BackgroundIn recent years resilience has gained clinical relevance in sociological, psychological, and medical disciplines, and a lot of scales measuring resilience have been developed and have been utilized in the western countries. The aim of the study was to assess the psychometric properties of the Italian version of the 14-item Resilience Scale (RS-14), by describing its validity and reliability. As agreed with the authors of the original English version of the RS-14, it was translated into Italian. Then the standard procedure for back-translation was followed.MethodsIn total, 150 participants among the nursing and professional education students of the University of Insubria of Varese and health workers of the “ASST dei Sette Laghi-Ospedale di Circolo” of Varese were enrolled. The responses to the questionnaires were collected only from the students and the health workers between the ages of 18 and 65 years who gave their consent to participate in the study from April to September 2015. A subsample of 26 students and health workers was retested on the RS-14, 5 weeks after the first assessment. The questionnaires were handed out to 214 people, and 150 sets of questionnaires (70%) were returned, of which eight were subsequently removed because >60% of the answers were missing. In order to ensure anonymity, every completed questionnaire was identified only via a code.ResultsNo significant differences were found between the mean values of the resilience scores between women (76.1) and men (76.3), with unpaired t-test = −0.08 and P=0.93. Similarly, no difference between resilience scores were found between mean age group of 18–25 years (75.3) and 26–65 years (78.7), with t-test = 1.6. The overall Cronbach’s alpha of the RS-14 is 0.88, P=0.10. The RS-14 is negatively correlated with the Beck Depression Inventory-Primary Care Version and the 12-item General Health Questionnaire and positively correlated with the World Health Organization Quality of Life-Brief Version. The test-retest reliability, assessed on the 26 subjects 5 weeks after the first evaluation, highlighted an intraclass correlation coefficient value equal to 0.65. Factor analysis retains three factors, and it considers the factor loadings >0.40: RS-14-06 (‘I am determined’) is loaded on all the factors and RS-14-12 (‘In an emergency, I am someone people can generally rely on’) is not loaded on any factor.ConclusionThis study demonstrates that the Italian RS-14 has psychometric properties with a good level of internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.88), an adequate concurrent validity, verified by relationships with the other scales and as it was expected from literature, and an acceptable test-retest reliability.

“…A review suggest that interventions aimed at changing health behaviors in adolescents should target the key constructs of the theories [ 84 ]. For example, the core construct of the SCT is self-efficacy, which is the individual confidence in personal ability to acquire a certain health behavior [ 85 ]. Research criterion and findings with adolescents suggested that these constructs are important and reliable mechanisms of dietary and PA behaviors that can be changed when using extant intervention programs.…”

Impact of Strategies for Preventing Obesity and Risk Factors for Eating Disorders among Adolescents: A Systematic Review

An effective behavior change program is the first line of prevention for youth obesity. However, effectiveness in prevention of adolescent obesity requires several approaches, with special attention paid to disordered eating behaviors and psychological support, among other environmental factors. The aim of this systematic review is to compare the impact of two types of obesity prevention programs, inclusive of behavior change components, on weight outcomes. “Energy-balance” studies are aimed at reducing calories from high-energy sources and increasing physical activity (PA) levels, while “shared risk factors for obesity and eating disorders” focus on reducing disordered eating behaviors to promote a positive food and eating relationship. A systematic search of ProQuest, PubMed, PsycInfo, SciELO, and Web of Science identified 8825 articles. Thirty-five studies were included in the review, of which 20 regarded “energy-balance” and 15 “shared risk factors for obesity and eating disorders”. “Energy-balance” studies were unable to support maintenance weight status, diet, and PA. “Shared risk factors for obesity and eating disorders” programs also did not result in significant differences in weight status over time. However, the majority of “shared risk factors for obesity and eating disorders” studies demonstrated reduced body dissatisfaction, dieting, and weight-control behaviors. Research is needed to examine how a shared risk factor approach can address both obesity and eating disorders.

“…For example, "self-efficacy", the key construct of the social cognitive theory (SCT) is similar to "perceived behavioral control" (PBC) of the theory of planned behavior (TPB). Moreover, attitudes in the TPB are comparable to the expectations of the SCT, which is related to physical and cognitive beliefs about healthy eating (e.g., healthy eating can help weight control) [53].…”

Background: Health behavior theories are useful to interpret adolescents' dietary behaviors. Evidences show that theories are influenced by social and psychological determinants. So, the purpose of this study is to systematically review studies that tested social cognitive theories (non-integrated) that predict adolescents' dietary behaviors. Methods: A structured electronic search of all publication years (through April 2016) was conducted to identify studies in MEDLINE, SciELO, PsycINFO, Scopus, and LILACS with full text. Included publications were cross-sectional and longitudinal (non-intervention) studies involving adolescents (10 to 18 years) that examined the associations between constructs of social-cognitive theories and dietary behaviors. Related strings in titles, abstracts, and indexing fields were searched. Results: Theories used to explain dietary intake were the planned behavior and the social cognitive. It was observed evidences of positive associations between the social cognitive constructs and the fruits, the vegetables, the milk groups, and the whole-wheat foods (e.g., bread rich in fiber) and negative associations with sugarsweetened beverages, soft drinks, snacks high in fat, sugar, and/or sodium, and sweet treats. Theories explained greater proportion of variance for intention to dietary intake. The variance for intention ranged from 3% for pizzas, candy bars, candies, and sugar-sweetened beverages to 68% for whole-wheat food (i.e., bread rich in fiber). Conclusion: Longitudinal designs are necessary to comprehend the theories and evaluate the behavioral changes. Finally, the use of food groups should be employed in the studies to help the comparisons and present higher reproducibility. Studies always based on objective, systematic, and rigorous evidences.
