Then the 115 nurses in teaching - therapeutic centers of shaheed Beheshti University of Medical Sciences were asked to complete the scale. Factor analysis revealed that scale had single factor. Also reliability using Cranach''s alpha coefficient for internal consistency showed moderate reliability of scale (α =0. 61) and correlation coefficient in test- retest for stability (r =0. 88). Although translation of care complexity scale in medical errors has satisfactory reliability and validity and can be used in the Iranian health system but is recommended criterion validity of scale examine by using other scales.
