Designing, psychometric, and application of measurement instrument for Self-Care Literacy in Prevention of Prostate Cancer (SCL-PCa): A mixed-method study protocol.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 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
backgroundProstate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men worldwide. Prostate cancer prevention requires self-care; however, there seems to be insufficient information about men's self-care literacy, and almost no studies have addressed this issue. Therefore, this study aimed to design and psychometric evaluation of a measurement instrument for Self-Care Literacy in Prevention of Prostate Cancer (SCL-PCa) in men over 40 years old. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis mixed-method study will adopt a sequential exploratory approach (qualitative-quantitative) and will be conducted in Iran. In the qualitative phase, participants will include urologists, oncologists, nurses, and men aged 40 and older, selected via purposive sampling with maximum variation. Data will be collected through in-depth, semi-structured face-to-face interviews and analyzed using content analysis with MAXQDA 20 (VERBI Software, Berlin, Germany). The initial items for the instrument will be developed in this phase. In the second (quantitative) phase, the instrument's psychometric properties, including face, content, construct validity, and reliability (internal consistency and stability), will be evaluated.
conclusionsThe validated and reliable instrument developed in this study will address the existing gap in assessing prostate cancer-related self-care literacy. Furthermore, it will provide a foundation for designing effective educational interventions and targeted health planning in future research.
