Abstract: Objective To test the reliability and validity of the Clinical pHysical rEsilience assEssment Scale (CHEES) in the elderly inpatients in China. Methods A total of 362 elderly inpatients aged 60 years and over were enrolled in this study. Cronbach’s α coefficient, Spearman-Brown coefficient and Guttman coefficient were used for reliability test. Validity was assessed by content validity and construct validity based on exploratory factor analysis. Results The acceptance rate of CHEES was 90.88%, and the qualified rate of the scale was 100%. The Cronbach’s α coefficient of the total scale was 0.826, Spearman-Brown coefficient was 0.737, and Guttman coefficient was 0.731. The items of the scale were based on sufficient basis, and the expert consultation process was authoritative and reliable, and the content was comprehensive. Exploratory factor analysis extracted three common factors. The factor load of each item was 0.446-0.656, and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 57.49%. Conclusions CHEES has good reliability and validity, and is suitable for the evaluation of physical resilience of the older adults in the hospital environment.
