resultsThe final questionnaire comprised 48 items across three dimensions: knowledge, attitude, and practice. Exploratory factor analysis yielded a cumulative variance contribution of 58.314%. Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated satisfactory model fit (χ²/df = 1.489, GFI = 0.912, AGFI = 0.932, CFI = 0.948, and RMSEA = 0.055). The scale-level content validity index (S-CVI) was 0.93. The overall Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.933, and both split-half reliability and test-retest reliability coefficients exceeded 0.80.
conclusionThe questionnaire demonstrated satisfactory psychometric properties, with acceptable reliability and validity. It may be useful for assessing clinical nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding geriatric foot care and for identifying educational needs in this area.
