Abstract

Introduction: Resilience is the ability to adapt or recover after adverse situations.This study aimed to adapt and investigate evidence of the validity of the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) for the Brazilian context. Method: The total sample comprised 1,937 people who participated in the study and the validity analysis was carried out with 1,480 people between 18 and 78 years of age. It was carried out using translation, back-translation, descriptive analysis, reliability analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, Item Response Theory, the ROC curve and BRS correlation with the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale - 10-item version (CD-RISC-10), the Social Support Perception Scale, the Patient Health Questionnaire - 2-item version (PHQ-2), and sociodemographic data. Results: The results showed the adequacy of the Brazilian version of the BRS (BRS-BR), alpha of 0.80, omega = 0.81, one factor, good information capacity of the items (except for item 5) and correlation with the CD-RISC-10 (rho = 0.64), PHQ-2 (rho = - 0.38)and Social Support (rho = 0.14). There was also a correlation with sex (rho = 0.11), age (rho = 0.13), marital status (rho = 0.15) and schooling (rho = 0.15). The ROC curve shows a cutoff point at 10 points for low resilience and 21 points for high resilience. Conclusions: The investigation of the psychometric characteristics of the BRS-BR showed that the instrument can be useful for the evaluation of resilience in the Brazilian context.

巴西简易弹性量表的效度证据

引言：韧性是指在不利情况下适应或恢复的能力。本研究旨在调整和调查简要弹性量表（BRS）在巴西背景下的有效性证据。方法：总样本包括1937名参与研究的人，对1480名年龄在18至78岁之间的人进行了有效性分析。采用翻译、反译、描述性分析、可靠性分析、验证性因素分析、项目反应理论、ROC曲线和BRS相关性与Connor Davidson弹性量表-10项版本（CD-RISC-10）、社会支持感知量表、患者健康问卷-2项版本（PHQ-2）和社会人口统计数据进行。结果：结果显示巴西版BRS（BRS-BR）的充分性，α=0.80，ω=0.81，一个因素，项目的信息能力良好（项目5除外），与CD-RISC-10（rho=0.64）、PHQ-2（rho=-0.38）和社会支持（rho=0.014）相关，婚姻状况（rho=0.15）和学校教育（rho=0.015）。ROC曲线显示，低弹性的临界点为10点，高弹性的临界值为21点。结论：对BRS-BR的心理测量特征的调查表明，该工具可用于评估巴西背景下的复原力。

期刊介绍： Revista latinoamericana de Psicología (RLP) is a four month publication from Konrad Lorenz Fundación Universitaria. The RLP evaluates works that belong to one of the following categories: original papers (with empiric and new information) of many psychology fields (regardless of the methodology used) or qualitative/quantitative systematic reviews. Eventually it will be interested on works’ revision related to the development psychology tools or softwares, original methodology papers and researches which evaluate psychology from scientometry. The RLP is not interested in publishing non-systematic reviews or states of the art, case studies, protocols studies, hypothesis or papers proposals, letters, commentaries or essays, opinions articles, politics documents nor other sort of secondary literature. Traditionally, there have been monographics, books’ reviews and “others” published in “Mundo de la Psicología”, nevertheless these modalities will not be considered.
