“…However, few psychometric analyses have been performed across cultures. Yet, as concluded by Kreuze and Lamis (2018), devising non-English versions of instruments—along with their administration to more diverse and underrepresented populations—is crucial for improving the generalizability and sensitivity of measures for assessing suicide risk.…”

“…Linehan et al. (1983)pioneered the development of the first inventory to assess reasons for living in adults—the Reasons for Living Inventory (RFL) (Linehan et al., 1983), which is currently one of the most used instruments and one with the strongest psychometric properties (Kreuze & Lamis, 2018). Although this measure was originally developed for adults, some authors have nevertheless used it in the adolescent population (Cole, 1989; Range, Hall, & Meyers, 1993), which entailed several limitations (Gutierrez, 2006; Osman et al., 1998; Pinto, Whisman, & Conwell, 1998; Range et al., 1993).…”

Reasons for living are protective factors against suicidal behavior in adolescents. One of the most useful measures to assess them is the Reasons for Living Inventory for Adolescents (RFL-A) developed by Osman et al. The goal of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of its Portuguese version of the RFL-A. To this end, we recruited 512 high school adolescents (mean age = 16.7 years), who completed the RFL-A, a Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire, and a hopelessness scale. Exploratory factor analysis replicated the original five-factor model and confirmatory factor analysis obtained satisfactory adjustment values. The RFL-A shows good reliability (internal consistency and temporal stability) as well as good convergent, discriminant, and concurrent validities. These results indicate that the RFL-A is a valid and reliable measure to study protective factors against suicidal behaviors in Portuguese adolescents.

Objective: to perform the content validation of the Nurses Global Assessment of Suicide Risk index for the Brazilian population served in primary care. Method: a methodological study of cultural adaptation and content evaluation of the NGASR index, original scale from the United Kingdom, carried out through the stages: evaluation of verbal comprehension by an experts committee (semantic, idiomatic, conceptual and cultural equivalence and content validity), back-translation and verification of clarity by means of a pre-test. The experts committee was composed of nine judges and the pre-test with 30 users of primary care services and 19 nurses. The Content Validation Index was calculated. Results: the final validated version is composed of 15 items that obtained a Content Validation Index greater than 0.78 by the experts committee and in the application of the pre-test with users and nurses. Conclusion: the instrument favors the performance of professional nurses in primary health care in the prevention of suicidal behavior by facilitating risk assessment and the adoption of relevant actions.

“…This study is the first to assess the psychometric properties of the shortened P-RFL-OA administered across different cultures. Kreuze and Lamis (2018) suggested that developing non-English versions of suicide risk assessment tools is very important to improving their generalizability and specificity. Following the original study (Lutz et al, 2019), the data in the present study indicated the acceptable psychometric properties of the shortened P-RFL-OA in terms of internal consistency, test-retest reliability, face and content validity, convergent and divergent validity, and the known-group validity for Iranian clinical and nonclinical older adults.…”

This psychometric study examined the psychometric characteristics of the shortened version of the Persian-Reasons for Living Inventory for Older Adults (the shortened P-RFL-OA) in a sample of 293 clinical and nonclinical community-dwelling older adults living in Sanandaj, Iran in 2023. We collected the data using the shortened P-RFL-OA Scale, the Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation (BSSI), the Life Satisfaction Index (LSI-Z), the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), and the Short Form Health Survey (SF-12). Overall, the shortened P-RFL-OA has acceptable psychometric properties in terms of test-retest reliability, convergent validity with depression and suicidal ideation, and divergent validity with life satisfaction and quality of life. The findings of the present study confirmed that the shortened P-RFL-OA has acceptable psychometric properties for older adults.
