Nursing Competency Scale for Patients With Comorbid Cancer and Dementia in Acute Care Hospitals (NCS-CD): Development and Validation.
Article in Japan journal of nursing science : JJNS, 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
objectivesThis study aimed to develop a Nursing Competency Scale for Patients with Comorbid Cancer and Dementia in Acute Care Hospitals (NCS-CD) and examine its reliability and validity.
methodsThe study was conducted in two phases. In Phase 1, a preliminary scale was developed based on interviews with Japanese specialists in cancer and dementia nursing and a comprehensive literature review. The draft was refined through a questionnaire survey of 10 specialists and a consensus meeting with five experts. In Phase 2, the reliability and validity of the scale were evaluated using data from 305 nurses working in acute care hospitals. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to assess construct validity. Criterion-related validity was examined using the Self-Assessment Scale of Nursing Practice for Elderly People with Cognitive Impairment (SSNP). Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were assessed.
resultsThe NCS-CD comprised 23 items across five factors. Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated acceptable model fit (χ
conclusionThe NCS-CD demonstrated preliminary reliability and validity for assessing nursing competencies in caring for patients with comorbid cancer and dementia in acute care hospitals. This scale can contribute to the improvement of nursing practice and educational programs for patients.
