The Swahili version of the CD-RISC 10 resilience scale: psychometric properties and factors associated with resilience among healthcare workers in Tanzania.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite the central role of resilience in promoting mental well-being, little is known about the resilience process among healthcare workers in East Africa, partly due to the lack of adequately standardised and psychometrically sound assessment tools for our context. This study provides the first psychometric evaluation of the Swahili version of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale 10 (CD-RISC 10) among nurses/midwives and community health volunteers (CHVs) in Tanzania, potentially informing the accuracy of measuring resilience in this setting. Additionally, we examine factors associated with self-reported resilience as measured by the CD-RISC 10 scale.

Methods

We used cross-sectional data on nurses/midwives (n = 950) and CHVs (n = 355). Cronbach's alpha and McDon
