Abstract

Objectives: A significant gap currently exists in the availability of reliable and scientifically rigorous measures for evaluating resilience among older Arabic-speaking populations. The primary objective of this study was to assess the psychometric properties of an Arabic adaptation of the 15-item Resilience Scale of Older Adults (RSOA) in a sample of Arabic-speaking Egyptian older adults.

Method: Using a cross-sectional design and a convenience sample of 539 Egyptian older adults, with 60.7% aged between 65 and 75 years (50.3% females), participants completed an online Google form-based anonymous questionnaire, including sociodemographic information, the RSOA, and the 10-item CD-RISC. To ensure accurate translation, the forward-backward translation method was employed. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and gender invariance in the RSOA were analyzed. McDonald's ω and Cronbach's α were calculated to assess internal consistency.

Results: The results demonstrate that the Arabic RSOA and its subscales exhibit high internal consistency, with McDonald's ω and Cronbach's α values ranging from 0.83 to 0.93. CFA analysis revealed that the four-factor model fit of RSOA was acceptable. Measurement invariance was supported across genders. Furthermore, both genders exhibited no significant differences in all four RSOA dimensions. Convergent validity was supported by demonstrating that the four RSOA sub-scores and total scores correlated positively and significantly with the 10-item CD-RISC.

Conclusion: While further cross-cultural validation involving other Arab countries and communities is necessary, this study suggests that the Arabic RSOA may be used to measure resilience among broader Arabic-speaking older adults in clinical and research contexts.

老年人复原力量表阿拉伯语译本的心理计量特性。
目的:目前,用于评估阿拉伯语老年人抗逆力的可靠且科学严谨的测量方法还存在很大差距。本研究的主要目的是在讲阿拉伯语的埃及老年人样本中评估阿拉伯语改编的 15 项老年人复原力量表 (RSOA) 的心理测量特性:采用横断面设计,方便抽样调查了 539 名埃及老年人,其中 60.7% 年龄在 65 岁至 75 岁之间(50.3% 为女性),参与者填写了一份基于 Google 表单的在线匿名问卷,其中包括社会人口学信息、RSOA 和 10 个项目的 CD-RISC。为确保翻译的准确性,采用了正向-反向翻译法。对 RSOA 进行了确认性因素分析(CFA)和性别不变性分析。计算了 McDonald's ω 和 Cronbach's α 以评估内部一致性:结果表明,阿拉伯语 RSOA 及其分量表显示出较高的内部一致性,其 McDonald's ω 和 Cronbach's α 值介于 0.83 和 0.93 之间。CFA 分析表明,RSOA 的四因素模型拟合是可以接受的。不同性别间的测量不变性也得到了支持。此外,两性在所有四个 RSOA 维度上都没有表现出显著差异。RSOA的四个分项得分和总分与10个项目的CD-RISC呈显著正相关,从而支持了收敛效度:虽然有必要在其他阿拉伯国家和社区进行进一步的跨文化验证,但本研究表明,阿拉伯语 RSOA 可用于在临床和研究环境中测量讲阿拉伯语的老年人的复原力。

期刊介绍: Aging & Mental Health provides a leading international forum for the rapidly expanding field which investigates the relationship between the aging process and mental health. The journal addresses the mental changes associated with normal and abnormal or pathological aging, as well as the psychological and psychiatric problems of the aging population. The journal also has a strong commitment to interdisciplinary and innovative approaches that explore new topics and methods. Aging & Mental Health covers the biological, psychological and social aspects of aging as they relate to mental health. In particular it encourages an integrated approach for examining various biopsychosocial processes and etiological factors associated with psychological changes in the elderly. It also emphasizes the various strategies, therapies and services which may be directed at improving the mental health of the elderly and their families. In this way the journal promotes a strong alliance among the theoretical, experimental and applied sciences across a range of issues affecting mental health and aging. The emphasis of the journal is on rigorous quantitative, and qualitative, research and, high quality innovative studies on emerging topics.
