Then 476 undergraduate nursing students were investigated using the Chinese version of SCOPE to testits reliability and validity. Results The Chinese version of SCOPE was consisted ofthree subscales of affective component，placement and profession scale, and 2 separate items，a total of 33 items. The Cronbach′ s α coefficient of the scale was 0.966，and the content validity index was 0.939.The results of exploratory factor analysis showed that, five common factors with characteristic root＞1 were extracted from the three subscales，and the cumulative variance contribution rate of each subscale was over 60%. Conclusion The Chinese version of SCOPE has good reliability and validity，andit can be used to measure undergraduate nursing students′ perceptions of community care.
