Content validity index (CVI) of the Chinese version of RTW‐SE‐11 indicated good validity, with Inter‐rater Agreement (IR) of 0.97, item CVI of 0.90–1.00 and questionnaire CVI of 0.91. Cronbach's α coefficient of RTW‐SE‐11 (Chinese version) was 0.923, suggesting high internal consistency, with test–retest reliability of 0.799 and half‐fold reliability of 0.926.Patient or public contribution: The Chinese version of the RTW‐SE‐11 questionnaire confirmed good reliability and validity for the assessment of return to work self‐efficacy in Chinese breast cancer patients.
