Abstract：Objective To translate the Casey-Fink Readiness for Practice Scale(CFRPS)into Chinese version and to test its reliability and validity.Methods According to the Brislin translation model,translation,back-translation,cross-cultural adaptation and pilot testing were performed to produce the Chinese version of the CFRPS.The reliability of the scale was evaluated by facilitating the survey of senior nursing students from 8 universities in 5 provinces.Results The Chinese version of CFRPS included 4 dimensions(clinical problem-solving,testing and honing,professional identity,and learning skills)and 19 items.Four common factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis,with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 76.618％.The fitting indices of confirmatory factor analysis were all within an acceptable range(x2/df=1.468,RMSEA=0.046,GFI=0.905,IFI=0.968,TLI=0.962,and CFI=0.967).The Cronbach's α of the scale was 0.893.The split-half reliability was 0.782,and retest reliability was 0.883.Conclusion The Chinese version of the CFRPS has good reliability and validity,and it can be used as a tool to measure senior nursing students'readiness for clinical practice.
