          Background/Objective:

          The aim was to analyse the psychometric properties of the 10-item version of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC 10©) in breast cancer patients. Method: A sample of 169 Spanish women who had undergone surgery for breast cancer completed the CD-RISC 10©, along with questionnaires assessing life satisfaction, emotional intelligence, self-esteem, and positive and negative affect. Results: Confirmatory Factor Analysis supported a single-factor structure with adequate fit indices. Reliability was analysed by calculating McDonald’s omega coefficient, which yielded a value of .83. Validity evidence based on relationships with other variables was provided by positive and significant correlations between scores on the CD-RISC 10© and scores on emotional intelligence (clarity and repair), life satisfaction, self-esteem and positive affect, and by a negative and significant correlation with negative affect. The majority of these correlations were above |.50|. Conclusions: The CD-RISC 10© has satisfactory psychometric properties and is a suitable tool for measuring resilience in patients with cancer. The instrument is quick and easy to apply and may be used in both clinical and research contexts.

          Resumen

          Antecedentes/Objetivo:

          El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar las propiedades psicométricas de la versión de 10 ítems de la Escala de Resiliencia Connor-Davidson (CD-RISC 10©) en pacientes con cáncer de mama. Método: Una muestra de 169 mujeres españolas que se habían sometido a cirugía por cáncer de mama completaron el CD-RISC 10©, junto con cuestionarios que evaluaban la satisfacción vital, inteligencia emocional, autoestima, y afecto positivo y negativo. Resultados: El análisis factorial confirmatorio apoyó una estructura unifactorial con índices de ajuste adecuados. La fiabilidad se analizó calculando el coeficiente omega de McDonald que arrojó un valor de 0,83. Fue proporcionada evidencia de validez de relación con otras variables mediante correlaciones positivas y significativas entre las puntuaciones en el CD-RISC 10© y las puntuaciones en inteligencia emocional (claridad y reparación), satisfacción vital, autoestima y afecto positivo, y por una correlación negativa y significativa con afecto negativo. La mayoría de estas correlaciones estaban por encima de 50|0,50|. Conclusiones: El CD-RISC 10© tiene propiedades psicométricas satisfactorias, siendo una herramienta adecuada para medir la resiliencia en pacientes con cáncer. El instrumento es rápido y fácil de aplicar y puede usarse tanto en contextos clínicos como de investigación.

          Development of a new resilience scale: the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC).

          Resilience may be viewed as a measure of stress coping ability and, as such, could be an important target of treatment in anxiety, depression, and stress reactions. We describe a new rating scale to assess resilience. The Connor-Davidson Resilience scale (CD-RISC) comprises of 25 items, each rated on a 5-point scale (0-4), with higher scores reflecting greater resilience. The scale was administered to subjects in the following groups: community sample, primary care outpatients, general psychiatric outpatients, clinical trial of generalized anxiety disorder, and two clinical trials of PTSD. The reliability, validity, and factor analytic structure of the scale were evaluated, and reference scores for study samples were calculated. Sensitivity to treatment effects was examined in subjects from the PTSD clinical trials. The scale demonstrated good psychometric properties and factor analysis yielded five factors. A repeated measures ANOVA showed that an increase in CD-RISC score was associated with greater improvement during treatment. Improvement in CD-RISC score was noted in proportion to overall clinical global improvement, with greatest increase noted in subjects with the highest global improvement and deterioration in CD-RISC score in those with minimal or no global improvement. The CD-RISC has sound psychometric properties and distinguishes between those with greater and lesser resilience. The scale demonstrates that resilience is modifiable and can improve with treatment, with greater improvement corresponding to higher levels of global improvement. Copyright 2003 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

              Validity and reliability of the Spanish modified version of the Trait Meta-Mood Scale.

              This study examined validity and reliability of the Spanish modified version of the Trait Meta-Mood Scale in a sample of 292 Spanish undergraduates. The internal consistency estimates for subscales were all above .85, and the test-retest correlations after 4 wk. ranged from .60 to .83. The correlations between scores on the Spanish modified version of the Trait Meta-Mood Scale subscales and criterion measures (Beck Depression Inventory, Satisfaction With Life Scale, and Ruminative Responses Scale) were in the expected direction. In summary, the Spanish modified version of the Trait Meta-Mood Scale had appropriate reliability and significant relations with criterion variables as in previous studies with the English version.
