Background: Aim of the present study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Italian version of the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations Short Form (CISS-SF), which consists of three dimensions (task-, emotion- and avoidance-oriented coping). Methods: A sample of 1469 nurses completed the Italian translation of the CISS-SF and the subscales Depression and Anxiety of the SCL-90. Findings: Consistently with previous reports (Cohan, Lang, & Stein, 2006) a four factor solution (avoidance was split into two: Contact a friend and treat oneself) showed a better fit than the original structure. The CISS-SF dimensions showed high internal consistencies, ranging from 0.82 to 0.89. Correlations between the resulting subscales and SCL-90 dimensions extended empirical support for the construct validity of the subscales. Discussion: Overall, the results suggest that the Italian CISS-SF represents a valid and reliable adaptation of the instrument, which can be confidently used to measure coping strategies.

Abstract

Background: Aim of the present study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Italian version of the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations Short Form (CISS-SF), which consists of three dimensions (task-, emotion- and avoidance-oriented coping). Methods: A sample of 1469 nurses completed the Italian translation of the CISS-SF and the subscales Depression and Anxiety of the SCL-90. Findings: Consistently with previous reports (Cohan, Lang, & Stein, 2006) a four factor solution (avoidance was split into two: Contact a friend and treat oneself) showed a better fit than the original structure. The CISS-SF dimensions showed high internal consistencies, ranging from 0.82 to 0.89. Correlations between the resulting subscales and SCL-90 dimensions extended empirical support for the construct validity of the subscales. Discussion: Overall, the results suggest that the Italian CISS-SF represents a valid and reliable adaptation of the instrument, which can be confidently used to measure coping strategies.
