Adaptação transcultural, confiabilidade e validade da escala de resiliência

Abstract

This study describes the cross-cultural adaptation to Portuguese and the psychometric evaluation of the resilience scale developed by Wagnild & Young. The scale was adapted for a sample of students from public schools in São Gonçalo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Data from the pilot study (203 students interviewed at two points in time) and from the entire study (977) are presented. The cross-cultural adaptation showed good results in the semantic equivalence for: general meaning (above 90.0%) and referential meaning (above 85.0%). Chronbach alpha was 0.85 in the pilot study and 0.80 in the total sample. Kappa between the two points in time was regular and moderate, and the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.746 (p = 0.000). Factorial analysis indicated three non-homogeneous factors. Construct validity demonstrated direct and significant correlation with self-esteem, family supervision, life satisfaction, and social support. There was an inverse correlation with the scale that evaluates psychological violence.

“…Of these, 36 were in journals specifi c to public health* and, with the exception of one from 1999, all were published in the current decade. Some of these Brazilian experiences have been guided by the proposal of Herdman et al, either totally 39,40,47,51,52 or partially. 1,11,16,[21][22][23]26,45,54,64 …”

“…Resilience Scale -RS This scale was developed by Wagnild, Young 9 in 1993 and was validated in Brazilian Portuguese by Pesce et al 10 in 2005. This scale includes 25 items positively described with 4-point Likert-type answers, ranging from "fully disagree" (1) to "fully agree" (4).…”

“…The RS was used in this research in order to evaluate individual resilience potential, considering positive personality traits that identify the capacity for individual adaptation 9,10 .…”

Patients in Radiotherapy: A Study of Coping

“…Esse autor acrescenta ainda que este processo dinâmico de resiliência implica numa interação entre processos de risco e proteção. Pesce, et al (2005) destacam que situações de risco, como as descritas em seu estudo, tornam a pessoa vulnerável no confronto com as situações de estresse. Para superar estes obstáculos, os fatores de proteção podem moderar a força dos fatores de risco e em conjunto com as estratégias de coping proteger o indivíduo dos efeitos adversos da vivencia dos eventos estressores.…”
