Review👥 420 participantsModerate rigor✓ Source-checked📍 China
In plain English. This study translated and validated a life-balance measurement scale (related to the Friedman assessment framework used in some EFT-adjacent research) for use with Chinese nursing students. It is a psychometric validation study of a measurement tool, not a study testing EFT's clinical effectiveness.

What they found

420
people took part

The Chinese version of the FLBS showed acceptable content validity, convergent/discriminant validity, and good test-retest reliability (0.858); the optimal cutoff for depressive symptoms was 44, and life balance was found to be moderate among Chinese nursing students.
