Abstract: Objective　To translate the Multidimensional Fear of Death Scale（MFODS），and to filter items and construct structure of Chinese version of MFODS based on Chinese cultural background.Methods　A total of 15 community health service institutions in Beijing was selected to conduct a questionnaire survey on patients by a convenient sampling method from May to August 2017，and experts were organized to translate，back-translate the MFODS，then pre-investigation were conducted.The subjects were randomly divided into two groups，one group for filtering items and evaluating reliability and validity of MFODS，and the other group for verifying the reliability and validity of the scale.Results　In this study，1 100 questionnaires were distributed，and 1 031 questionnaires were effective，with a recovery rate of 93.7%.Through items filtering and multiple exploratory factor analysis，6 common factors were extracted，containing 33 items，and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 52.598%.The Cronbach'sαof the scale was 0.916，and of each dimension was 0.625-0.843.The retest reliability coefficient of the scale was 0.891，and of each dimension was 0.616-0.855.Six common factors were extracted in the other group，and cumulative variance contribution rate was 54.292%；the Cronbach'sαof total scale was 0.924，and of each dimension was 0.595-0.835.Conclusion　The Chinese version of MFODS constructed has a good reliability and validity，while it still needs to be further adjusted and improved in accordance with the Chinese culture.
