Development and Psychometric Testing of the Patient Safety Scale for Home Peritoneal Dialysis (PD-PSS).
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
backgroundHome-based peritoneal dialysis treatment offers greater autonomy and flexibility. However, it also introduces unique patient safety risks. Despite these risks, there is no validated tool to assess patient safety in home settings.
objectivesTo develop and validate a scale to assess environmental, behavioral, and procedural safety risks in peritoneal dialysis (PD).
methodsThis study was conducted with 600 patients across eight hospitals. Item generation was informed by literature review, clinical guidelines, existing instruments, and expert consultation, resulting in an initial 50-item pool. Content validity was established through expert opinions. The final analytic sample was randomly divided into two independent subsamples: exploratory factor analysis was conducted with Sample I (n = 300), and confirmatory factor analysis was conducted with Sample II (n = 300). Internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and convergent and discriminant validity were evaluated.
resultsThe final scale consisted of 42 items across four factors: Safe Dialysis Practices, Infection Prevention and Complication Monitoring, Treatment Follow-up and Safety Preparedness, and Fall Prevention and Safety, explaining 80.5% of the total variance. The CFA results confirmed good model fit (χ
conclusionThe scale is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing patient safety in peritoneal dialysis. It addresses critical domains aligned with international safety frameworks and can support clinicians in identifying safety risks, guiding interventions, and improving outcomes in home dialysis.
