description Objective To translate the Online Social Support Scale (OSSS) into Chinese version, and obtain its reliability and validity among older adults.Methods Cultural adaptation of the English version of the OSSS according to the WHO scale introduction standardized process with the Brislin translation model, and 417 older adults from inpatient department of a tertiary hospital, community service centers and parks in Wuhan were selected for the questionnaire survey using convenience sampling to test the reliability and validity of the scale.Results The Chinese version of the OSSS included 4 dimensions with a total of 19 entries. The cumulative variance contribution of the 4 common factors extracted by exploratory factor analysis was 64.580%; validated factor analysis showed that χ2/df = 2.354, RMR = 0.040, IFI = 0.919, CFI = 0.918, TLI = 0.901. The overall Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale was 0.939, and the re-test reliability was 0.936.Conclusion The Chinese version of the Online Social Support Scale has good reliability and validity and can be used as an online social support tool for older adults in China.
