Resilience is an ability of an individual to respond positively to environmental challenges. This ability could help elderly people to better cope with their age-related changes and diseases. The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of Persian version of abridged Connor- Davidson scale of resilience among Iranian elderly people with chronic diseases.
Standard translation/back-translation procedure was applied to prepare the Persian version of abridged Connor-Davidson scale of resilience (CD-RISC 10-P) and its face and content validity were examined by an expert panel. The internal consistency and reliability of the drafted CD-RISC 10-P were investigated using the Cronbach's alpha and intra-class correlation coefficients. A sample of 400 Muslim and Zoroastrian Persian older adults residing in the city of Yazd, Iran was recruited to assess factor structure of CD-RISC 10-P using the confirmatory factor analysis.
The calculated values of the Cronbach's alpha (0.89) and ICC (0.90) coefficients were in the within of acceptable range. The confirmatory factor analysis outputs also confirmed the unidimensionality of the CD-RISC 10-P (RMSEA = 0.073, SRMR = 0.030).
The study findings showed that the CD-RISC 10-P is a valid and reliable scale to measure resilience with age-related challenges of chronic diseases among Persian-speaking elderly people. Cross-cultural adaptability of the CD-RISC 10-P is recommended to be assessed in different subgroups of the Iranian elderly people and possibly in other Persian-speaking populations of different countries.
韧性是个体对环境挑战做出积极反应的能力。这种能力可以帮助老年人更好地应对与年龄相关的变化和疾病。本研究旨在检验经过修订的Connor-Davidson 韧性量表（CD-RISC 10-P）在伊朗慢性病老年人群中的心理测量学特性。
采用标准的翻译/回译程序来制备经过修订的 Connor-Davidson 韧性量表（CD-RISC 10-P）的波斯语版本，并由专家小组对其进行了内容和表面效度检验。采用 Cronbach's alpha 和组内相关系数来评估草案 CD-RISC 10-P 的内部一致性和信度。采用验证性因子分析，对居住在伊朗亚兹德市的 400 名穆斯林和琐罗亚斯德教的波斯老年人样本进行了研究，以评估 CD-RISC 10-P 的因子结构。
Cronbach's alpha（0.89）和 ICC（0.90）系数的计算值均处于可接受范围内。验证性因子分析的结果也证实了 CD-RISC 10-P 的单维性（RMSEA=0.073，SRMR=0.030）。
研究结果表明，CD-RISC 10-P 是一种有效且可靠的量表，可以衡量与慢性病相关的年龄挑战对波斯语老年人的韧性。建议在伊朗老年人的不同亚组中评估 CD-RISC 10-P 的跨文化适应性，并且可能在其他不同国家的讲波斯语的人群中进行评估。
