Abstract：Objective:To revise the traditional Chinese version of the Social Impact Scale(SIS),and to test its reliability and validity.Methods:Following Beaton's cultural adjustment guide,and using Delphi expert letter consultation method for cultural adjustment,the simplified Chinese version of SIS was developed.A questionnaire survey was conducted on 417 cancer patients by convenience sampling to evaluate the reliability and validity of the simplified Chinese version of SIS.Results:The simplified Chinese version of SIS had 4 dimensions and 22 items.The item-level content validity index(I-CVI)ranged from 0.875 to 1.000,and the average scale-content validity index(S-CVI)was 0.978.Exploratory factor analysis extracted 4 common factors,and the cumulative contribution rate of variance was 64.040%.The results of confirmatory factor analysis showed that the model structure fit well.The total Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale was 0.925,and the Cronbach's α coefficients of each dimension ranged from 0.748 to 0.810.The half coefficient was 0.890.The total test-retest reliability coefficient was 0.901.Conclusions:The simplified Chinese version of SIS demonstrated good reliability and validity,which could be used as an assessment tool for assessing the stigma of cancer patients in China.
