Resilience is an important psychological resource that helps nurses respond to workplace stress while maintaining professional functioning and quality of care. This study aimed to cross-culturally adapt the Resilience Scale for Nurses (RSN) into Indonesian and examine preliminary psychometric evidence in critical-care nurses. The adaptation followed Beaton et al. (2000) and included forward translation, synthesis, backward translation, expert-panel review, and pilot testing with 100 nurses working in critical-care settings. Content validity was evaluated using the Item Content Validity Index (I-CVI), Scale Content Validity Index (S-CVI/Ave and S-CVI/UA), and Aiken's V. Item performance was examined using corrected item-total correlations, and internal consistency was evaluated with Cronbach's alpha. Six experts produced I-CVI values of 0.833-1.000, S-CVI/Ave of 0.974, S-CVI/UA of 0.842, and Aiken's V values of 0.750-0.958. In the pilot sample, corrected item-total correlations ranged from 0.482 to 0.866, while Cronbach's alpha was 0.933 for the total scale and 0.776-0.868 across dimensions. These findings provide preliminary evidence of content adequacy, item performance, and internal consistency for the Indonesian RSN. Because exploratory/confirmatory factor analysis, convergent and discriminant validity, test-retest reliability, McDonald's omega, and measurement invariance were not assessed, the four-factor structure and broader construct validity should be confirmed in larger and more diverse Indonesian nursing samples.
