Among the measures that we felt needed a stronger presence in the field of PTSD assessment was that of resilience. Although several scales addressing aspects of resilience have existed for some time, they had largely failed to penetrate into the world of clinical practice, treatment-outcome and biological research. We were further stimulated after including a brief single-item measure of stress vulnerability into one of our treatment outcome studies in PTSD. The results showed that an active medication allowed patients to deal better with stress than did a placebo. To the best of our knowledge, this was the first demonstration of such an effect, i.e., that a treatment for anxiety could boost stress coping/resilience more than a placebo control. Authorized Versions of the CD-RISC After a search of the resilience literature, which at that time was heavily influenced by contributions from the developmental psychology and child psychiatry fields, but with some important work in adults as well, we selected 17 domains, as outlined in Table 1 of our publication in 2003, and developed a 25-item scale (Connor KM, Davidson JRT. Depression and Anxiety 2003; 18: 71-82). This report presented psychometric data establishing validity and reliability of the scale (known as the Connor- Davidson Resilience Scale or CD-RISC), as well as briefly describing each of the 25 items (see Table 2 of that citation), and giving general scoring directions. However, the complete wording for each item and full directions did not appear in the report and the scale cannot be adequately reconstructed from the information given in this publication. 3 4 In the original validation study, mean scores in specific populations were reported as follows: US general population 80.7 Primary care patients 71.8 Psychiatric outpatients 68.0 Generalized anxiety 62.4 PTSD samples 47.8/52.8 Many other studies have reported normative scores on the CD-RISC, the results of which are given below and summarized in Tables 1a-c for the 25-, 10-, and 2-item scales respectively. The mean and median scores as given for the US general population in Connor and Davidson (2003) are based on a sample of those who furnished complete responses to all items of the CD- RISC. In the entire sample (i.e., complete responses and those with missing items), the mean score was 79.0 (12.9) and median (1,3 Q) was 81 (71, 89) (Davidson and Lee, unpublished data 2011). Besides the full 25-item CD-RISC (or CD-RISC 25), there are two briefer versions, the 10-item (CD-RISC 10) and 2-item (CD-RISC 2) scales. The 10-item version (score range 0-40) comprises items 1, 4, 6, 7, 8, 11, 14, 16, 17, and 19 from the original scale, and was developed by Drs. Campbell- Sills and Stein, at the University of California, San Diego, on the basis of factor analysis. In a community survey of 764 US adults, a mean score of 31.8 (SD = 5.4) was obtained for the CD-RISC 10 [Campbell-Sills L, Forde DR, Stein MB. J Psychiatric Research (2009), doi:10.1016/j.jpsychires.2009.01.013]. An almost identical mean score was obtained by Davidson (unpublished) in the US general population

It involves developing vitality and skills to overcome the negative effects of adversity, risks, and vulnerability caused by disease. In Mexico, the Mexican Resilience Measurement Scale (RESI-M) has been validated with a general population and has a five-factor structure. However, this scale does not allow evaluation of resilience in specific subpopulations, such as caregivers. Method: This study investigated the psychometric properties of RESI-M in 446 family caregivers of children with chronic diseases. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed, internal consistency values were calculated using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, and mean comparisons were determined using t-tests. Results: The expected five-factor model showed an adequate fit with the data based on a maximum likelihood test. The internal consistency for each factor ranged from .76 to .93, and the global internal consistency was .95.

  • The Development of Family Resilience: Exploratory Investigation of a Resilience
    The Development of Family Resilience: Exploratory Investigation of a Resilience Program for Families Impacted by Chemical Dependency by Chris Lum A Social Work 298 Special Project Presented to the Faculty of the School of Social Work San José State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Masters of Social Work Dr. Peter Allen Lee May 2008 PREPUBLICATION COPY DO NOT REPRODUCE WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM AUTHOR QUESTIONS: [email protected] Family Resilience, 1 Abstract The purpose of this mixed methods study was to explore the development of family resilience among those who have completed Celebrating Families! ( CF! ). Families with one or both parents with a chemical dependency problem are often referred to attend CF! . CF! , hosted by Santa Clara County social service agencies, is a program consisting of sixteen two-hour sessions that uses cognitive behavioral techniques to increase family resilience processes. While there is extensive research on successful outcomes of resilience-focused programs, limited empirical evidence exploring the developmental process of family resilience exists and how such programs can extend their success to help overcome future adversity. For the quantitative component, perceived levels of family resilience were measured. The qualitative, phenomenological component investigated how this family-based program contributes to the development of family resilience. A total of 9 participants were recruited by convenience via two agencies that conducted the CF! program: 6 parent participants and 3 key informants. Analysis included descriptive analysis for the survey data and content analysis for the qualitative data. Quantitative results found positive perceptions of family resilience across 5 domains: making meaning of adversity, positive outlook, connectedness, social and economic resources, and collaborative problem solving.

