“…Original psychometric analyses of the CD-RISC in a primarily Caucasian sample in the United States found a five-factor solution, which has been replicated in a study of adolescents in China [29] and in a general population sample in Korea [30]. These five factors were described as follows: (1) personal competence, high standards, and tenacity; (2) trust in one’s instincts, tolerance of negative affect, and strengthening effects of change; (3) positive acceptance of change and secure relationships; (4) control; and (5) spiritual influences.…”

Purpose Prevention of mental disorders worldwide requires a greater understanding of protective processes associated with lower levels of mental health problems in children who face pervasive life stressors. This study aimed to identify culturally appropriate indicators of individual-level protective factors in Rwandan adolescents where risk factors, namely poverty and a history of trauma, have dramatically shaped youth mental health. Methods The sample included 367 youth aged 10–17 in rural Rwanda. An earlier qualitative study of the same population identified the constructs “kwihangana” (patience/perseverance) and “kwigirira ikizere” (self-esteem) as capturing local perceptions of individual-level characteristics that helped reduce risks of mental health problems in youth. Nine items from the locally derived constructs were combined with 25 items from an existing scale that aligned well with local constructs—the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). We assessed the factor structure of the CD-RISC expanded scale using exploratory factor analysis and determined the correlation of the expanded CD-RISC with depression and functional impairment. Results The CD-RISC expanded scale displayed high internal consistency (α = 0.93). Six factors emerged, which we labeled: perseverance, adaptability, strength/sociability, active engagement, self-assuredness, and sense of self-worth. Protective factor scale scores were significantly and inversely correlated with depression and functional impairment (r = −0.49 and r = −0.38, respectively). Conclusions An adapted scale displayed solid psychometric properties for measuring protective factors in Rwandan youth. Identifying culturally appropriate protective factors is a key component of research associated with the prevention of mental health problems and critical to the development of cross-cultural strength-based interventions for children and families.

Less direct patient care delivered by medical trainees by the end of a hematology‐oncology ward rotation: Association with empathy and related factors

Objective The education of trainee physicians in hematology‐oncology is challenged by inherent stressors of hematology‐oncology. Clinical work load, death and dying, and the known phenomenon of empathy decline during clinical education affect trainees. Time spent with patients or direct patient care time (DPCT) is influenced by many factors, which ultimately affect medical education. Therefore, DPCT may decrease by the end training on a busy hematology‐oncology ward rotation. Methods Internal medicine interns and residents (n = 64) rotating on a hematology‐oncology ward rotation were consecutively selected to participate. Questionnaires containing Likert scale questions assessing time spent with patients before and after the rotation, empathy/resilience/distress measurements (Interpersonal Reactivity Index [IRI], Connors‐Davidson Resilience Scale [CD‐RISC], and Impact of Events Scale‐Revised [IES‐R], respectively), and demographic and situational information were collected at the beginning and end of the rotation Results DPCT decreased from over 10 to 15 minutes per patient to slightly over 1 to 5 minutes with over half of the trainees spending less than 1 minute per patient per day (P < .001, Cohen's d = 1.05). Empathy scores decreased 2.01 points from 58.9 to 56.8 (P = .018, Cohen's d = 0.33) during the rotation. DPCT decrease was associated mistreatment (P < .001) and lack of support (P = .001) while endorsing external issues (P = .002) and longer rotation time predicted for greater DPCT accounting for 67% of DPCT variance on multivariate analysis. Conclusion Medical trainees in oncology who feel a lack of social/familial support and feel mistreated by mentors/superiors spend significantly less time with patients. Educational initiatives should replicate and utilize these associations to enhance patient‐centric care in oncology.

“…The total score ranges from 0-100, with higher scores reflecting greater resilience. The CD-RISC scale has demonstrated internal consistency with Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficients ranging between 0.86 and 0.92 (Baek et al, 2010;Fu, Leoutsakos & Underwood, 2014;Jung et al 2012;Karairmak, 2010;Yu et al, 2011).…”

“…For instance, Yu and Zhang (2007) reported three factors (tenacity, strength and optimism), while Singh and Yu (2010) reported a four factor structure (hardiness, optimism, resourcefulness and purpose). Studies by Jung et al (2012) and Yu et al (2011) yielded a five factor structure. Bums and Anstey (2010) considered the CD-RSC a uni-di mensional resilience instrument (Bums & Anstey, 2010).…”

This study validated the psychometric structure of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-R1SC; in a sample of 227 homeless youth in Ghana. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) with Varimax rotation was used to extract factor structures. About 62% of the total variance was accounted for by a three-factor structure: personal competence and tenacity, optimism and achievement motivation. Evidence of the external validity of scales was supported by the positive correlation between resilience and perceived social support scores. The CD-RISC appears to yield scores reliable for assessing resilience among homeless youth in a developing world context.
