Objective:　The　objective　of　the　study　was　to　translate　the　revised　dyadic　adjustment　scale　into　Chinese　and　evaluate　its　psychometric　properties　in　gynaecological　cancer　patients　and　their　male　partners.　Methods:　A　cross-sectional　design　with　a　random　subsample　re-tested　at　the　one-week　interval　was　adopted.　Gynaecological　cancer　patients　and　their　partners　were　asked　to　complete　the　Chinese　version　of　the　revised　dyadic　adjustment　and　quality　of　marriage　index.　Internal　consistency,　test-retest　reliability,　convergent　validity,　structural　validity　and　known-group　validity　was　assessed.　Results:　A　total　of　252　participants　(i.e.,　126　female　patients　and　126　male　partners)　were　recruited.　The　Chinese　version　of　the　Revised　Dyadic　Adjustment　showed　good　internal　consistency　(Cronbach＇s　alpha　=　0.85),　test-retest　reliability　(r　=　0.88),　known　group　validity　and　adequate　convergent　validity　with　a　significant　positive　correlation　(r　=　0.60)　with　the　Quality　of　Marriage　Index.　Confirmatory　factor　analysis　indicated　an　acceptable　model　fit　to　a　second-order　three-factor　structure　(GFI　=　0.913,　RMR　=　0.046,　CFI　=　0.932).　Conclusions:　The　Chinese　version　of　revised　dyadic　adjustment　demonstrated　good　reliability　and　acceptable　validity　in　gynaecological　cancer　patients　and　male　partners.　The　scale　can　be　used　to　assess　the　effectiveness　of　clinical　nursing　services　for　couples　on　their　relationship　and　to　compare　marital　satisfaction　and　adjustment　between　China　and　other　parts　of　the　world.
