Abstract：Objective:To translate the Relocation Stress Syndrome Scale-Short Form(RSSs-SF)into Chinese,and to test its reliability and validity.Methods:The English version of RSSs-SF was translated,back-translated according to the Brislin model,and the Chinese version of RSSs-SF was formed after cultural adaptation and pre-surveyed.A total of 220 patients who admitted to the department of ICU in 3 tertiary grade A hospitals in Shiyan city were investigated to test the reliability and validity of the scale.Results:The Chinese version of RSSs-SF included 3 dimensions and 10 items.The Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale was 0.867,and the Cronbach's α coefficients of each dimension ranged from 0.833 to 0.876.The Guttman split-half coefficient of the total scale was 0.729,and the Guttman split-half coefficients of each dimension ranged from 0.750 to 0.844.The test-retest reliability was 0.906.The scale-level content validity index(S-CVI)was 0.933.The item-level content validity index(I-CVI)ranged from 0.833 to 1.000.Exploratory factor analysis extracted 3 common factors,and the cumulative contribution rate of variance was 74.686%.The results of confirmatory factor analysis show that the three-factor model was well-fitted.Conclusion:The Chinese version of the RSSs-SF has good reliability and validity,and it can be used as an assessment tool for relocation stress in domestic department conversion patients in China.
