ABSTRACT
Objective@#To exmain reliability and validity of the Chinese version of Family Hardiness Index(FHI) among patients with cancer.@*Methods@#A convinent sample of 344 patients with cancer was investigated with a self-designed questionnaire about personal information, the Herth Hope Index (HHI) and the Chinese version of FHI. Item analysis was conducted on each item of the Chinese version of FHI; The construct validity of the scale were evaluated by explorotory factor analysis, the reliability of the scale was also evaluated by calculating the Cronbach α coefficient, the split-half reliability and the retest reliability.@*Results@#The Chinese version of FHI consisted of 20 items. Five factors were extracted by factor analysis which explained 57.900% of the total variance. The score of the Chinese version of FHI was significantly correlated to the total score of HHI (r=0.716, p<0.01) .The Cronbach α coefficient of the Chinese version of FHI was 0.806, and the test-retest reliability coefficient was 0.790 and The split-half reliability was 0.793.@*Conclusion@#The Chinese version of FHI demonstrates good reliability and validity during initial testing among patients with cancer.
