Results The CVR of this scale is 0. 84,the construction validity analysis show that six factor explain item total square differ as 53.77%. The total Cronbach's α coefficient is 0. 83,the Cronbach' sα coefficient of per dimension is from 0.67 to 0. 80,Corrected by formula of Spearman-Brown, split-half reliability of whole scale is 0. 70, split-half reliability of per factor is 0. 56 ～ 0. 81; The test-retest reliability is 0. 84, The test-retest reliability of per factor is 0. 61 ～ 0. 85. Conclusions The process and results of establishment of the clinical communication competence scale of nursing students meets psychometrics request.
