Three factors were extracted by factor analysis which could explain 61.302% of the total variance. The Cronbach'sα of NPCS Chinese version was 0.952, the Guttman split-half coefficient was 0.875, and the test-retest reliability was 0.809.Conclusion NPCS Chinese version is reliable and valid, and it can be used to measure the status of nurse-physician collaboration under Chinese medical environment.
