Abstract: Objective: To translate the English version of Coaching Leadership Perception Assessment Scale (CLPAS) into Chinese and to test its reliability and validity. Methods: Prepared, translated and adapted CLPAS in Chinese culture. The Chinese version CLPAS was tested in 124 head nurses. Results: The Chinese version of CLPAS consisted of 20 items. Four factors were extracted by factor analysis which could explain 68.471% of the total variance. The Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.940 for the total scale and the Cronbach's α coefficient of each factor ranged from 0.867-0.874. The content validity index was 0.98. The correlation coefficient between each dimension score ranged from 0.514 to 0.711 and the correlation coefficient between each dimension score and the total score ranged from 0.826-0.870. Conclusion: The Chinese version of CLPAS is reliable and valid, and can be used to assess coaching leadership behavior of head nurses.
