Popis: This study aimed to translate and validate the Trust in Nurses Scale (TINS) and then test and implement the tool.Trust is the core feature of the nurse-patient relationship, and a simple and universal instrument to measure patients' trust in nurses in China is lacking.Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses (EFA and CFA) were performed to verify structural validity. Content validity and reliability analyses were also conducted.The Cronbach's alpha of the TINS was .817, and the test-retest reliability coefficient was .852. EFA revealed two factors and explained 59.702% of the total variation. CFA proved that all the goodness-of-fit indicators were acceptable.The TINS exhibited satisfactory reliability and validity, and it can be universally applied to survey Chinese patients' trust in nurses.The TINS can be used by nursing managers to assess patients' trust in nurses, and appropriate programmes can be developed to improve patients' trust.
