Abstract: Objective: To test the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of Perceived Health Competence Scale (PHCS) among liver transplant recipients. Methods: The english version of PHCS was translated into chinese according to Brislin translation model. The reliability and validity of Chinese version of PHCS were tested in 221 liver transplant recipients. Results: The Cronbach's α of the total scale and its two subscales were 0.802, 0.786 and 0.769 separately. The test-retest reliability coefficient was 0.709. The average content validity index was 0.95 for the total scale. Two factors were extracted by factor analysis, which contributed 60.825% of the variance. The perceived health competence showed positive correlation with PCS (rs=0.255, P<0.01), MCS (rs=0.570, P<0.01) and confrontation (rs=0.173, P<0.01), and showed negative correlation with avoidance(rs= -0.134, P<0.05) and acceptance-resignation (rs= -0.575, P<0.01). Conclusion: The reliability and validity of Chinese version of PHCS in liver transplant recipients are acceptable, so it could be used to assess the self-efficacy of health management in Chinese liver transplant recipients.
