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.
本研究旨在翻译和验证信任护士量表（TINS），并对其进行测试和实施。
信任是护患关系的核心特征，而中国缺乏一种简单且通用的工具来衡量患者对护士的信任。
采用探索性和验证性因子分析（EFA 和 CFA）验证结构效度，同时进行内容效度和信度分析。
TINS 的 Cronbach's alpha 系数为.817，重测信度系数为.852。EFA 揭示了两个因素，解释了总变异的 59.702%。CFA 证明所有拟合度指标均可接受。
TINS 具有良好的信度和效度，可广泛应用于调查中国患者对护士的信任。
护理管理者可以使用 TINS 评估患者对护士的信任，制定相应计划以提高患者的信任度。
