“…Based on Walsh's family resilience model (Walsh, ), Sixbey () developed the Family Resilience Assessment Scale (FRAS), which has 54 items and six subscales to assess areas of family resilience. In this study, we used the 32‐item FRAS‐C (Li, Zhao, Zhang, Lou, & Cao, ), which consists of three subscales as follows: family communication and problem solving (FCPS), utilising social resources (USR) and maintaining a positive outlook (MPO). Each item was answered on a 4‐point Likert scale from 1 ( strongly disagree ) to 4 ( strongly agree ), with a total possible score ranging from 32 to 128, with higher scores indicating greater family resilience.…”

“…Each item was answered on a 4‐point Likert scale from 1 ( strongly disagree ) to 4 ( strongly agree ), with a total possible score ranging from 32 to 128, with higher scores indicating greater family resilience. The psychometric properties of the FRAS‐C are well documented (Li et al, ). In this study, Cronbach's α for the 32‐item FRAS‐C was 0.96, with subscale reliabilities ranging from 0.69 for USR to 0.94 for FCPS.…”

Walsh's family resilience theory indicated that families could foster resilient outcomes among their members when they are facing changes or crises. However, little is known about family resilience and psychological well‐being among Chinese breast cancer survivors and their caregivers. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the direct and indirect relationships between family resilience, breast cancer survivors' post‐traumatic growth (PTG), quality of life (QOL), and their principal caregivers' caregiver burden. A total of 108 breast cancer survivors/principal caregivers pairs completed a cross‐sectional questionnaire survey in a comprehensive cancer of a public hospital in Shandong Province, China. The structural equation modelling (SEM) results showed that family resilience had direct and indirect effects on QOL and caregiver burden, and it was positively related to the PTG of the survivors. The survivors' PTG was positively related to their QOL, and their QOL was negatively associated with caregiver burden. Therefore, a better understanding of how family resilience contributes to PTG and QOL of the survivors and caregiver burden could help clinicians tailor interventions to enhance interventions aimed at improving both survivors' and caregivers' well‐being.

Background The article describes construct of family resilience with the main focus on the model Walsh. The aim of this article is to present preliminary results: adaptation, reliability, statistical analyses of the Family Resilience Assessment Scale (FRAS) for the Polish population. Participants and procedure Participants (n = 329), aged 18-35, completed experimental Polish version of the FRAS (SPR – Skala Prężności Rodzinnej). In the procedure of adaptation, scale was translated and modified into Polish. Scale consists of the following subscales: Family Communication and Problem Solving, Utilizing Social and Economic Resources, Maintaining a Positive Outlook, Family Connectedness, Family Spirituality and Ability to Make Meaning of Adversity. Results The reliability of the experimental Polish version of the FRAS for the entire scale and five subscales are satisfactory. Only subscale Ability to Make Meaning of Adversity obtained reliability of less than 0.7. Taking into account the diversity of gender and declaring the passage through the difficult events were observed significant differences in the three scales: Family Communication and Problem Solving, Family Connectedness, Ability to Make Meaning of Adversity and total scale of FRAS. Conclusions The work on the questionnaire is still in progress and the results presented here should be considered as preliminary. In the next steps, the number of men should be increased in order to perform confirmatory factor analysis. Future studies should take into account a number of factors and contexts (e.g. family structure, social and cultural context and the type of stressful event).
