Abstract

Resilience has been defined as one's competence to maintain a mental health state and overall well-being when undergoing grave stress or facing significant adversities. Numerous resili-ence-investigating research tools were developed over the years, with the Connor-Davidson Re-silience Scale (CD-RISC), a self-rated tool presenting valuable psychometric properties, remaining one of the most prominent. We aimed to translate and validate the brief CD-RISC-10 in a convenient sample of 584 nurses in Greece's secondary and tertiary health care system. We conducted a con-firmatory factor analysis and known-groups validity and estimated the reliability of the CD-RISC-10. Our confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the scale had a unifactorial structure since all the model fit indices were very good. Moreover, the reliability of the CD-RISC-10 was very good since Cronbach's alpha was 0.924 and McDonald's omega was 0.925. Therefore, the Greek version of the CD-RISC-10 confirmed the factor structure of the original one and had very good validity and reliability.
