Abstract：Objective:To translate and validate the Chinese version of the Nursing Time Management Scale(NTMS)in terms of its reliability and validity.Methods:The Brislin translation model was employed to translate,back-translate,conduct cross-cultural adaptation,and pre-test the original English version of the scale to develop the Chinese version of NTMS.A total of 549 nurses from two tertiary hospitals were selected for reliability and validity testing.Results:A total 17 items of the Chinese version of NTMS.Exploratory factor analysis extracted three common factors with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 77.436%.The Cronbach's α coefficient for the overall scale was 0.915,and the values of Cronbach's α for each dimension fell within a range of 0.925 to 0.944.The test-retest reliability,with a two-week interval,was 0.893,and the content validity at the scale level was 0.926.Conclusion:The validity and reliability of the Chinese version NTMS are excellent,indicating its suitability for assessing time management skills among clinical nurses in China.
