Methods The inital scale was formed by literature review, semi-structured interview and expert consultation. From September to December 2015, a total of 238 medical workers, from different departments from hospitals of different levels in Quanzhou, were selected hierarchically and randomly, and were investigated about their attitude towards hospice care, by which, reliability and validity of the scale were tested, and the final scale was formed. Results In the final scale of hospice care attitude for medi-cal workers, 7 dimensions with 26 items were included. By exploratory factor analysis, 7 common factors were extracted, with cumulative contribution of variance 62.238% . Content validity of the scale was 0.889, with Cronbach's alpha 0.891, split-half reliability 0.863 and test-retest Pearson correlation coefficient 0.867.
