Objective To translate the MISSCARE Survey-Pediatric Version into Chinese,and to test its reliabili-ty and validity.Methods The original scale was translated by Brislin translation model,and modified by cultural ad-justment and pre-investigation to form the Chinese version of the MISSCARE Survey-Pediatric Version.The reliabili-ty and validity of the scale were tested by convenience sampling among 367 pediatric nurses from 4 tertiary Grade-A hospitals in Qingdao.Results The Chinese version of the MISSCARE Survey-Pediatric Version consists of two sub-scales.Sub-scale A was single dimensional scale,includes 28 items,and its Cronbach's αcoefficient was 0.944,the scale-content validity index was 0.971.Sub-scale B includes 3 dimensions and 17 items,the total Cronbach's α coeffi-cient was 0.888,the test-retest reliability of 0.849,and the scale-content validity index was 0.984.Exploratory fac-tor analysis extracted 3 common factors,and the cumulative contribution rate of variance was 60.966%.Conclusion The Chinese version of the MISSCARE Survey-Pediatric Version demonstrates good reliability and validity,serving as an assessment tool for evaluating the current situation of the pediatric missed nursing care and their influencing factors in China.
