Objective: This study aims to evaluate a burnout scale specifically developed for operating room nurses. Methods: The Brislin translation model was utilized to translate and back-translate the scale. Following cultural adaptation and a preliminary investigation, the Chinese version of the Operating Room Nurse Burnout Scale was finalized. A convenience sampling method was employed to select 445 operating room nurses in Anhui Province as research participants to evaluate the scale's reliability and validity. Results: The Chinese version of the Operating Room Nurse Burnout Scale consists of 33 items, categorized into four dimensions: personal factors, occupational nature factors, interpersonal relationship factors, and organizational factors. The item-level content validity index (I-CVI) was 0.849, and the scale-level content validity index (S-CVI/Ave) indicated good content validity. Exploratory factor analysis yielded a Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) value of 0.968, while Bartlett's test of sphericity demonstrated a chi-square value of 11,288 (p < 0.01). Four common factors were extracted, accounting for a cumulative variance contribution of 65.9%. The overall Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.968, the split-half Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.925, and the test-retest Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.974.The Chinese version of the Nurse Burnout Scale demonstrates robust reliability and validity, making it suitable for assessing burnout levels among operating room nurses.
