Abstract: Study explored the psychometric properties of the Spinal Cord Injury-Quality of Life measurement system (SCI-QOL) Resilience 8-item short form (SF) in comparison to the criterion standard resilience measure, the Connor Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). Data were collected from 202 individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System measures (depression, anxiety, participation in social roles and activities, pain intensity, fatigue, sleep disturbance); SCI-QOL SFs (resilience, positive affect and well-being, mobility); CD-RISC; National Institutes of Health Toolbox for Assessment of Neurological and Behavioral Function - perceived stress; and Satisfaction with Life Scale were administered. Descriptive statistics were calculated to examine variable data distribution characteristics. Correlation analyses were conducted for convergent and discriminant validity. Reliability statistics were calculated for resilience and other validity measures. The mean and standard deviation (SD) for the SCI-QOL Resilience SF (mean=48.60; SD=8.20) approximated the normative mean (mean=50, SD=10). The SCI-QOL Resilience SF scores were essentially normally distributed though somewhat kurtotic, with skew=-0.17 and excess kurtosis=1.4; internal consistency reliability was good (Cronbach’s alpha=0.89). Convergent validity was supported by significant moderate correlations in expected directions between the SCI-QOL Resilience SF and measures of CD-RISC resilience, depressive symptoms, anxiety, social participation, positive affect and well-being, stress, and satisfaction with life. Discriminant validity was supported by small non-significant correlations between the SCI-QOL Resilience SF and age, sex, injury level, time since injury, pain intensity, mobility, sleep disturbance, and fatigue. The results suggest that the SCI-QOL Resilience SF is a psychometrically valid tool that can reliably estimate levels of resilience in the SCI population.
