ABSTRACT
Objective To translate the Pain Resilience Scale (PRS) into Chinese and evaluate its psychometric characteristics in patients with coronary heart disease with chest pain. Methods Convenience sampling was used to recruit 340 patients with coronary heart disease in Tianjin medical university general hospital. Results The content validity and criterion validity were 0.939 and 0.852 respectively. Through EFA ,the Chinese version of PRS included three dimension which accounted for 58.214% of the accumulated variance, and each item had high factor loading quantity (>0.5). CFA showed that the modified model fitted well. Cronbach alpha was 0.821 and the test-retest reliability was 0.911. Conclusions The Chinese version of PRS has been proved to be valid and reliable and can be used among patients with coronary heart disease with chest pain.