THE IMPACT OF SOCIAL SUPPORT AND FAMILY RESILIENCE ON PARENTAL STRESS IN FAMILIES WITH A CHILD DIAGNOSED WITH AN AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER Abstract Families of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) experience significant stress relative to other families. To date, little research has examined the relationship between social support, family resilience and parental stress in families with a child diagnosed with ASD. This study explored the links between perceived social support, family resilience and parental stress in a sample of 50 primary caregivers of children between the ages of 6 and 12 diagnosed with ASD. The Social Support Index (SSI), Family Resilience Assessment Scale (FRAS), and the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form (PSI-SF) were used in this cross-sectional study. Results indicate that most families experienced clinically high levels of stress.

  • The Development and Assessment of a Family Resilience
    THE DEVELOPMENT AND ASSESSMENT OF A FAMILY RESILIENCE- ENHANCEMENT PROGRAMME JOANITA HOLTZKAMP Dissertation presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Psychology, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Stellenbosch University Promoter: Prof A P Greeff December 2010 DECLARATION By submitting this dissertation electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the authorship owner thereof (unless to the extent explicitly otherwise stated) and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. December 2010 Copyright © 2010 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved ii SUMMARY A probe into resilience research has revealed that psychologists have taken on the role of “keepers of the crypt”, where our attained knowledge has been “entombed” by virtue of our reluctance to allow it to bear practical fruition. Consequently, the impetus of the research is a response to the aforementioned gap and is explicated in four phases: Phase 1: A detailed literature review consisting of the review and integration of appropriate preceding resilience research, thereby serving as a possible reference guide for future studies; Phase 2: Provision of a succinct, comprehensive framework for programme development within the field of psychology; Phase 3: Family hardiness was selected as the resilience quality to be attended to via the development of a universal, multidimensional resilience-enhancement programme; Phase 4: An assessment of whether the resilience-enhancement programme is successful in developing the selected resilience quality in families. Following the salutogenic approach, the main theoretical foundation of the investigation resides in the Resiliency Model of Stress, Adjustment and Adaptation (McCubbin & Thompson, 1991).

  • Read the Reality of Family Resilience in Facing Pandemics Covid-19 in Indonesia
    International Journal of Psychosocial Rehabilitation, Vol. 24, Issue 10, 2020 ISSN: 1475-7192 READ THE REALITY OF FAMILY RESILIENCE IN FACING PANDEMICS COVID-19 IN INDONESIA 1Casmini Abstract: Two months of co-epidemic 19 hit Indonesia, triggering the occurrence of individual and family psychological vulnerabilities. This study aims to describe the picture of family resilience including socio- psychological resilience, economic resilience, and health resilience that occurs in the course of a 2-month outbreak and coping efforts undertaken. Data was dug out to non-positive provides 19 positive families through direct but limited interviews, observations, and more on analysis of discussions, complaints from several families in social media formed long before covidation19. Data analysis follows the framework of Miles & Huberman (1992), from data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study illustrate that socio- psychological resilience experiences a struggle for self-conflict because it conflicts with the idea of being able to maintain economic and health. Keywords: COVID-19, socio-psychological I. Introduction Stress becomes a real reality felt by the people of Indonesia when facing the co-19 epidemic (Prabha, 2020). The aspects of social life, economy, and health that have changed sporadically have triggered the vulnerability of the psychological atmosphere of individuals (Van Bavel et al., 2020). Anxiety, stress, and even psychosomatic epidemic occurring in tandem with the conditions (Taylor, 2019). Physical health and mental problems become part of the impact experienced by the Indonesian community at large. Social vulnerability which is characterized by declining productivity and livelihoods is a new phenomenon that is experienced personally and socially in society today (Hilmatussa'diah, 2020).

Conceptual models of familial resilience provide a guide for understanding the mechanics of how families respond and recover from exposure to extreme events, and underscore the role of specific family processes and interaction patterns in promoting resilient capabilities. Leading family theorists propose that the family's ability to make meaning of stressful and traumatic events and nurture protective beliefs are critical aspects of resilient adaptation. We first review general theoretical and empirical research contributions to understanding family resilience, giving special attention to the circumstances, challenges, needs, and strengths of American military families.
