家族レジリエンス尺度(FRI) 作成による家族レジリエンス概念の臨床的導入のための検討

抄録

　　F. Walsh notes family resilience as one of the strengths in the family, referring to the coping and adaptation process in which a suffering family recovers from crisis and adversity. According to Walsh, Family Resilience is the strength of struggling well and rebounding forward. This concept emanated from the paradigm of system theory, so it is introduced as a positive concept to encourage family strength and a healthy potential, not as just a risk prevention factor. That is, family resilience can fully function when it is adequately applied in clinical settings, which might be constructed to enhance family and family members to function with their own resilience.

　　In order to adapt and scrutinize this concept in clinical settings, we intended to develop a Family Resilience Inventory (FRI), as the first step. We instituted FRI of 44 questionnaires, which are based on 9 factors of the family resilience concept. We pre-tested on university students to examine FRI, using FACESKGII and Stress Coping Inventory (SCI) for relevance verification. As a result of factor analysis by the principle factor method, we determined four factors: ‘positive collaboration’ , ‘unity’ , ‘partnership’ ，and ‘stability’ These related to ‘cohesion’ in FACESKGII，to some extent and did not relate to SCI. Based on the results, we will present a clinical application model for the family to inspire their resilience. For that, we will pursue further research and literature reviews, regarding various vertical and horizontal aspects of family interrelationships.
