“…Resilience scores measured by CD-RISC10 and CD-RISC25 correlated with PTSD or mental health problems negatively and significantly. The results were congruent with the previous literature that showed resilience buffered mental health problems such as depressive symptoms [29,30]. In addition, White et al [31] assessed predictors of resilience in a trauma survivor sample, and their results indicated that there were significant correlations among resilience, satisfaction with life, spirituality, and depressive symptoms.…”

Objective: The current study was to compare the psychometric properties of the 25-item version (CD-RISC25), 10-item Connor-Davidson version (CD-RISC10) and 2-item Connor-Davidson version (CD-RISC2) in rehabilitation patients after injury.Method: A sample of 115 Chinese patients was measured by CD-RISC25, CD-RISC10 and CD-RISC2, PTSD Checklist-Civilian Version (PCL-C) and Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R) during the rehabilitation period.Result: (1) Cronbach's alpha values indicated sufficient and high reliability to provide confidence in interpreting the score for the three versions; (2) The resilience measured by CD-RISC25 and CD-RISC10 both correlated negatively and significantly with PTSD and mental health problems, while this was not observed when resilience was measured by CD-RISC2; (3) Through ROC curves analyses, the CD-RISC25 and CD-RISC10 had similar discrimination for positive/negative group of SCL-90 and PTSD/non-PTSD. Conclusion:The results supported the application of CD-RISC10 in clinical researches due to its excellent psychometric properties and time efficiency.

“…Further, the results of the present study showed that resilience and quality of sleep were related among pregnant women, and to further explain the results of this section, it can be pointed out that resilient individuals display more adaptive behaviors in the face of negative events in their lives (Peng et al, 2012). According to Connor (2006), resilience causes one's well-being through reducing and relieving stress and depression (Connor, (Bonanno, 2004;Connor & Davidson, 2003;Masten, 2001), and some researchers have it that resilient individuals are more flexible in the face of traumatic circumstances and maintain themselves in such situations (Friborg, Barlaug, Martinussen, Rosenvinge, & Hjemdal, 2005).…”

Objective: Given the significance of sleep quality among pregnant women and its effects on the health of the fetus and the lack of sufficient studies in this field as well, the present study aimed to both identify some of the psychological factors associated with sleep quality among pregnant women and investigate the relationship between sleep quality among pregnant women and other variables, including depression, anxiety, stress, resilience, perceived social support, and marital adjustment. Materials and methods: In this descriptive-correlational study, 425 pregnant women, visiting Islamabad and Ravansarbased prenatal care centers (randomly selected from the townships of Kermanshah Province (Iran)) in 2015, were selected. To collect the required data, the Locke-Wallace Marital Adjustment Test (LWSMAT), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Conner-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RIS), Zimet's Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and depression, anxiety and stress scales were used. Results:The results of data analysis demonstrated that there was a significant relationship between the quality of sleep and variables like depression, anxiety, stress, perception, social support and marital adjustment. Further, the results showed that the hierarchical regression of all variables could predict 31% of the changes of sleep quality. Additionally, anxiety, depression and stress were ranked first, second and third in terms of the shares of variables in predicting the quality of sleep. Whereas, resilience, perceived social support and marital adjustment were unable to predict the quality of sleep. Conclusion: Given the results of the present study, it is suggested that the roles of the psychological factors be considered in improving the quality of sleep among pregnant women.

“…The resilience approach in mental health research proposes a biopsychosocial model, including components relevant to biological predispositions, personal adaptive and maladaptive re-activities (e.g., coping behaviors), individual psychological development and social factors [54]. In this realm, measures of resilience have been found strongly associated with mental health in both general population and physical illness [55][56][57][58][59]. In line with present findings, the original as well as all other studies performed have also found sound negative correlations between RS-14 and depression, anxiety, stress, and posttraumatic stress measures [5,11,26,27,30].…”

Background: Resilience is defined as the capacity to successfully maintain or regain mental health and well-being in the face of significant adversity or risk. The Wagnild and Young Resilience Scale-14 (RS-14) is a brief measure assessing resilience. We aimed to assess the psychometric properties of its Greek version in three samples, people with long-term conditions (LTCs) attending the emergency department, people with LTCs attending specialty clinics and people without LTCs. Associations between resilience and mental illness, suicidality, and quality of life were also investigated. Methods:The RS-14 was administered to 495 participants; 366 patients with diabetes, chronic pulmonary obstructive disease (COPD) and rheumatic diseases attending either the emergency department (N=74) or specialty clinics (N=292) and 129 individuals without LTCs. Diagnosis of mental disorders was established by the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI). Associations with depressive symptom severity (PHQ-9), suicidal risk (RASS), and health-related quality of life (WHOQOL-BREF) were also investigated. Results:The Greek version of RS-14 showed a coherent one-dimensional factor structure with remarkable stability across the three samples. Cronbach's alphas were 0.88-0.91 across the three samples, being 0.89 for the entire sample. Furthermore, greater RS-14 scores were associated with better mental health, lower depressive symptom severity and suicidal risk and better health-related quality of life and satisfaction with general health. Conclusion:The results of the present study showed that the Greek version of RS-14 may reliably assess resilience. In addition, lower levels of resilience are associated with established mental disorders and increased suicidal risk, and thus may detrimentally impact mental health. These findings deserve replication in prospective studies.
