Abstract：Objective:To translate the Communication Behavior Scale for Nurses Caring for People with Dementia(CBS-D),and to test its reliability and validity among elderly care workers.Methods:The Brislin model was adopted to conduct literal translation,retranslation and cultural adaptation of CBS-D.The reliability and validity of the Chinese version scale were tested among 206 elderly care workers recruited by convenience sampling.Results:The Chinese version of CBS-D had 4 dimensions and 18 items.The average of scale level content validity index(S-CVI/Ave)was 0.96,and the item level content validity index(I-CVI)ranged from 0.80 to 1.00.The results of confirmatory factor analysis showed that the model was well-fitted.The total Cronbach's α coefficient of the Chinese version scale was 0.904,and the Cronbach's α coefficients of each dimension ranged from 0.841 to 0.861.The test-retest reliability was 0.900.And the half-reliability was 0.760.Conclusion:The Chinese version of the CBS-D has good reliability and validity,and it can be used as an evaluation tool for the communication behavior of elderly care workers.
