Objective To translate the Ethical Behavior Scale for Nurses-Revise （EBSN-R） into Chinese, and to evaluate its reliability and validity among clinical nurses. Methods After getting copyright permission, the Japanese version EBSN-R was translated into a test-ready Chinese version through translation, back translation, cultural adaptation, cognitive interviews and pilot test.Then the test-ready version was used to survey 535 clinical nurses for validation. Results The Chinese version EBSN-R included 3 dimensions and 15 items.The scale-level average content validity index （S-CVI/Ave） was 0.985, and the item-level content validity index （I-CVI） ranged from 0.890 to 1.000.Exploratory factor analysis identified 3 common factors, collectively accounting for 60.952% of the total variance.The Cronbach′s α coefficient was 0.892 for the whole scale, and stood at 0.897,0.870,and 0.838 respectively for its three subscales.The Guttman split-half reliability coefficient of the scale stood at 0.918. Conclusion The Chinese version EBSN-R enjoys good reliability and validity.It befits as a tool to assess nurses′ ethical behavior in Chinese cultural context.
