Development and validation of healthy dietary decision-making competence scale for inflammatory bowel disease: an instrument design study.

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
backgroundDietary decision-making plays a crucial role in the management of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, it is complex and involves multiple challenges. Decision-making competence may assist healthcare professionals (HCPs) in evaluating patients' competence to make healthy dietary decisions and to design targeted dietary support programs. Assessment of healthy dietary decision-making competence is essential for guiding IBD patients in daily dietary management. Currently, no valid instrument is available to measure this construct. This study aimed to develop an instrument to evaluate healthy dietary decision-making competence in patients with IBD.
methodsThe development and test of the healthy dietary decision-making competence scale (HDMCS) proceeded according to two phases: (i) instrument development: identifying preliminary items through literature reviews, interviews with 24 patients, an expert panel with 24 experts and cognitive interviews with 8 patients. (ii) scale verification: surveying 354 patients with IBD from five tertiary general hospitals in Nanjing and Shenzhen city, China. Item analysis, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and reliability rest were performed to evaluate the reliability and validity of this scale.
resultsThe exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis yield a four-factor scale (χ
conclusionsThe HDMCS demonstrated satisfactory reliability and validity to warrant further development as a measure of dietary decision-competence of patients with IBD. By evaluating dietary decision-making competence across multiple domains, HCPs could gain a comprehensive understanding of patients' beliefs, preferences, and values related to dietary decisions, thereby tailoring interventions accordingly.
