To translate the Self-Care for Aspiration Pneumonia Prevention Scale into the Chinese and validate its reliability and validity among community dwelling elderly with risk of dysphasia. A cross-sectional survey. A total of 430 elderly with risk of dysphasia were recruited. The reliability was measured by internal consistency, split half reliability, and test-retest reliability. The validity was evaluated by expert consultation and factor analysis. The translated scale had ideal reliability. The content validity index (S-CVI) was 0.952. The 3-factor structure, supported by the eigenvalues, total variance explained, and scree plot, was obtained by using exploratory factor analysis. And as a result of a confirmatory factor analysis, the model fitting indexes were all in the acceptable range. The Chinese version of the Self-Care for Aspiration Pneumonia Prevention scale can contribute to clinical practice and education to improve self-care for aspiration pneumonia prevention among elderly at risk of dysphasia. © 2021 The Authors.
