Psychometric Validation of Odia Translated CYRM-R Scale

Abstract

Aim: This study aims to test the psychometric properties of Odia translated Child and Youth Resilience Measure (CYRM-R) scale Method: A total of 167 participants were recruited for this study. The English version of the CYRM-R scale was translated into Odia and back-translated into English. Following item analysis, exploratory factor analysis using Oblique rotation was used to confirm the factor structure and internal consistency of the scale was established. Results: The items on the scale had a good inter-item correlation. The contextual resilience scale was removed due to low internal consistency. The final scale had two subscales namely individual and relational resilience. Significant differences were found in resilience between the two genders and CNCP & CCL population. Conclusion: The translated CYRM-R seems to be a good scale with high reliability to measure resilience among youth. However further study has to be done cross-culturally to generalise the results.
