本文介绍了简明弹性应对量表(BRCS)，该量表由4个条目组成，旨在捕捉以高度适应性方式应对压力的倾向。两个类风湿关节炎患者的样本(ns=90和140)为BRCS的信度和效度提供了证据。BRCS具有足够的内部一致性和重测信度。量表的收敛效度通过与个人应对资源(如乐观、无助、自我效能感)、疼痛应对行为和心理健康的测量的可预测相关来证明。根据BRCS的评估，弹性应对还可以缓冲高水平的关节炎相关和非关节炎相关应激源对抑郁症状的影响。BRCS对与认知-行为干预相关的变化的敏感性也被证明。BCR可用于确定需要旨在提高复原力应对技能的干预措施的个人。
This article introduces the Brief Resilient Coping Scale (BRCS), a 4-item measure designed to capture tendencies to cope with stress in a highly adaptive manner Two samples of individuals with rheumatoid arthritis (ns = 90 and 140) provide evidence for the reliability and validity of the BRCS. The BRCS has adequate internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Convergent validity of the scale is demonstrated by predictable correlations with measures of personal coping resources (e.g., optimism, helplessness, self-efficacy), pain coping behaviors, and psychological well-being. Resilient coping, as assessed by the BRCS, also buffers the effects of high levels of arthritis-related and non-arthritis-related stressors on depressive symptoms. The sensitivity of the BRCS to changes associated with a cognitive-behavioral intervention is also demonstrated. The BCRS may be useful for identifying individuals in need of interventions designed to enhance resilient coping skills.
