Abstract
Abstract: Being able to increase and know how to strengthen resilience may be relevant for patients living with long-term symptoms such as chronic fatigue syndromes. The current study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of a Norwegian-translated version of the REMAP resilience measure in a sample of patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome and healthy controls. Factor analyses indicated poor fit for both the one- and five-factor solutions of the translated REMAP measure with best fit for a correlated five-factor model. Validity proved to be good, while reliability was poor for two of the subscales. Differences were revealed between gender, age groups, and between patients and healthy controls. The construct validity indicates that REMAP assesses adequate aspects of resilience. REMAP might be valuable to use to show that resilience resources could be developed in various life domains and aid in coping with chronic illness. However, REMAP should be further tested in other samples and cultures.
