Methods The English version RCPQ-NS was translated into Chinese based on Brislin mo-del.Then totally 550 nursing interns were investigated by utilizing a general information questionnaire, the translated Chinese version RCPQ-NS and the Reflection Function Questionnaire-8 (RFQ-8) to test its reliability and validity. Results The Chinese version RCPQ-NS consisted of 6 dimensions, professional competence, internal motivation, self-management based on reflection, challenging clinical situation, dynamic organizational climate and dynamic career development, with a total of 36 items.Six common factors were extracted through exploratory factor analysis, the cumulative variance contribution rate was 70.099%.Confirmatory factor analysis showed that, χ2/df=1.292,RMSEA=0.033,CFI=0.977,TLI=0.974.The Cronbach′s α coefficient of the scale was 0.961, which was 0.870 to 0.949 for each subscale, the average content validity of the scale was 0.983, its split-half reliability was 0.853, and its test-retest reliability was 0.934. Conclusion The Chinese version RCPQ-NS has good reliability and validity, which can be used to evaluate the reflective ability of nursing interns in China.
