Abstract: Purpose: Resilience is an underdefined, understudied, yet potentially critical contributor to poststroke aphasia rehabilitation. Resilience measurement is difficult for individuals with communication limitations; therefore, the purpose of this study was to modify and validate a psychometrically robust scale of resilience, the University of Washington Resilience Scale (UWRS), to be maximally accessible for individuals diagnosed with aphasia. Method: The UWRS eight-item short-form modification (with permission) involved panel discussions and cognitive interviews with experts in aphasia, including clinicians and individuals with poststroke aphasia. The resulting verbally and visually simplified scale was then validated with 65 participants with aphasia using scales of similar and related constructs, such as depression, chronic stress, and anxiety. Test–retest reliability was also assessed. Results: Statistically significant associations among the modified scale and scales of similar and related constructs indicated its construct and convergent validity. A test–retest reliability analysis indicated the reliability of the modified scale. Conclusions: The modified UWRS (mUWRS) appears to be a reliable and valid measure of resilience for individuals with aphasia. The mUWRS may be a useful clinical tool and important when used to investigate resilience and its impact on rehabilitation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
