“…Unique aspects of the virtue construct are also reflected in the correlations between AIVS and measures of resilience and self-efficacy. Resilience is often reported in posttraumatic stress literature, and, in rehabilitation, it refers to one’s ability to adapt and navigate through challenges in the face of a chronic illness and disability (Kim, Hawley, et al, 2018). Resilience construct is often examined in rehabilitation counseling context to explain why some people do not succumb even in an overwhelming situation but rather more forward with greater success.…”

“…V-PAM explicates one’s psychosocial adaptation process in terms of five virtue constructs: Courage (i.e., ability to execute one’s will to initiate an action), Integrity (i.e., ability to act in a genuine and sincere way consistent with one’s moral and ethical standards, thus promotes health intra- and interpersonal relationship), Practical Wisdom (i.e., ability to use knowledge and experience to make an informed decision relevant to one’s situation), Committed Action (i.e., ability to generate one’s dedication to delivering a constant effort to accomplish a goal despite obstacles), and Emotional Transcendence (i.e., ability to infuse new hope into life and transform experiences into insights and renewal, even in the face of adversities). Virtue is a universal construct that describes the constant pursuit of excellence (Adams, 2006; Fowers, 2005), and these virtues can be developed via collaborative rehabilitation counseling (Kim, Hawley, et al, 2018).…”

The purpose of this study was to validate the Adapted Inventory of Virtues and Strengths (AIVS). AIVS is a unique instrument that operationalizes virtues in terms of character traits that are specially designed for psychosocial adaptation and rehabilitation. Data were collected from 464 individuals with disabilities and analyzed via the combination of exploratory ( n = 256) and confirmatory analyses ( n = 208). Although the results suggest dropping some items, the original five-virtue structure was supported and confirmed via both analyses. The construct validity of AIVS was further analyzed via correlation analyses between AIVS and other measures including Values in Action Inventory of Strengths 72-Item, Satisfaction with Life Scale, Connor-Davison Resilience Scale, and General Self-Efficacy Scale. The results suggest that with continuing research to document reliability and validity, AIVS has potential in the context of rehabilitation research. Further discussion on psychometric information of AIVS and future implications were presented.

Background The ability to regulate one’s emotional state is an important predictor of several behaviors such as reframing a challenging situation to reduce anger or anxiety, concealing visible signs of sadness or fear, or focusing on reasons to feel happy or calm. This capacity is referred to as emotion regulation. Deficits in this ability can adversely affect one’s adaptive coping, thus are associated with a variety of other psychopathological symptoms, including but not limited to depression, borderline personality disorder, substance use disorders, eating disorders, and somatoform disorders. Methods The present study examined emotion regulation in relation to the virtue-based psychosocial adaptation model (V-PAM). 595 participants were clustered based on their Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) score, producing two clusters (i.e., high functioning vs. low functioning). Then, emotion regulation group membership was discriminated by using five V-PAM virtue constructs, including courage, integrity, practical wisdom, committed action, and emotional transcendence. Results Results show that five virtues contribute to differentiating group membership. Practical wisdom was the strongest contributor, followed by integrity, emotional transcendence, committed action, and courage. Predictive discriminant analysis was conducted and 71% of cases were correctly classified. A discussion of the relationship between emotion regulation and virtues was elaborated. Conclusion The concept of virtue holds significant importance in the comprehension of an individual’s capacity to regulate their emotions, meriting future study.

“…In such adverse situations, it is important to keep in mind the concept of adaptation with regard to functional change in response to environmental stimuli, where positive adaptation to adversity is not a completely innate trait, and therefore, can be learned and developed with active reformulation of life’s challenges [ 21 ]. Thus, adversity can be transformed into opportunity from a perspective of committed action, practical wisdom, individual courage, resilience, and capacity for adaptation [ 22 ]. Therefore, individual reaction patterns must be known to learn the most effective coping mechanisms and protect the subject from psychological alteration [ 23 ].…”

Adaptation to Change Questionnaire for Nurses: Validation and New Needs in the Context of COVID-19

et al. 2021

Background: The worldwide pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus has challenged healthcare systems and the professionals who work in them. This challenge involves strong changes to which nurses have had to quickly adapt. Emotional and cognitive–behavioral factors influence the capacity for adaptation to change. Based on this model, the objective of this study was to validate the Adaptation to Change Questionnaire (ADAPTA-10) for identifying professionals in a population of nurses who have problems adapting to adverse situations such as those caused by COVID-19. Methods: This study was performed with a sample of 351 nurses. (3) Results: The ADAPTA-10 questionnaire was found to have good psychometric properties, and to be an effective, useful tool for nurses in research and clinical practice. The two-dimensional structure proposed in the original model was confirmed. Scales are also provided by sex for evaluation of adaptation to change; the highest scores on the emotional component were among nurses who had not personally encountered the virus. Conclusions: This instrument will be able to detect of the needs for adaptation to the new reality associated with COVID-19, as well as other situations in which nurses are immersed that demand adaptation strategies.
