“…The Brief Resilient Coping Scale (BRCS) [ 14 ] is a widely used questionnaire in cancer patients [ 15 , 16 ] with a 4-item, and unidimensional outcome measure designed to capture to what extent an individual copes with stress in a resilient fashion [ 14 ]. Resilience has attracted the interest of the scientific community during the Covid-19 outbreak, as a protective factor in mental health.…”

Background The purpose of this study was to investigate the sociodemographic factors related to psychological distress, spirituality, and resilience, and to examine the mediating role of spirituality with respect to psychological distress and resilience in patients with advanced, unresectable cancer during the Covid-19 pandemic. Methods A prospective, cross-sectional design was adopted. Data were collected from 636 participants with advanced cancer at 15 tertiary hospitals in Spain between February 2019 and December 2021. Participants completed self-report measures: Brief Resilient Coping Scale (BRCS), Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI-18), and Spiritual well-being (FACIT-Sp). Hierarchical linear regression models were used to explore the mediating role of spirituality. Results Spirituality was significantly different according to the person’s age and marital status. Psychological distress accounted for 12% of the variance in resilience (β = − 0.32, p < 0.001) and spirituality, another 15% (β =0.48, p < 0.001). Spirituality acted as a partial mediator in the relationship between psychological distress and resilience in individuals with advanced cancer. Conclusions Both psychological distress and spirituality played a role in resilience in cases of advanced cancer. Spirituality can help promote subjective well-being and increased resilience in these subjects.

“…Once the cross-validation study had been completed, the same analyses were all performed on the total sample. Given that the same factorial solution had been obtained in the first sub-sample with EFA and in the second sub-sample with CFA, we proceeded to analyze the total sample with the CFA of the previously selected factorial solution (following the recommendations of Calderon et al, 2022) to take advantage of all the information available in the data. Furthermore, a measurement invariance study by gender and across the age groups (emerging, established and middle adulthood) was carried out, using multi-group confirmatory factor analysis (MGCFA) with the factor model selected previously (Jöreskog, 2005;Millsap & Yun-Tein, 2004).…”

Postformal thought is the highest state of thinking in adults, extending beyond formal operations. Sinnott’s Complex Postformal Thought Questionnaire (PFTQ) is one of the most widely used measures of this construct and thus, the main aim of this study was to translate a Spanish version of the PFTQ and to validate it using a sample of 1093 subjects aged from 18 to 71 years. A cross-validation study was carried out and measurement invariance was analyzed by gender and across age groups: emerging adults, 18-29 years; established adults, 30-45 years; and middle-aged adults, 46-60 years. Furthermore, evidence of validity was assessed relative to cognitive and personality measures (i.e.: mindfulness, grit, resilience, intolerance of uncertainty, conscientiousness, metacognition and learning strategies), as was the developmental pattern of the PFTQ. In the cross-validation study, both the exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses indicated it was appropriate to consider a unidimensional structure. Likewise, the PFTQ exhibited good psychometric properties (α = .84; Ω = .83), and there was reasonable evidence of strict invariance by gender and across age groups. Moreover, the PFTQ was significantly and positively related to metacognition, learning strategies, mindfulness, conscientiousness, resilience and grit, whereas it was significantly and negatively related to intolerance of uncertainty, albeit to a lesser extent. Finally, a developmental progression of the PFTQ was observed during adulthood, with significant differences observed between the latent means of the three age groups, which was associated with moderate effect sizes between the emerging and the established or middle-age adult groups (d = 0.28 and d = 0.37, respectively). By contrast, a very small and practically negligible effect size was detected between the established and middle-aged adult groups (d = 0.09). Relativistic operations would appear to underlie psychosocial development in established adulthood, when they are most needed. Overall, the Spanish version of the PFTQ showed good psychometric properties and validity evidence of its utility to studying adult thinking.

“…Several factors have been proposed as resources assumed to buffer the effects of events such as cancer diseases on QoL and mental health. The most relevant resource factors are sense of coherence ( Antonovsky, 1993 ; Asaba & Okawa, 2021 ), dispositional optimism ( Carver & Scheier, 2014 ; Forte et al, 2022 ), resilience ( Calderon et al, 2022 ; Lau, Khoo, Ho, & Tan, 2021 ; Luthar, Cicchetti, & Becker, 2000 ; Zhou, Ning, Wang, & Li, 2022 ), self-esteem ( Niveau, New, & Beaudoin, 2021 ), and self-efficacy ( Bandura, 1997 ; Banik et al, 2017 ). Multiple studies have consistently shown that these resource variables are associated with QoL ( Asaba & Okawa, 2021 ; Finck, Barradas, Zenger, & Hinz, 2018 ; Giglio, Rodriguez-Blazquez, Pedro-Cuesta, & Forjaz, 2015 ; Milbury, Tannir, & Cohen, 2011 ; Zenger, Brix, Borowski, Stolzenburg, & Hinz, 2010 ; Zhou et al, 2022 ), mental health ( Fischer, Cripe, & Rand, 2018 ; Plitzko, Mehnert-Theuerkauf, & Götze, 2020 ; Uchida et al, 2018 ), spiritual well-being ( Kavak, Özdemir, & Dural, 2021 ), and health behavior ( Thomas et al, 2020 ).…”
