Aims And Objectives: To improve the development of the Chinese version of Perceived Nursing Work Environment (C-PNWE) scale by examination and application and to explore the nurses' perception of their working environment in a hospital.
Background: The C-PNWE scale was translated and revised from the PNWE scale. The least of perfection is that the development of C-PNWE ignored that the psychometric properties of the PNWE instrument were established of critical care nurses and further application and testing of the PNWE in various patient care settings were recommended.
