Abstract: In this study, we developed and tested the psychometric properties of the Chinese‐version Quality of Nursing Work Life Scale along seven subscales: supportive milieu with security and professional recognition, work arrangement and workload, work/home life balance, head nurse's/supervisor's management style, teamwork and communication, nursing staffing and patient care, and milieu of respect and autonomy. An instrument‐development procedure with three phases was conducted in seven hospitals in 2010–2011. Phase I comprised translation and the cultural‐adaptation process, phase II comprised a pilot study, and phase III comprised a field‐testing process. Purposive sampling was used in the pilot study (n = 150) and the large field study (n = 1254). Five new items were added, and 85.7% of the original items were retained in the 41 item Chinese version. Principal component analysis revealed that a model accounted for 56.6% of the variance with acceptable internal consistency, concurrent validity, and discriminant validity. This study gave evidence of reliability and validity of the 41 item Chinese‐version Quality of Nursing Work Life Scale.
