Teachers’ Resilience Scale (SRN) – Polish Adaptation of Teachers’ Resilience Scale (TRS) by M. Platsidou and A. Danilidou

Keywords: resilience, teachers'resiliens, teacher's, protective factors, risks factors

Abstract

This article presents the Polish adaptation of Teachers' Resilience Scale (M. Platsidou, A. Danilidou). The scale is used to diagnose resilience among teachers. The article contains information about the adaptation procedure - development of the Polish language version and testing the psychometric properties of the scale. Validation studies were conducted among 317 teachers. The primary structure of the scale is similar to the original version - exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis confirmed its four-factor structure (Personal Competences, Family Cohesion, Social Competence and Peer Support, Spiritual Influences). The empirical data obtained indicate satisfactory reliability, stability and accuracy of the presented scale.
