Methods： A methodological study was designed with 2 phases. In phase 1, a three-expert panel was invited to evaluate the content validity of SINS-CN, and then its test-retest reliability was examined over a 2-week interval. In phase 2,211 undergraduate nursing students were recruited, and 203 valid responses to the questionnaire were obtained. A principal component analysis with varimax rotation was applied to validate the structure of the instrument. Results： The content validity index（CVI） was 0.89. The correlation coefficient of the test-retest reliability was 0.82 for the overall instrument and 0.70-0.88 for the instrument＇s sub-dimensions. Based on the 43 items of the instrument, five components were identified and accounted for 60. 28% of the variance with eigenvalues ranging from 1.32 to 10. 18. The factor loadings were 0.42-0.79. The internal consistency reliability of Cronbach＇s ot was 0.96 for the overall scale and 0.67-0.94 for its sub-dimensions. Conclusion： The study findings indicated that SINS-CN had acceptable psychometric properties in terms of content validity, stability and internal consistency reliability. The principal component analysis generated a 5-component structure with 43 items; this was slightly different from the origi- nai structure but was more applicable to the studied population, which suggests that this instrument has cross-cultural sensitivity.展开更多
