“…Pearson correlation coefficients for continuous data or independent t‐tests with dichotomous variables were calculated with related constructs. For hypothesis testing, studies were identified with significant correlations between resilience and psychological complaints, smoking, engagement, recreation and diet . Therefore hypothesis testing was performed with five related constructs: Workers have significant higher scores on the BRS when they: (a) Do not smoke, (b).…”

Objectives The aim of this study was to study measurement properties of the Dutch Language Version of the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS‐DLV) in blue and white collar workers employed at multiple companies and to compare the validity and factor structure to other language versions. Methods Workers (n = 1023) were assessed during a cross‐sectional health surveillance. Construct validity was tested with exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses (EFA and CFA) and hypothesis testing. Reliability was tested with Cronbach's alpha. Results A two‐factor structure of the BRS‐DLV had good model fit in both EFA and CFA, which could be explained by difficulties of workers with reversed order items. After excluding these inconsistent answering patterns, a one‐factor structure showed good model fit resembling the original BRS (χ 2 = 16.5; CFI & TLI = 0.99; SRMR = 0.02;RMSEA = 0.04). Internal consistency is sufficient (Cronbach's α = 0.78). All five hypotheses were confirmed, suggesting construct validity. Conclusions Reliability of the BRS‐DLV is sufficient and there is evidence of construct validity. Inconsistent answering, however, caused problems in interpretation and factor structure of the BRS‐DLV. This can be easily detected and handled because item 2, 4 and 6 are in reversed order. Other language versions differ in factor structure, most likely because systematic errors are not corrected for. To collect valid data, it is advised to be aware of inconsistent answering of respondents.

“…Particularly, increased free time thanks to -particularlytechnological advancements of the 21st century has resulted in serious demand for recreational activities (Kozak, Aydin C & Aydin Ç, 2017). Recreational activities, in which individuals participate so that they can get rid of stress, regain psychological and physical health and have fun (Kocyigit & Yildiz, 2014) play a crucial role in developing social relations, too (Broadhurst, 2001;Buchecker & Degenhardt, 2015). However, the studies done indicate that "Family" and "Peer" subdimensions are significant barriers to recreational activity participation Sarol, 2017;Gurbuz & Henderson, 2014;Gumus, Ozgul & Karakilic, 2017;Aydin, Kahraman & Hiç durmaz, 2017;Mumcu & Ozgul, 2018).…”

The purpose of this study is to examine university students’ perceived social support level in recreational activity participation. 536 students who were selected from 3 different universities using convenience sampling participated in the study voluntarily. As data collection form; Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS-R) and Preference Factors of Recreation Areas (PFRA) scale were used. For the analyses of the data; descriptive statistics, Independent Samples T Test used for two groups depending on the number of the variables and One Way ANOVA used for groups more than two were used. In order to find out which group demonstrated the difference found as a result of variance analyses, Tukey test -one of the multiple comparison tests- was used. In terms of recreational activity participation, the most effective factor in students’ average scores of perceived social support scale was peer support (2.690±0.372) while the least effective factor was teacher support (2.033±0.535). Total average score was found to be 2.441±0.274. The most effective factor in students’ average scores of Recreation Area Preference Agents Scale was sporting diversity (4.448±0.776) and staff (4.128±0.681) and these factors were followed by physical facilities (3.736±0.562), location (3.185±0.647) and activity diversity (3.074±0.586); respectively. Besides, there were significant differences in perceived social support levels of the study group in terms of gender and accommodation variables. It was concluded that the highest support for students’ recreational activity participation came from their peers while the lowest support was obtained from teachers. It may be argued that students staying at public dormitories used recreational areas built by municipalities more than other students. It was identified that criterion that all the student groups put the biggest emphasis on while preferring recreation areas was sporting diversity offered by the recreation areas.

This community‐based study explored resilience practices among people living with physical disabilities (i.e., stroke, spinal cord injury, and other physical disabilities) during the COVID‐19 pandemic. In this photo elicitation study, during 1:1 interviews, participants shared and described photos that reflected their pandemic‐related experiences. Data were analyzed thematically to identify resilience‐related practices. Our analysis revealed three themes: (1) reflecting on the importance of family, friends, and community (e.g., recalling past memories and strengthening existing connections); (2) engaging in social and recreational activities (e.g., experiencing the outdoors and gardening); and (3) reframing personal contexts and social environment (e.g., adjusting to new social norms and overcoming physical barriers to navigating safely during the pandemic). The resilience that participants identified encompassed not only individual strategies but also family and community supports. Resilience can be fostered through community initiatives that support more equitable responses to health emergencies for people with disabilities.
