Cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric validation of the Chinese version of the Professional Interpersonal Competency Assessment Scale for novice 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
Background: Professional interpersonal competency is crucial for mitigating turnover and enhancing practice effectiveness among novice nurses. However, a specific instrument for assessing this competency in the Chinese context is currently lacking. Objective: This study aimed to translate the Professional Interpersonal Competency Assessment Scale for Novice Nurses (PICASN) into Chinese and evaluate its psychometric properties. Design: A cross-sectional, quantitative design was employed. Methods: Following Brislin's translation model, the PICASN underwent translation, back-translation, synthesis, cultural adaptation, and pilot testing to create the Chinese version (C-PICASN). Between August and October 2025, novice nurses were recruited via convenience sampling from tertiary grade-A hospitals in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, to assess the scale's reliability and validity. Results: The final C-PICASN consists of 27 items across two factors. Exploratory factor analysis extracted two factors with eigenvalues >1, accounting for 68.140% of the total variance. Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated acceptable model fit (χ Conclusion: The Chinese version of the PICASN demonstrates good reliability and validity, supporting its use as a reliable tool for assessing professional interpersonal competency among novice nurses in China.
