AB  - WHAT IS KNOWN ON THE SUBJECT?: Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS) 
      which is a measurement of mental health and well-being, was translated into 
      Chinese to assess the reliability and validity in a sample of undergraduate 
      nursing trainees in Wenzhou. WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS TO EXISTING KNOWLEDGE?: 
      Currently, there is no a reliable assessment tool to systematically evaluate 
      mental well-being in mainland China. Therefore, we undertook the translation and 
      cultural adaptation of the WEMWBS and tested the scale's reliability and 
      validity. The reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Short 
      Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale have been demonstrated in Hong Kong, 
      but the WEMWBS has not been validated in mainland China in either clinical or 
      non-clinical settings. WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE?: It might provide 
      a reliable quantitative tool to evaluate mental well-being in non-clinical 
      settings, which has important implications for mental health nursing. In 
      future,it might be a reliable quantitative tool for evaluating mental well-being 
      in other population such as hospitalized patients to improve their life quality. 
      ABSTRACT: Introduction There is growing interest worldwide in the evaluation of 
      positive mental health and wellbeing. Aim This study was to translate the 
      Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS) into Chinese and assess the 
      reliability and validity of this scale in a sample of undergraduate nursing 
      trainees. Methods A forward and backward translation protocol was used to 
      translate the scale into Chinese. The psychometric properties of the C-WEMWBS, 
      such as internal consistency reliability, test-retest reliability and factorial 
      validity, were analysed. Results All 14 items of the initial C-WEMWBS were rated 
      as conceptually equivalent to those of the original version. Confirmatory factor 
      analysis indicated the emergence of a single factor. The psychometric properties 
      of the C-WEMWBS were satisfactory, with an internal consistency reliability of 
      .94 and a test-retest reliability of .83. The item-total correlations ranged from 
      .66 to .83. There was a moderate relationship (r = .52) between the C-WEMWBS and 
      the WHO-5. Implications for practice This was the first Chinese version of the 
      WEMWBS to be developed and psychometrically assessed with a sample of 
      undergraduate nursing trainees. It provides a reliable quantitative tool to 
      evaluate mental well-being in non-clinical settings, which has important 
      implications for mental health nursing.
