Abstract：Objective To sinicize the InCharge Financial Distress/Financial Well-Being Scale(IFDFW),and to test the reliability and validity.Methods The Brislin Scale Translation Model was used to translate and back-translate the IFDFW,and cross-cultural adaptation was completed after expert consultation and pre-survey.Convenience sampling method was used to select chronically ill patients from September to December in 2023 to conduct the questionnaire survey and test the reliability and validity of the scale.Results A total of 328 patients with chronic diseases were included.The Chinese version of the Chronic Disease Economic Toxicity Scale contained 8 entries,and the Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the scale was 0.929,the folded reliability was 0.872,and the re-test reliability was 0.760.The item-content validity index of the entries ranged from 0.900 to 1.000,and the scale-content validity was 0.987.One factor was extracted in the exploratory factor analysis,and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 67.335％.Conclusion The Chinese version of the Chronic Disease Economic Toxicity Scale has good reliability and validity and can be used as a tool for assessing the status of economic toxicity in patients with chronic diseases.
