Abstract：Objective:To sinicize the Social Capital of Nursing Scale(SCON)and to test its reliability and validity.Methods:The original scale was translated according to the modified Brislin questionnaire translation model.And cross-cultural adjustment and pre-investigation were carried out to form the Chinese version of SCON for formal survey.A total of 401 registered nurses from a tertiary grade A hospital in Baoding city were selected as the research subjects from September 27 to November 21,2023 by convenience sampling method to test the reliability and validity of the scale.Results:The Chinese version of SCON was divided into 4 dimensions(external trust,solidarity and empowerment;internal trust,solidarity and harmony;participation and affiliation;social cohesion with co-workers)with 22 items.The cumulative variance contribution rate of the 4 common factors with eigenvalues greater than 1 extracted by exploratory factor analysis was 64.429%.And the results of confirmatory factor analysis showed that the χ2/ν was 1.197.The root mean squared error was 0.046.The root mean square residual was 0.022.The comparative goodness of fit index was 0.991.Tucker-Lewis index was 0.990.And incremental fit index was 0.991.The average scale-level content validity index of the Chinese version of SCON was 0.912.And the item-level content validity index were ranged from 0.857 to 1.000.The average variance extracted of the 4 dimensions of the Chinese version of SCON all>0.45.And composite reliability all>0.7.The overall Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale was 0.922.The test-retest reliability was 0.752.And the split-half reliability was 0.924.Conclusions:The Chinese version of SCON has good reliability and validity.It can be used as an effective tool to evaluate the nurses'workplace social capital in China.
