Resumo: Background: The assessment of resilience in oncological contexts is essential, yet there is a lack of specific instruments for the Portuguese population. Objective: To translate and validate the shortened version of the Resilience Scale Specific for Cancer (RS-SC-10) for the Portuguese population. Method: The sample consisted of 120 participants, aged between 26 and 84 years, from a hospital in the Autonomous Region of the Azores. The protocol included the RS-SC-10, the shortened version of the Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS-VRP), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and the Subjective Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). Results:  Confirmatory factor analysis showed internal consistency and moderate reliability of the ER-EC-10. After covariance adjustments, the model demonstrated a good fit in both dimensions. Significant positive correlations were observed with the Positive Affect of PANAS-VRP and SWLS, and negative correlations with Negative Affect and HADS. Conclusions: The Portuguese ER-EC-10 proved to be a valid and reliable instrument for assessing resilience in patients in Portugal, offering a sensitive and specific assessment of the challenges individuals face in cancer diagnosis and treatment. This study underscores the importance of culturally adapted tools for psychological assessment in health contexts.

Objetivo: Traduzir e validar a versão reduzida da Escala de Resiliência Específica para o Cancro (ER-EC-10) para a população portuguesa. Métodos: A amostra foi constituída por 120 participantes, com idades compreendidas entre os 26 e 84 anos, de um hospital na Região Autónoma dos Açores. O protocolo incluiu a ER-EC-10, a versão reduzida da Escala de Afetos Positivos e Negativos (PANAS-VRP), a Escala de Ansiedade e Depressão Hospitalar (HADS) e a Escala de Satisfação Subjetiva com a Vida (SWLS). Resultados: A análise fatorial confirmatória mostrou consistência interna e fiabilidade moderada da ER-EC-10. Após ajustes nas covariâncias, o modelo demonstrou bom ajustamento nas duas dimensões. Foram observadas correlações positivas significativas com Afeto Positivo da PANAS-VRP e SWLS, e correlações negativas com o Afeto Negativo e a HADS. Conclusões: A ER-EC-10 mostrou ser um instrumento válido e confiável para medir a resiliência em pacientes com cancro em Portugal, oferecendo uma avaliação sensível e específica dos desafios enfrentados por indivíduos em diagnóstico e tratamento oncológico. Este estudo reforça a importância de ferramentas adaptadas culturalmente para a avaliação psicológica em contextos de saúde.Departamento de Investigação & Desenvolvimento do Instituto Superior Miguel Torga2023-11-29info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.31211/rpics.2023.9.2.309https://doi.org/10.31211/rpics.2023.9.2.309Portuguese Journal of Behavioral and Social Research; Vol. 9 No. 2 (2023): November; 1–13Revista Portuguesa de Investigação Comportamental e Social; Vol. 9 N.º 2 (2023): Novembro; 1–132183-4938reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://rpics.ismt.pt/index.php/ISMT/article/view/309https://rpics.ismt.pt/index.php/ISMT/article/view/309/589Direitos de Autor (c) 2023 José Mendes, Pedro Alexandre-Sousa, Fábio Sousa, Márcio Tavareshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMendes, JoséAlexandre-Sousa, PedroSousa, FábioTavares, Márcio2023-11-30T22:01:04Zoai:ojs.rpics.ismt.pt:article/309Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T00:40:23.358244Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
