RESUMO:

Although the relationship between resilience and mental health has been widely discussed in the last decades, there are gaps in the knowledge produced about methodological aspects used in epidemiological studies, adding a restricted approach to adolescence, thus giving relevance to this theme. This study began with a literature review on types of measures and main findings of epidemiological studies that used the Resilience Scale (RS), a reliable and validated instrument in several countries including Brazil, and was considered the most appropriate for studies with adolescents. . Several measures have been used to evaluate this construct, including quantitative measures obtained by the sum total of scale responses and qualitative measures with adoption ratings whose criteria for choice have not been well established and thus can be considered arbitrary. Even so, the findings showed protective effects exerted by resilience to the health-disease process in several populations exposed to adverse situations, including adolescents. This was followed by a study to identify safer criteria for classifying RS scores and thus distinguishing subgroups of individuals according to resilience levels in a community sample of 1015 adolescents, using latent class analysis (LCA). Through this analysis were found models consisting of three classes defined as high, medium and low for the two dimensions called personal competence and acceptance of self and life. These LCA models were evaluated by the goodness of fit criteria and the assessment of association with behavioral problems was statistically significant only for the dimension of self-acceptance and life. Finally, this classification obtained by the LCA was used to analyze the role of resilience in the relationship between maternal mental health and the occurrence of behavioral problems among adolescents in a cross-sectional design. It was found that both maternal mental health and resilience acceptance of self and life influenced the occurrence of behavioral problems in adolescence in opposite directions, risk and protection respectively. However, no change in the effect of maternal mental health resilience on the occurrence of behavioral problems in adolescents was found. Thus, the classification of subjects according to level of resilience through LCA and the protective effect of resilience on adolescent mental health in a context of adversity found in this study constitutes a relevant contribution to epidemiological knowledge, which may guide future research on this issue that presents scarcity mainly in adolescence.
