Caring for older adults is a demanding task. Some professionals may find themselves in complex situations for which they may not be prepared. However, the repercussions of these difficult experiences will depend on personal factors. Resilience acts as a buffer against difficulties and experiences. However, its study with first-line caregivers in nursing homes is limited. This study aimed to validate the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale-2 (CD-RISC2), examine its psychometric properties, and analyze the variables associated with resilience (sociodemographic and professionals´ variables).
312 nursing home professionals participated in the study. Besides the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale-2, they answered questionnaires about good care, burnout, quality of life, person-centered care, and well-being.
The CD-RISC2 showed adequate reliability and test-retest reliability. Good support was found for convergent validity with perceived health, person-directed care, personal growth, life purpose, quality of life and good care, and for discriminant validity with burnout.
To our knowledge, this is the first study that validates the CD-RISC2 Spanish version with front-line workers in nursing homes showing adequate psychometric properties.
An abbreviated, simpler, self-assessed version may be more useful than longer versions, especially with professionals with a heavy workload, such as direct care staff in nursing homes.
照顾老年人是一项艰巨的任务。有些专业人员可能会发现自己处于他们可能没有准备好的复杂情况中。然而，这些困难经历的后果将取决于个人因素。韧性是应对困难和经历的缓冲。然而，它在养老院一线护理人员中的研究是有限的。本研究旨在验证 Connor-Davidson 韧性量表-2（CD-RISC2），检验其心理测量特性，并分析与韧性相关的变量（人口统计学和专业人员变量）。
312 名养老院专业人员参与了这项研究。除了 Connor-Davidson 韧性量表-2 外，他们还回答了关于良好护理、倦怠、生活质量、以患者为中心的护理和幸福感的问卷。
CD-RISC2 显示出足够的信度和重测信度。与感知健康、以患者为导向的护理、个人成长、生活目标、生活质量和良好护理具有良好的收敛效度，与倦怠具有良好的区分效度。
据我们所知，这是第一项使用养老院一线工作人员验证 CD-RISC2 西班牙语版本的研究，具有足够的心理测量特性。
一个简短、简单、自我评估的版本可能比更长的版本更有用，尤其是对于那些工作量大的专业人员，如养老院的直接护理人员。
