AB  - BACKGROUND/AIM: To evaluate psychometric properties of the Connor and Davidson 
      Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) in a Greek population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Internal 
      consistency and test-retest reliability were measured. Global Assessment of 
      Functioning Scale (GAF), World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL) 
      questionnaire, Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and General Health Questionnaire 
      (GHQ) were used as measures for convergent reliability. Factors were extracted by 
      using exploratory factor analysis (EFA). A total of 546 subjects (244 healthy 
      individuals and 302 psychiatric patients) were recruited. RESULTS: The scale 
      showed excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha=0.925), as well as 
      excellent test-retest reliability (intra-class correlation coefficient=0.925). 
      CD-RISC scores were positively correlated to GAF and WHOQOL scores, while being 
      negatively correlated to PSS and GHQ scores, establishing adequate convergent 
      validity. We decided on a model with four factors, in order to form sub-scales 
      that measure different, but related aspects of resilience. CONCLUSION: CD-RISC is 
      a reliable and valid measure of resilience and can be used for clinical and 
      research aims in the Greek population.
