Nursing students are experiencing complex learning environments and will experience complex work environments in future clinical work, which lead to emotional problems easily. However, one's beliefs about controlling their emotions portend a series of vital psychological outcomes. So, it is especially important to search for suitable tools to assess the emotion and regulation beliefs of nursing students and give timely intervention to improve their physical and mental health. This study aimed to translate the American version of the Emotion and Regulation Beliefs Scale (ERBS) into Chinese, revise the original scale and form a simplified version, and assess the reliability and validity of the brief Chinese version in nursing students.
The study adopted a cross-sectional design and the multistage sampling design. The ERBS was translated into Chinese, and the reliability and validity of the Chinese version were tested in 980 nursing students.
The content validity index was 0.920. Exploratory factor analysis supported a three-factor model for the Chinese version of Brief-ERBS, and confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the model fit the Brief-ERBS well. Furthermore, the three-factors model was obtained by using exploratory factor analysis, explaining 51.023% variance, and the communalities of the items ranged from 0.359 to 0.680. With modified confirmatory factor analysis, the fit indices were chi-square/degree of freedom (CMIN/DF) = 4.092, goodness of fit index (GFI) = 0.949, adjusted goodness of fit index (AGFI) = 0.927, comparative fit index (CFI) = 0.913, incremental fit index (IFI) = 0.914, Tucker Lewis index (TLI) = 0.908, root-mean-square error of approximation (RMSEA) = 0.061. The two-tailed independent samples t-test showed the scores of the top (50%) and low (50%) groups reached the level of significance (P < 0.001). A highly positive correlation between the Brief-ERBS total score and the ERBS total score was found (r = 0.972, P < 0.01). The Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale was 0.798, the split-half reliability coefficient was 0.784, and the retest coefficient was 0.879.
The Chinese version of Brief-ERBS has good reliability and validity, and may be used for the beliefs about emotional management in Chinese nursing students.
护理专业学生正面临复杂的学习环境，且在未来临床工作中也将经历复杂的工作环境，这很容易导致情绪问题。然而，个体对自身情绪控制的信念预示着一系列重要的心理结果。因此，寻找合适的工具来评估护理专业学生的情绪及情绪调节信念，并及时进行干预以促进其身心健康尤为重要。本研究旨在将美国版的情绪与调节信念量表（ERBS）翻译成中文，修订原量表并形成简化版，同时评估该中文简版在护理专业学生中的信效度。
本研究采用横断面设计和多阶段抽样设计。将ERBS翻译成中文，并在980名护理专业学生中测试中文版的信效度。
内容效度指数为0.920。探索性因素分析支持中文版简版ERBS的三因素模型，验证性因素分析表明该模型与简版ERBS拟合良好。此外，通过探索性因素分析得到三因素模型，解释了51.023%的方差，各项目的共同度在0.359至0.680之间。经修正的验证性因素分析显示，拟合指数为卡方/自由度（CMIN/DF）=4.092，拟合优度指数（GFI）=0.949，调整后拟合优度指数（AGFI）=0.927，比较拟合指数（CFI）=0.913，增值拟合指数（IFI）=0.914，塔克-刘易斯指数（TLI）=0.908，近似均方根误差（RMSEA）=0.061。两尾独立样本t检验显示，高分（50%）组和低分（50%）组的得分达到显著水平（P<0.001）。简版ERBS总分与ERBS总分之间存在高度正相关（r=0.972，P<0.01）。该量表的Cronbach's α系数为0.798，分半信度系数为0.784，重测系数为0.879。
中文版简版ERBS具有良好的信效度，可用于评估中国护理专业学生的情绪管理信念。
