The purpose of this study was to develop a publicly available, psychometrically sound item bank and short forms for measuring resilience in any population, but especially resilience in individuals with chronic medical conditions or long-term disability.
A panel of 9 experts including disability researchers, clinical psychologists, and health outcomes researchers developed a definition of resilience that guided item development. The rigorous methodology used focus groups, cognitive interviews, and modern psychometric theory quantitative methods, including item response theory (IRT). Items were administered to a sample of people with chronic medical conditions commonly associated with disability (N = 1,457) and to a general population sample (N = 300) representative of the Unites States general population with respect to age, gender, race, and ethnicity.
The final item bank includes 28 items calibrated to IRT with the scores on a T-metric. A mean of 50 represents the mean resilience in the general population sample. Four and eight item short forms are available, and their scores are highly correlated with the item bank score (r ≥ .94). Reliability is excellent across most of the resilience continuum. Initial analyses provide strong support for validity of the score.
The findings support reliability and validity of the University of Washington Resilience Scale (UWRS) for assessing resilience in any population, including individuals with chronic health conditions or disabilities. It can be administered using computerized adaptive testing or by short forms. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).
本研究旨在开发一个可供公众使用的、具有良好心理测量学特性的项目库和简式量表，用于测量任何人群的韧性，尤其是患有慢性疾病或长期残疾的个体的韧性。
一个由 9 名专家组成的小组，包括残疾研究人员、临床心理学家和健康结果研究人员，制定了一个韧性的定义，该定义指导了项目的开发。使用严格的方法，包括焦点小组、认知访谈和现代心理测量理论的定量方法，如项目反应理论（IRT）。项目库中的项目由一组患有常见残疾相关慢性疾病的人群（N=1457）和具有代表性的美国一般人群（N=300）进行测试，该一般人群在年龄、性别、种族和民族方面与美国一般人群具有代表性。
最终的项目库包括 28 个根据 IRT 校准的项目，T 度量的分数为 50 表示一般人群样本的平均韧性。有 4 项和 8 项简短形式可用，它们的分数与项目库的分数高度相关（r≥.94）。在韧性的大部分连续体中，可靠性都非常好。初步分析为分数的有效性提供了强有力的支持。
研究结果支持了华盛顿大学韧性量表（UWRS）在评估任何人群的韧性方面的可靠性和有效性，包括患有慢性健康状况或残疾的个体。它可以通过计算机化自适应测试或简短形式进行管理。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
