Abstract:

Objective To develop a psychological resilience scale for adolescents with severe neck scar.

Methods Scale item pools were constructed through literature search and patient interviews. Delphi expert consultation method, item analysis, coefficient of variation, item-item correlation coefficient, item-dimension correlation coefficient, internal consistency coefficient, factor analysis were applied. The items were screened and the reliability and validity were checked.

Results Six principal factors were extracted through principal component factor analysis. The relationship between the distribution and dimensions of the common factors was basically consistent with the oretical framework of "Kumper's Psychological Elasticity". The correlation coefficient between dimensions of the scale was 0.402-0.691, and the correlation between dimensions was statistically significant (P<0.01). The correlation coefficient between dimensions and the total score was 0.701-0.832, and the correlation between dimensions and the total score was statistically significant (P<0.01). The total Cronbach's α coefficient of this scale was 0.872, indicating good reliability.

Conclusion The formed psychological resilience scale for adolescents with severe neck scar has good reliability and validity, and it can be widely used in the assessment of psychological resilience for adolescents undergoing neck scar resection and skin grafting.
