To translate the Nurse-Patient Therapeutic Interaction Scale into Chinese and to evaluate its psychometric properties.
The Nurse-Patient Therapeutic Interaction Scale was translated based on the modified Brislin translation model.The Chinese version of the Nurse-Patient Therapeutic Interaction Scale was culturally adapted and preliminary survey before formal validation.A total of 549 clinical nurses were selected from tertiary grade A hospitals in Jiangsu province from September to October 2025 using the convenience sampling method.Classical test theory was adopted to examine the reliability and validity of the scale.Multi-dimensional item response theory was further applied to analyze the item discrimination parameters,item difficulty parameters,and item information functions,to comprehensively evaluate the psychometric performance of the scale.
During cultural adaptation,the item-content validity index of the Chinese version of the Nurse-Patient Therapeutic Interaction Scale ranged from 0.667 to 1.000.The scale-content validity index/average was 0.908.Exploratory factor analysis extracted 3 common factors consisting 17 items in total,with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 74.503%.After removing one item,the results of multi-dimensional item response theory showed that the item discrimination parameters ranged from 2.516 to 21.805.The item difficulty parameters ranged from -3.217 to 0.401.The scale provided sufficient measurement information in the low-to-medium range of therapeutic interaction levels.After multi-dimensional item response theory analysis,the overall Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale was 0.981.The split-half reliability coefficient was 0.972.Confirmatory factor analysis revealed an excellent fit of the external verification model.
The Chinese version of the Nurse-Patient Therapeutic Interaction Scale has excellent discrimination,reliability,validity,and relatively low item difficulty.The scale could effectively measure the level of therapeutic interaction among clinical nurses.
