Abstract
CHECCLLO TENORIO, Adin Mezollam and ESCUDERO NOLASCO, Juan Carlos. Construction and validation of a family resilience scale for family members of people with disabilities in the city of Ica. Rev. Fac. Med. Hum. [online]. 2023, vol.23, n.4, pp.73-80. Epub Nov 30, 2023. ISSN 1814-5469. http://dx.doi.org/10.25176/rfmh.v23i4.5539.
Objective:
To create and validate a family resilience in caregivers relatives of people with disabilities (ERF-PD).
Methods:
The research design is instrumental. The sampling was non probabilistic with a sample of 301 relatives of people with disabilities. Initially, 40 items were created but this number was reduced after the statistics analysis.
Results:
Aiken’s V values of 1.00 were obtained in all items. After the item analysis, nine items were removed. From the exploratory factor analysis, 17 items remained that explain 56.0% of the overall variance; whereas the confirmatory factor analysis obtained good fit indexes for this structure (Chi2/gl=1.876; CFI=0.982; TLI=0.979; RMSEA =0.037; SRMR=0.064). Internal consistency showed coefficients above 0.70 in the general scale and its three factors.
Conclusion:
The scale shows evidences of validity and reliability for the evaluated sample, justifying its use in research and professional activity.
