Abstract：Objective:To translate the Occupational Future Time Perspective Scale into Chinese,and to test its reliability and validity.Methods:The Chinese version of the Occupational Future Time Perspective Scale was formed after translated,back-translated,cultural adaptation and pre-surveyed based on Brislin principle.A total of 480 nurses from 3 tertiary public hospitals in Henan province were selected by convenience sampling method to test the reliability and validity.Results:The Chinese version of Occupational Future Time Perspective Scale included 3 dimensions and 9 items.The item-level content validity index(I-CVI)ranged from 0.860 to 1.000,and the average scale-level content validity index(S-CVI/Ave)was 0.953.Exploratory factor analysis extracted 3 common factors,and the cumulative contribution rate of variance was 82.277%.Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the model fit well.The Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale was 0.887.The test-retest reliability was 0.876.The split-half coefficient of the total scale was 0.765.Conclusions:The Chinese version of the Occupational Future Time Perspective Scale has good reliability and validity,and it can be used as an effective assessment tool to evaluate the occupational future time perspective of nurses in China.
