Abstract: Objective: To test the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Reflective Practice Questionnaire (RPQ), so as to provide an assessment tool for the Reflective Practice study of nurses in our country. Methods: The improved Brislin translation model was used to localize the scale, and cross-cultural adjustment was carried out through expert consultation and pre-survey. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 720 nurse specialists from 8 tertiary grade A hospitals in Tianjin, and the reliability and validity of the questionnaire were tested by 7 experts. Results: The Chinese RPQ scale consists of 5 factors and 33 items. The results of validity analysis showed that 5 common factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis, and the cumulative variance contribution was 63.856%. The results of content validity showed that I-CVI was 0.86-1.00, S-CVI was 0.99, the overall Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.950, the Cronbach's α coefficient of each dimension was 0.750-0.949, the split-half reliability was 0.927, the split-half reliability of each dimension was 0.607-0.921, and the retest reliability was 0.957. Conclusion: The Chinese version of RPQ has good reliability and validity, and can be used as an effective tool to measure the reflective practice of nurses in our country.
