“…The results of the teacher resilience results are in line with the data of Juškevičienė (2021) that the psychological resilience of early childhood education teachers is of average level and that the resilience of teachers does not differ according to the working experience; that teacher resilience significantly positively correlates with the stress coping strategy of problem solving. Regarding the association with gender, the results of our study supported the findings of previous studies, which did not find such an association (Damásio et al, 2011;Losoi et al, 2013;Ruiz -Párraga et al, 2012;Mazulyte, 2016). Regarding the teaching experience, our results partially align with the study by Mazulyte (2016) -there is a significant association between resilience and education, with more educated people scoring higher on resilience than those with a lower education level.…”

“…The mean score of RS-14 in Lithuanian population fell in the category of moderate resilience, similarly to other studies (Abiola & Udofia, 2011;Losoi et al, 2013;Wagnild, 2011, Mazulyte, 2016. Most of the resilience levels of the current sample ranged from low end to moderately high resilience, similar to the original RS-14 study (Wagnild, 2011).…”

“…Svence et al, 2021). It can be argued that the short-version RS14 is a measure aimed at ensuring the resilience of traits, which is supposed to be a characteristic of a stable person characteristic; therefore, no effect of age is understandable (Mazulyte, 2016). However, as other studies observed, the relationship between RS-14 and age, as well as cultural differences, cannot be excluded.…”

Introduction. Teacher’s job is considered to be not attractive as it contains emotional strain and stress and schools in Lithuania face a shortage of teachers (TALIS, 2018; Merkys & Balčiūnas, 2019). Research on the social emotional health and resilience of teachers is important, especially in the face of the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic. Research on social emotional health and resilience of Lithuanian teachers was conducted as part of the ERASMUS+ project ‘Supporting teachers to face the challenge of distance teaching’ (2020-1-LV01-KA226-SCH-094599). Methodology. The aim of this research was to assess the social emotional health and resilience of secondary school teachers in post-pandemic times. 400 respondents from Lithuania participated in the research. The results are based on data from the ‘Social and emotional health survey for teachers’ (SEHS-T) (Furlong.& Gajdasova, 2019) and the ‘Resilience scale’ (RS14) (Wagnild & Young, 1993; Wagnild, 2016). Results. Teachers reported a sufficiently high level of overall indicator of Social and Emotional Health (SEHS-T) as well as its domains: Belief-in-Self, Emotional Competence, Engaged Living. The level of teacher Resilience reached a moderate level. Significantly high positive correlations were established between teacher resilience and the overall social emotional index (rs = .585, p = .000), as well as between the resilience and social emotional domains: Engaged Living (rs = .560*, p = .000), Emotional Competence (rs = .448*, p = .000) and Belief-in-Self (rs = .515**, p = .000). The research did not find statistically significant differences by age, sex, or work experience. Conclusions. The teachers demonstrated a rather high level of social emotional health, a moderate level of resilience, and weak Belief-in-Others. It is recommended that teachers’ resilience is strengthened through interventional activities such as stress coping strategies, emotional awareness, and peer support skills training during the Covid-19 pandemic times.

“…Consistent with previous studies on the RS14, resilience did not vary by sex [ 11 , 14 – 16 ]. While other studies have found associations between resilience and sex, alternate definitions, such as in Bonanno et al which defined resilience as having 1 or 0 posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms, or tools, such as the 25-item Resilience Scale, were used [ 6 , 12 , 13 , 42 – 44 ].…”

“…In contrast, the RS and RS14 demonstrated good psychometric properties, ease of use, and an extensive history of validation and use in diverse, international populations including with adolescents and in several languages [1,10]. The RS14 has undergone successful validation studies including young adults in Japan, Finland, and Lithuania, and specifically in youth and young adult populations or subgroups in Nigeria, Italy, Brazil, Poland, and Portugal, among others [2,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. An additional benefit of the RS14 is brevity, reducing participant burden by requiring only 3-4 versus 5-7 minutes to complete while still…”

Reliability and validity of the RS14 in orphaned and separated adolescents and youths in western Kenya

Purpose The 14-item Resilience Scale (RS14) is a tool designed to measure psychological resilience. It has been used effectively in diverse populations. However, its applicability is largely unknown for Sub-Saharan adolescent populations and completely unknown for orphaned and separated adolescents and youths (OSAY), a highly vulnerable population for whom resilience may be critical. This study assesses the RS14’s psychometric properties for OSAY in Uasin Gishu County, Kenya. Methods Survey responses from a representative sample of 1016 OSAY (51.3% female) aged 10–25 (mean = 16; SD = 3.5) living in institutional and home-based environments in Uasin Gishu County were analyzed. The RS14’s psychometric properties were assessed by examining internal consistency reliability, confirmatory factor analyses, and convergent validity using correlations between resilience and each of social support and depression. Sub-analyses were conducted by age and sex. Results Resilience scores ranged from 14–98 (mean = 66; SD = 19) with no sex-based significant difference. Resilience was higher for those aged ≥18 (mean = 69; range = 14–98) versus age <18 (mean = 65; range = 14–98). Internal consistency was good (Cronbach’s α = .90). Confirmatory factor analysis indicated a 1-factor solution, though the model fit was only moderate. Resilience was positively correlated with social support in all ages (.22; p < .001) and negatively correlated with depression in individuals age <18 (-.22; p < .001). The relationship between resilience and depression in individuals age ≥18 was statistically significant only in females (-.17; p = .026). Conclusion This study demonstrates reasonable evidence that the RS14 is both valid and reliable for measuring psychological resilience in the population of OSAY in western Kenya.

Background/Objectives Nurses in Lebanon are facing multiple crises and the severity of the situation calls for an empirical examination of their resilience status. Evidence indicates that resilience can buffer the negative effect of workplace stressors on nurses and is associated with favorable patient outcomes. The objective of this study was to test the psychometric properties of the Arabic Resilience Scale-14 that was utilized to measure resilience among Lebanese nurses, Methods Data was collected from nurses working in health care centers using a cross-sectional survey design. We estimated the confirmatory factor analysis using the Diagonally Weighted least Squares. Fit indices for the confirmatory factor analysis model included Model chi-square, root-mean squared error of approximation and Standardized Root Mean Square Residual. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Results 1,488 nurses were included in the analysis. The squared multiple correlations values ranged from 0.60 to 0.97 thus supporting the construct validity of the originally hypothesized five factor model (self-reliance, purpose, equanimity, perseverance, and authenticity). Conclusions The Arabic version of the Resilience Scale 14 tool is considered a valid tool for measuring resilience in any situation involving Arabic speaking nurses.
