Abstract: Objective To translate the Essentials of Magnetism Scale(EOM) into Chinese，and test the reliability and validity of the scale for initially establishing a Chinese version of the Essentials of Magnetism Scale. Methods A total of 1 389 clinical nurses were tested from a tertiary comprehensive hospital in Qingdao using the Chinese version of EOM which was developed through the process of translation，back-translation and cultural adaptation to verify its reliability and validity according to Brislin model. Results The Chinese version scale was extracted for 7 factors and 45 items by the factor analysis using the maximum orthogonal rotation，the cumulative contribution rate was 72.328%. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for the overall scale was 0.980, the split-half reliability coefficient was 0.919 and the test-retest reliability coefficient was 0.889. Conclusion The Chinese version of the Essentials of Magnetism Scale has been proved to be reliable and valid which can be used to objectively evaluate the magnetic level and health status of nursing work environment in China.
