Only a few studies exist on the resilience of divorced women. Furthermore, relevant instruments for assessing the resilience of divorced immigrant Southeast Asian women are rare. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to develop and examine a new Resilience Scale-Chinese version (RS-C) that is specific to divorced immigrant Southeast Asian women in Taiwan.
The study was conducted in two phases. In phase 1, 20 items were used to evaluate face and content validities. In phase 2, a cross-sectional study was conducted. In total, 118 immigrant women participated in this study and were recruited from three nongovernmental organizations providing services for immigrants in Taipei City and Miaoli and Chiayi Counties. Psychometric properties of the instrument (i.e., internal consistency, test-retest reliability, item-to-total correlation, construct validity, and convergent validity) were examined. Significance was set at p < 0.05 for all statistical tests.
The final 16-item RS-C resulted in a three-factor model. The three factors, namely personal competence, family identity, and social connections, were an acceptable fit for the data and explained 54.60% of the variance. Cronbach's α of the RS-C was 0.85, and those of its subscales ranged from 0.77 to 0.82. The correlation value of the test-retest reliability was 0.87. The RS-C was significantly associated with the General Self-Efficacy scale and the Chinese Health Questionnaire-12.
The RS-C is a brief and specific self-report tool for evaluating the resilience of divorced immigrant Southeast Asian women and demonstrated adequate reliability and validity in this study. This RS-C instrument has potential applications in both clinical practice and research with strength-based resiliency interventions. However, additional research on the RS-C is required to further establish its reliability and validity.
仅有少数研究关注离婚女性的韧性。此外，评估东南亚离婚移民女性韧性的相关工具也很少见。因此，本研究旨在开发和检验一种专门针对台湾东南亚离婚移民女性的新的韧性量表中文版（RS-C）。
本研究分两个阶段进行。在第一阶段，使用 20 个项目评估表面效度和内容效度。在第二阶段，进行了一项横断面研究。共有 118 名移民妇女参与了这项研究，她们是从台北市和苗栗、嘉义县的三个非政府组织招募的，这些组织为移民提供服务。对工具的心理测量学特性（即内部一致性、重测信度、项目与总分的相关性、结构效度和会聚效度）进行了检验。所有统计检验的显著性水平均设为 p < 0.05。
最终的 16 项 RS-C 得出了一个三因素模型。这三个因素，即个人能力、家庭认同和社会联系，与数据拟合良好，解释了 54.60%的方差。RS-C 的克朗巴赫 α 系数为 0.85，其分量表的范围为 0.77 至 0.82。重测信度的相关值为 0.87。RS-C 与一般自我效能感量表和中文版健康问卷-12 显著相关。
RS-C 是一种简短而专门用于评估东南亚离婚移民女性韧性的自我报告工具，在本研究中表现出了足够的信度和效度。这种 RS-C 工具在基于优势的韧性干预的临床实践和研究中具有应用潜力。然而，需要进一步的研究来进一步确定 RS-C 的可靠性和有效性。
