The WONE Index as a Multidimensional Assessment of Stress Resilience: A Development and Validation Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Stress resilience is a dynamic process shaped by the interaction between demands and adaptive resources. Existing measures assess stress and resilience as separate constructs, limiting their use in digital health and workplace interventions. An integrated measure capturing both domains is needed.

Objective

We developed and validated the WONE Index, a multidimensional stress resilience tool designed to measure both current stress load and adaptive resources among full-time working adults.

Methods

We developed the 32-item WONE Index through literature review, expert consultation, and iterative refinement to assess stress load and resilience resources across behavioral, cognitive, and social domains. Phase 1 (N=1005; United States- or United Kingdom-based full
