Resilience is defined as an individual's ability to recover from difficulties and overcome challenges and adversity. Recognizing and measuring internal and external protective factors have been identified as important processes for building resilience, yet to date, no valid, and reliable scales of resilience in the Persian language have been developed that recognize both internal and external protective factors.
The present study was to translate the protective factors of resilience scale (PFRS) from English to Persian and analyze its psychometric properties among Iranians. Convenience sampling was used to gather data from January 2021 to February 2021 through digital internet scales, and 6 scales, including PFRS, Ryff's psychological well-being scale, Rosenberg self-esteem scale, life orientation test-revised, positive and negative affect schedule, and short version of resilience scale (RS), were completed by 265 participants aged from 15 to 56. So, the aim of this study is to investigate the psychometric properties of protective factors of resilience scale among Iranians.
The results of the face, content, and construct validity revealed that the Persian version of the PFRS measure had acceptable validity and reliability. The Cronbach alpha for the whole scale was 0.88, and the value of the content validity index was above 0.7. A confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the three-factor structure model of the scale (fit indices: CMIN/df = 2.51, p < .01; comparative fit index = 0.94, goodness of fit index = 0.90, root mean squared error of approximation = 0.07).
In conclusion, the Persian version of the protective factors of resilience is a reliable and valid measurement to assess the protective factors and internal and external protective factors of resilience in Iranians.
韧性被定义为个体从困难中恢复、克服挑战和逆境的能力。识别和衡量内部和外部保护因素已被确定为培养韧性的重要过程，但迄今为止，还没有开发出一种既识别内部保护因素又识别外部保护因素的、有效的、可靠的波斯语韧性量表。
本研究旨在将韧性的保护因素量表（PFRS）从英语翻译为波斯语，并分析其在伊朗人群中的心理测量特性。便利抽样法于 2021 年 1 月至 2 月期间通过数字互联网量表收集数据，共有 265 名年龄在 15 至 56 岁的参与者完成了包括 PFRS、Ryff 的心理幸福感量表、罗森伯格自尊量表、生活取向测验修订版、正性和负性情绪量表以及韧性量表简短版（RS）在内的 6 个量表。本研究旨在调查伊朗人群中 PFRS 的心理测量特性。
表面、内容和结构效度的结果表明，PFRS 的波斯语版本具有可接受的效度和信度。整个量表的 Cronbach α 值为 0.88，内容效度指数的值高于 0.7。验证性因子分析证实了量表的三因素结构模型（拟合指数：CMIN/df=2.51，p<.01；比较拟合指数=0.94，拟合优度指数=0.90，近似均方根误差=0.07）。
总之，PFRS 的波斯语版本是一种可靠和有效的测量工具，可用于评估伊朗人群的保护因素和韧性的内部和外部保护因素。
