Objective To translate the Critical Thinking Diagnostic of frontline nurses(CTDfn)into Chinese and to evaluate its relia-bility and validity,aiming to provide a tool for assessing critical thinking ability of clinical nurses.Methods The Chinese version of the CTDfn was developed through translation,back-translation and cultural adaption following the Brislin translation model.Then,a convenience sample of 242 frontline nurses were investigated to test the reliability and validity.Results The Chinese version of the CTDfn included 5 dimensions of problem recognition,clinical decision making,prioritization,development of plan of care,and plan of care implementation and improvement,totaling 16 items.Exploratory factor analysis identified 5 factors,explaining 86.472％of the total variance.The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the total scale was 0.969,the split-half reliability was 0.925,and the test-retest reliability was 0.835.Conclusion The Chinese version of the CTDfn has good reliability and validity,and it can be used to assess critical thinking ability of clinical nurses in China.
