Resilience in Organ Transplantation: An Application of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) With Liver Transplant Candidates.
Journal of Personality Assessment 2015 September
End-stage liver disease (ESLD) is a chronic and debilitating condition associated with substantial psychological stress, morbidity, and mortality. The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC; Connor & Davidson, 2003 ) is a commonly used resilience measure. This research examined the validity of the CD-RISC among ESLD patients (N = 120) using exploratory factor analysis. Results supported a single-factor solution after removing poorly loading items. The CD-RISC also was correlated with measures of depression, anxiety, quality of life, social support, age, and cognitive ability, thus providing evidence to support its construct validity. Future research should confirm this factor structure and examine its predictive validity prior to widespread use among ESLD patients. This research represents the first step in this process and proposes an alternative version of the CD-RISC for this population.
