Abstract
Antecedentes: La resiliencia es la capacidad que tienen un individuo de recuperarse de las dificultades; la mayoría de las personas pueden recuperarse de forma óptima y adaptarse a eventos estresante a través de factores protectores. No existe, en español una medida válida y fiable de resiliencia que incluya tanto factores protectores interno como externos. El objetivo del estudio fue adaptar la escala Protective Factors of Resilience Scale al español y analizar sus propiedades psicométricas. Método: La esca la fue traducida y adaptada al español y posteriormente se realizaron dos estudios para analizar sus propiedades psicométricas en dos muestras (personas sanas y con enfermedades crónicas). Los cuestionarios se enviaron por diferentes vías: email, Facebook y Whatsapp, 442 adultos completaron to dos los cuestionarios. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 352 personas sanas y 90 con enfermedades crónicas. Resultados: En ambas muestras, los análisis de factores confirmatorios confirmaron la estructura de la escala, mostrando que la versión española estaba compuesta de tres factores. Las puntuaciones totales de la escala y de las subescalas mostraron una fiabilidad adecuada. La validez concurrente también se confirmó; la escala estuvo relacionada positivamente con diferentes medidas. Conclusión: Por tanto, la versión española de la escala es un instrumento fiable y válido para evaluar factores protectores (internos y externos) de la resiliencia tanto para población general como para personas con enfermedades crónicas.
Background: Resilience is de capacity to recover from difficulties; most people can recover optimally from and adapt to stressful life events through the effect of protective factors. There is no valid and relia ble measure of resilience in Spanish which includes both internal protective and external factors. Objective: The purpose of the present study was to adapt the Protective Factors of Resilience Scale (PFRS) to Spanish and to analyze its psychometric properties. Method: The scale was translated and adapted into Spanish, then, two studies were carried out to examine its psychometric properties in two samples (healthy and chronic illness). Questionnaires were sent by email, Facebook, and Whatsapp, and 442 adults completed all the questionnaires. The entire sample included 352 healthy people and 90 with a chronic illness. Results: In both samples, a second-order 3-factor model was the result of the exploratory factor analy sis; the PFRS total and subscales scores showed adequate reliability. Con current validity was also studied; the PFRS was positively correlated with different measures. Conclusions: Therefore, the Spanish version of this scale is a reliable and valid instrument to assess protective factors (internal and external resources) of resilience both in Spanish general and chronically ill populations.
