Abstract：Objective:To translate the German version of the Salmon's item List(SIL-Ger)into Chinese,and evaluate its reliability and validity,which aims to provide our country with an effective tool to more easily measure the maternal experience of childbirth.Methods:In pursuant to the Brislin model,the SIL-Ger was translated,back-translated,cross-cultural adaptation and pre-test to form a Chinese version.The Chinese version of the Salmon's item list(SIL-Chn)instrument was tested for reliability and validity using a convenience sample of 636 mothers in Hangzhou who were 1 to 3 days postpartum.Results:Exploratory factor analysis extracted 4 common factors with a cumulative variance contribution of 68.980%.The SIL-Chn consisted of 4 dimensions and 20 entries.The content validity was 0.96 at the scale level and 0.80～1.00 at the item level.The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the total scale was 0.811,and the Cronbach's alpha coefficients for the dimensions ranged from 0.779 to 0.903.The re-test reliability of the total scale was 0.879.Conclusion:SIL-Chn has good reliability and validity.It can be used as an assessment tool for the maternal experience of childbirth in the our country.
