Abstract: Objective To develop and establish the role adaptation scale (RAS) in new nurses. Methods We analyzed and evaluated the cultural differences,validity and reliability of RAS by interviewing 5 nursing experts and investigating 307 new nurses.Results There were good face validity,content validity and construct validity (0.96). The positive correlation had been observed between role adaptation of new nurses and their factors (r=0.307-0.781,P<0.01). The correlation among four factors were good (r=0.340-0.714,P<0.01). The Cronbach′s α was between 0.600-0.903. The correlativity among factors and their items were >0.4 (allP<0.01). Conclusions RAS has good validity and reliability and it is suitable as a scale to evaluate the role adaptation in new nurses.
