Psychometric properties of the spanish version of the 10-item Connor-Davidson resilience scale (10-item CD-RISC) in a sample of workers

The aim of the study is to analyze the psychometric properties of the Spanish adaptation of the scale of resilience CD-RISC of Connor and Davidson (2003) in the 10-item version in a sample of workers. Two samples were used. In the first sample a total of 386 workers completed this scale. We carry out EFA to observe the factor structure of the scale which resulted in one main factor responsible for 55.8% of the total variance and containing the 10 items. The internal consistency was appropriate (Cronbach's alpha of 0.87). In order to ratify the model obtained in the AFE, a confirmatory factor analysis was conducted with data from sample 2(N = 238) which corroborated the univariate model. As for the divergent validity, correlationswith scores on the variable burnout, psychological health and job satisfaction were statisticallysignificant and followed the theoretical direction (total sample= 624). It is concluded that the Spanish 10-item version of the CD-RISC by Connor and Davidson (2003) presents adequatepsychometric properties to estimate resilience in workers.
