Data for: REBEn 2022-0696: Translation and validation of The Multidimensional Individual and Interpersonal Resilience Measure

Objective: This study aimed for the translation, cultural adaptation and validation of “The Multidimensional Individual and Interpersonal Resilience Measure” to Brazilian Portuguese. Method: After initial translation, the pre-final version underwent rigorous cultural adaptation procedures. The final adapted version was submitted to a validation study. Results: Adaptation procedures provided equivalence between the pre-final version and the original one in semantic, idiomatic, experiential and conceptual terms. The validation study included 187 older adults. The exploratory factorial analysis (AFE) generated a model with five factors (RMSEA = 0.030; TLI = 0.959; X² = 151.590 p> 0.05). The final version showed adequate consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.705) and test-retest reliability (ICC=0.835). No statistically significant correlation was found between resilience and sociodemographic or with epidemiological variables evaluated in this study. Conclusion: EMRII-BR is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring resilience in the Brazilian elderly population.
