Objective: This study was designed to examine the internal consistency, test-retest reliability, construct, and concurrent validity of the Trust in Nurses Scale (TNS) in hospitalized patients with cancer in China.

Methods: Between October and December 2016, the Chinese version of TNS and Nurse-Patient Trust Scale were applied to assess 190 patients with cancer in a general hospital. A subsample of 70 patients completed the TNS again 1 week later.

Results: The Chinese version of the TNS had good internal consistency ( α =0.817), fair test-retest reliability ( r =0.866), and confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated good fit for a four-item version of the TNS.

Conclusion: The Chinese TNS exhibited sufficient validity and reliability in hospitalized patients with cancer.
