“…Although there were gender differences regarding which items appear to matter most to dimensions of resilience, there were no differences in overall CYRM scores by gender. This is consistent with other studies that find that adolescent girls and boys in the Middle East have similar CYRM-28 scores (e.g., Ghannam & Thabet, 2014;Zand et al, 2016).…”

“…The CYRM-28 has shown a three-factor structure corresponding to individual capacities, relationships with caregivers, and contextual resources in samples from Canada (Liebenberg, Ungar, & Van de Vijver, 2012). Work in the Middle Eastern region suggests that these three factors may hold there as well (e.g., Ghannam & Thabet, 2014;Zand, Liebenberg, & Shamloo, 2016), although comprehensive analyses of reliability and validity-including factor structure and item loadings-have not been provided, nor the Arabic translation made available in published work. For use in omnibus surveys, a shorter screening measure with 12 items (CYRM-12) and a single-factor structure was developed and validated with two Canadian samples, one at risk and one population based (Liebenberg, Ungar, & LeBlanc, 2013).…”

Resilience in Context: A Brief and Culturally Grounded Measure for Syrian Refugee and Jordanian Host‐Community Adolescents

Validated measures are needed for assessing resilience in conflict settings. An Arabic version of the Child and Youth Resilience Measure (CYRM) was developed and tested in Jordan. Following qualitative work, surveys were implemented with male/female, refugee/nonrefugee samples (N = 603, 11–18 years). Confirmatory factor analyses tested three‐factor structures for 28‐ and 12‐item CYRMs and measurement equivalence across groups. CYRM‐12 showed measurement reliability and face, content, construct (comparative fit index = .92–.98), and convergent validity. Gender‐differentiated item loadings reflected resource access and social responsibilities. Resilience scores were inversely associated with mental health symptoms, and for Syrian refugees were unrelated to lifetime trauma exposure. In assessing individual, family, and community‐level dimensions of resilience, the CYRM is a useful measure for research and practice with refugee and host‐community youth.

“…In this study, we examined the factor structure of the CYRM-28 in a sample of Australian Indigenous secondary boarding school students as part of a broader validation process and to specifically assess the impact of contextual and cross-cultural adaptation processes which amended a standard measurement instrument. Previous studies examining the factor structure of the CYRM-28 across samples in different countries demonstrated that whilst there are common elements of resilience across different populations, the way items grouped was different between contexts ( 27 – 31 ). These previous examinations of the factor structure of resilience highlighted aspects of relevance the our study: the importance of parent (caregiver) capacity; a sample of vulnerable youth; and more collective ways of being ( 27 , 29 , 30 ).…”

“…An adapted version of the CYRM-28 scale ( 13 ), was administered to measure participants' resilience. The CYRM-28 has demonstrated high reliability and validity in previous studies, although differences in the factor structure have been identified ( 11 , 27 , 29 – 31 ). The scale was adapted to suit the unique situation for Indigenous Australian boarding school students as illustrated in Table 2 .…”

“…The Child and Youth Resilience Measure (CYRM-28) is an internationally-developed survey instrument to measure child and youth resilience. It has been validated and adapted in a number of cultures and contexts, including Canada, Aotearoa New Zealand, South Africa, and with refugee populations ( 26 – 31 ). Recommendations for any application of the CYRM-28 include the establishment of a community advisory committee to ensure cultural and contextual relevance, including the selection of site specific questions ( 32 ).…”

Introduction: Resilience is a strengths-based construct that is useful for understanding differences in health and wellbeing among youth. There are a range of validated survey instruments available to measure resilience for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (hereafter respectfully Indigenous1) youth. However, standard international instruments should only be used if they have been subjected to a rigorous cross-cultural adaptation process and psychometric evaluation in the target population to ensure their validity. The aim of the study was to validate an adapted Child and Youth Resilience Measure (CYRM-28) within a sample of Indigenous Australian boarding school students.Method: The CYRM-28, augmented with an additional 11 site specific items was administered to a purposive sample of Australian Indigenous boarding school students (n = 233) as part of the broader T4S survey instrument that captures demographic information and measures resilience, psychological distress and risk, and service usage. Confirmatory factor analysis was undertaken to verify the relationship between the observed variables with the theoretical constructs of the CYRM-28 and previous findings on the factor structure. Cronbach alpha was also calculated to assess the internal consistency of the CYRM-28 within this sample.Results: Survey data were not a good fit for any previously identified models of the CYRM-28, although the inclusion of a site-specific variable improved the overall fit statistics. Two separate scales were confirmed that capture the sources and expressions of resilience for Indigenous Australian boarding school students. This structure is different to previous findings in relation to the CYRM-28, but consistent with conceptualizations of resilience as a dynamic process.Conclusions: The findings are useful in guiding the future use of the CYRM-28 instrument, explorations of Indigenous youth resilience, and for services working with Indigenous youth in out of home care situations. They highlight contextual differences in the measurement of resilience and the importance of validating standard instruments that have been subjected to rigorous cross-cultural adaptation processes. The two scales offer practical guidance to human services working with Indigenous youth on strategies to build and monitor resilience in Indigenous Australian youth and contribute to the emergent understanding of their resilience.
