Objective The collaboration between pharmacists and general practitioners(GPs)is essential to the quality of patient care.Attitudes toward collaboration instrument for GPs(ATCI-GP)and frequency of interprofessional collabo-ration instrument for GPs(FICI-GP)have been used to assess GPs'attitudes towards collaboration with pharmacists and their frequency of collaboration,respectively,yet they had not been validated in the Chinese version.To provide a re-search tool for assessing the collaboration between GPs and pharmacists,we translate ATCI-GP and FICI-GP into Chinese and test the reliability and validity of the Chinese version.Methods Following the guidelines for cross-cultural adapta-tion and the Brislin translation principle,the ATCI-GP and FICI-GP were translated into Chinese versions of question-naires C-ATCI-GP and C-FICI-GP.From December 2022 to February 2023,a survey was conducted among general prac-titioners from 25 primary health institutions in Shenzhen,Hangzhou,Xi'an,Changsha,and Beijing to analyze the relia-bility and validity of the questionnaire by convenience sampling method.Results A total of 346 questionnaires were col-lected,of which 320 were valid.The overall Cronbach's α coefficient for C-ATCI-GP was 0.958,and for C-FICI-G,it was 0.967.The|CR values|for all items in both questionnaires were greater than 3.000(P＜0.001),and the correla-tion coefficients between item scores and the total scale score were greater than 0.300(P＜0.001).The content validity index(S-CVI)for C-ATCI-GP was 0.876,and for C-FICI-GP,it was 0.882.The construct validity analysis showed that C-ATCI-GP extracted 2 common factors,accounting for a cumulative variance contribution rate of 72.546％,and C-FICI-GP extracted 1 common factor,accounting for a variance contribution rate of 77.713％.Conclusion The Chinese ver-sions of ATCI and FICI have good reliability and validity and can be used as reliable evaluation tools for domestic re-searchers to evaluate the attitude and frequency of general practitioners towards collaboration with pharmacists.
