Abstract: Objective To translate and test the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Stressor Scale for Emergency Nurses （SSEN）. Methods The Brislin translation method was used to translate the SSEN scale literally，back-translate and cross-culturally adjust to the Chinese version of the SSEN. Thirty emergency nurses were selected for pre-survey，after modifying the survey results，the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of SSEN was tested among 317 emergency nurses by convenient sampling in several tertiary general hospitals in in Beijing. Results The Chinese version of SSEN includes life and death situation，patients’ andfamilies’ actions and reactions，technical and formal support，conflicts，total 4 dimensions，24 items. The Scale-Content Validity Index（S-CVI） was 0.94，and Item-Content Validity Index（I-CVI） was 0.83 to 1.00. Four common factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis，and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 76.730%. The Cronbach’s α for the total scale was 0.960，and the split-half reliability was 0.840. Conclusion The Chinese version of SSEN has acceptable reliability and validity，It can be used to measure the pressure source of emergency nurses， effectively evaluate the pressure state of emergency nurses，and provide a basis for nursing managers to intervene.
