Abstract: Objective: To translate the Patient-reported Experience Measure-Cancer (PREM-C) into Chinese and to test its reliability and validity, aiming to provide a reliable tool for Chinese cancer patients to evaluate the quality of nursing services. Methods: The Brislin translation model was used to translate, back-translate, and culturally adapt the PREM-C, resulting in the Chinese test version of PREM-C. From July to September 2024, a convenience sample of 358 cancer inpatients from 3 tertiary grade A hospitals in Xuzhou were surveyed to evaluate the reliability and validity of the questionnaire. Results: The Chinese version of PREM-C included 25 items. Exploratory factor analysis extracted 5 common factors with a total variance contribution rate of 86.780%. The factor loadings of each item on its respective factor ranged from 0.599 to 0.887. The results of confirmatory factor analysis showed χ2/df=2.976, GFI=0.774, CFI=0.942, IFI=0.943, TLI=0.934, RMSEA=0.097. The overall Cronbach's α coefficient of the PREM-C was 0.980, and the Cronbach's α coefficients for each dimension ranged from 0.943 to 0.977. The split-half reliability of the PREM-C was 0.925, and the test-retest reliability was 0.720. Conclusion: The Chinese version of PREM-C has good reliability and validity and can serve as an effective tool for evaluating the quality of cancer patient care.
