Abstract

In this study, we examined the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the Stress‐Related Growth Scale–Short Form (SRGS‐SF) for undergraduate nursing students. Using a cross‐sectional design, a convenience sample of 253 undergraduate nursing students was included in this study. Half of the sample (n = 126) was randomly selected to explore the factorial structure of the SRGS‐SF via exploratory factor analysis. The rest of the sample (n = 127) was selected to confirm the structure via confirmatory factor analysis. The results showed that the Chinese version of the SRGS‐SF consisted of two factors: interpersonal and intrapersonal growth. The scale also had the power to discriminate between undergraduate nursing students with high and low levels of stress‐related growth (SRG). The internal consistency and stability of the scale were also adequate. The Chinese version of the SRGS‐SF is a valid and reliable measurement for assessing SRG among undergraduate nursing students. One suitable application would be the evaluation of the process underpinning SRG and the effectiveness of interventions.
