Abstract：Objective To translate the Uncertainty in Illness Scale-Community(MUIS-C)into Chinese and verify its reliability and va-lidity in Chinese patients with pulmonary nodules.Methods Based on the Brislin model,the MUIS-C was translated,back-translated,culturally adapted and pre-investigated to form the Chinese version of the Disease Uncertainty Community Scale,and its reliability and validity in patients with pulmonary nodules were tested.Results The Chinese version of the MUIS-C included four dimensions:missing information(7 items),vague concepts(6 items),complex structures(6 items),and unpredictable changes(4 items),totaling 23 items.Exploratory factor analysis(EFA)revealed that the cumulative variance contribution rate of the four factors was 60.145%.The average content validity index at the scale level was 1,and the content validity index at the item level was 1.Confirmatory factor analysis(CFA)showed that the model fit was good.The o-verall Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale was 0.913,and the Cronbach's α coefficients of each dimension were between 0.860 and 0.916.The test-retest reliability was 0.831.Conclusion The Chinese version of MUIS-C has good reliability and validity,and can be used to measure the level of illness uncertainty in patients with pulmonary nodules in China.
