Psychometric evaluation of the Chinese version of the nurse turnover intention scale: a translation and validation study.
Article in BMC nursing, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
backgroundGlobally, the issue of high nurse turnover rates is prevalent in China. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the attrition rate of nurses. Turnover intention is the most reliable predictor of nurse turnover. However, there is currently a lack of proper evaluation tools in China. This study aimed to translate the Nurses Turnover Intention Scale (NTIS) into Chinese and examine the psychometric characteristics of the Chinese version of the NTIS among clinical nurses in China.
methodsApproximately 418 nurses were recruited from three tertiary general hospitals in Jiangxi, Guangdong, and Zhejiang provinces. This study used Brislin's double-back translation, back-translation, and cross-cultural adaptation methods to translate the scale. Internal consistency, split-half reliability, and test-retest reliability were used to measure the reliability of the Chinese scale version. The validity of the Chinese scale version's content was evaluated via the Delphi method. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were carried out to evaluate the construct validity of the Chinese scale versions. In exploratory factor analysis, principal component analysis and maximum variance rotation method were used in this study. In the confirmatory factor analysis, Amos 24.0 software was used for analysis.
resultsThe NTIS in Chinese has ten elements: a Cronbach α coefficient of 0.864, a Cronbach α coefficient of 0.852∼0.903 for the three dimensions, and a split-half reliability and test-retest reliability of 0.878 and 0.960, respectively. This indicates that the Chinese version of the NTIS has good internal consistency and time stability. The scale-level content validity index (S-CVI) was 0.957, which indicated that the Chinese version of NTIS had good content validity. The total variance contribution rate was 79.055%, and three common factors were identified via exploratory factor analysis. The examined three-factor structure was confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis, which confirmed that all fit indices were appropriate.
conclusionsThe Chinese version of the NTIS was appropriate in terms of reliability and validity. This scale can be used to evaluate nurses' turnover intention, and the outcomes can aid nurse management in designing training initiatives and implementing preventive measures to decrease nurse turnover.
