摘要：
Objective: This study was designed to examine the internal consistency, test-retest reliability, construct, and concurrent validity of the Trust in Nurses Scale (TNS) in hospitalized patients with cancer in China. Methods: Between October and December 2016, the Chinese version of TNS and Nurse-Patient Trust Scale were applied to assess 190 patients with cancer in a general hospital. A subsample of 70 patients completed the TNS again 1 week later. Results: The Chinese version of the TNS had good internal consistency (alpha=0.817), fair test-retest reliability (r=0.866), and confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated good fit for a four-item version of the TNS. Conclusion: The Chinese TNS exhibited sufficient validity and reliability in hospitalized patients with cancer.

摘要：
Purpose: To develop a multicultural nursing competence instrument for use in assessing undergraduate student nurses (SNs). Methods: This study enrolled 322 student nurses (SNs) employed at five hospitals in Hunan Province. The nurses were identified by the cluster sampling method. The items on the competence instrument were retained or deleted after analyzing their coefficient of variation, coefficient of correlation with the total score, t-test results. Reliability tests and correlation analysis were used to examine internal consistency, while exploratory factor analysis was used to determine construct validity. Results: After analyzing items, the final multicultural nursing competence instrument comprised a total of 49 items that evaluated five dimensions. The instrument showed good overall reliability (0.958), and the internal consistency of the five dimensions ranged from 0.884 to 0.952. Furthermore, the correlations among the five dimensions were statistically significant (P < 0.01). An exploratory factor analysis of the five dimensions showed that five items incorporated aspects of cultural cognition (factor loading range, 0.824-0.888), five items incorporated aspects of cultural attitude (factor loading range, 0.629-0.815), twenty-two items involved cultural knowledge (factor loading range, 0.587-0.792), seven items incorporated aspects of cultural skills (factor loading range, 0.743-0.860), and 10 items involved cultural encounters (factor loading range, 0.522-0.909). Conclusion: The multicultural nursing competence instrument for SNs demonstrated good reliability and validity, and can be utilized in nursing education programs and research.

摘要：
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the current status of self-differentiation and professional adaptability among undergraduate nursing students, to analyze the relationship between these two variables, and to provide recommendations for nursing educators. Methods: A total of 341 nursing undergraduate students at the University of South China were investigated using the Differentiation of Self Inventory and the Professional Adaptability Scale for college students. Results: The mean scores of self-differentiation and professional adaptability were 3.70 +/- 0.60 and 2.87 +/- 0.37, respectively, and the two variables were positively correlated (P < 0.01). Conclusion: The level of self-differentiation of undergraduate nursing studentsaffects their professional adaptability. Nursing educators should consider the characteristics of self-differentiation of undergraduate nursing students in developing measures to improve their professional adaptability.
