Active-empathic listening scale: a reliability and validity study in nursing students.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. 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
backgroundActive-empathic listening is a fundamental component of therapeutic communication. It plays a vital role in providing person-centered care thanks to its multi-dimensional structure encompassing emotional awareness and cognitive engagement. High-quality undergraduate and graduate nursing education facilitates the development of active-empathic listening skills, thereby increasing the effectiveness of patient care.
objectiveThe aim of this study was to conduct a reliability and validity study of the Turkish version of the Active Empathic Listening Scale (AELS-TR) and to adapt it to Turkish culture.
methodsThe sample of this descriptive, cross-sectional, and methodological-design study consisted of 405 nursing faculty students who voluntarily participated. Data were collected using an online survey method, a descriptive information form, AELS, and the Communication Skills Scale. The scale's language and content validity were ensured, and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) models were administered. Item-total correlation analyses and Cronbach's alpha coefficient were calculated to evaluate the reliability of the AELS-TR.
resultsThe content validity index value of the Turkish version of the Active Empathetic Listening Scale was 1.00. CFA results showed that the χ²/SD value indicating excellent fit was 1.78; the comparative fit index and goodness of fit index values were 0.97 and 0.96, respectively. Internal consistency was confirmed with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.86; test-retest reliability was obtained with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.717 (p < 0.001).
conclusionsThe findings confirm that the AELS-TR is a psychometrically robust instrument for evaluating Turkish nursing students' listening competencies and it could be a useful instrument in nursing education.
