Abstract：Objective:To translate the Powe Fatalism Inventory(PFI),and to test its reliability and validity in colorectal cancer risk groups.Methods:According to Beaton cross-cultural debugging guide,the Chinese version of Powe Fatalism scale was formed through translation,back translation,cross-cultural debugging and pre-test.From September 18,2022 to February 18,2023,a total of 348 patients aged 40 to 74 years old at high risk of colorectal cancer from the Department of Oncology of 10 hospitals and the Department of General Surgery and Department of Gastroenterology of one of the hospitals in Yunnan Province were selected for questionnaire survey to verify the reliability and validity of the scale.Results:The Chinese version of the Powe Fatalism scale had 4 dimensions and 15 items,namely,predestination(7 items),inevitability of death(3 items),pessimism(3 items),and fear(2 items).The Cronbach's αcoefficient of the total volume table was 0.853,and the Cronbach's α coefficient of each dimension was 0.582～0.836.The split-half reliability of the total volume table was 0.845,the retest reliability of the total volume table was 0.823,and the retest reliability of each dimension was 0.514～0.794.The results of confirmatory factor analysis showed that the model had a good fit.Conclusions:The Chinese version of Powe fatalism scale has good reliability and validity,and can be used to measure the level of cancer fatalism in high risk population of colorectal cancer.
