Development and validation of the multi-dimensional health resilience scale for community-dwelling adults.

Introduction: Resilience measures generally are not health specific, nor do they account for the multiple dimensions required for individuals to overcome health challenges. To bridge this gap, we developed and validated a multi-dimensional Health Resilience Scale (HRS) for community-dwelling adults in Singapore.

Methods: We followed standard procedures to develop health resilience construct, identify dimensions, and generate potential items.
