Objective To evaluate the quality of family resilience assessment tools for cancer patients, so as to provide references for the selection of high-quality research tools. Methods We searched databases including PubMed,the Cochrane Library,Web of Science,Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL, CBM, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP to collect all studies about assessment tools that measure cancer patients’ family resilience. Based on the consensus-based standards for the selection of health measurement instruments（COSMIN） guideline,the methodological and measure-ment properties quality of the included assessment tools were evaluated by the COSMIN risk of bias checklist and quality criteria,and the modified grading of recommendations assessment, development of evaluation（GRADE） was used to classify the grade of evidence and recommendations of the tools. Results None of the 10 assessment tools reported criterion validity, measurement error or responsiveness. The GRADE of Family Resilience Assessment（FRA） and Family Resilience Questionnaire（FaREQ） were high. The recommendation level of Family Resilience Assessment Scale（FRAS）, FRA and FaREQ were A, and the others were B. Conclusion FRAS and Chinese version of Family Resilience Assessment Scale（C-FRAS） translated by Fan are the most widely used family resilience assessment tools for cancer patients at home and abroad. FRAS, FRA and FaREQ have good methodological quality, measurement properties quality and evidence level, so they are recommended for use in cancer patients.
