ABSTRACT

Objective Verifying the psychometrics of a Brazilian version of the Dispositional Resilience Scale (DRS-15).

Methods Cross-cultural adaptation was done interviewing 65 adult patients. Validation was evaluated by application of the Lipp Brazilian Stress Symptoms Inventory (ISSL), Self-Report Questionnaire (SRQ), and other measures to 575 participants from the psychiatric ambulatories (for borderline personality, anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorders) and non-psychiatric ambulatories (chronic pain, pre-anesthetic consultation and companions for the latter). Temporal stability was verified with 123 participants.

Results Exploratory factor analysis yielded a three-factor solution. Psychometrics were acceptable (alpha coefficient, 0.71; intraclass correlation coefficient, 0.81). Correlations with the ISSL, SRQ and other measures were noted except for factor 3. In the psychiatric sample, hardiness scores of borderline patients were lower than those of patients with anxiety disorders.

Conclusion This version of the DRS-15 exhibited good reliability in a sample of Brazilian patients; validity was confirmed in two of the scale factors.

RESUMO

Objetivo

Verificar as propriedades psicométricas da versão brasileira da Escala de Resiliência Disposicional (DRS-15).

Métodos A adaptação transcultural foi feita com 65 pacientes. A validação foi estudada pela aplicação do Inventário de Sintomas de Stress para Adultos de Lipp (ISSL), Self-Report Questionnaire (SRQ) e outros instrumentos a 575 participantes de ambulatórios psiquiátricos (transtorno borderline de personalidade, ansiedade ou transtorno de estresse pós-traumático) e não-psiquiátricos (dor crçnica, avaliação pré-anestésica ou acompanhantes). A estabilidade foi verificada com 123 participantes.

Resultados A análise exploratória revelou três fatores, com propriedades aceitáveis (alfa de 0,71; coeficiente de correlação intraclasse de 0,81). Notaram-se correlações com o ISSL, SRQ e demais instrumentos, exceto para o fator 3. Na amostra psiquiátrica, a resiliência disposicional dos pacientes borderlines foi menor que a dos pacientes com transtornos de ansiedade.

Conclusão Esta versão da DRS-15 apresentou boa confiabilidade numa amostra de adultos; a validade foi confirmada para dois fatores da escala.

resilience, psychological - scales - cross-cultural comparisons - validation studies - borderline personality
resiliência psicológica - escalas - comparação transcultural - validação - transtorno da borderline personalidade
