Psychological resilience was assessed using a German version of the 25-item Resilience Questionnaire (RS-25)38. The total score of the RS-25 ranges between 25 and 17539. The scale has a unidimensional structure and includes items such as “I am usually able to find solutions to solve problems” and “My life is meaningful.” Participants were required to rate their agreement on a 7-point scale ranging from 1-strongly disagree to 7-strongly agree. Scores exceeding 161 indicate a very high degree of resilience, scores between 146 and 160 indicate a high degree of resilience, scores between 131 and 145 indicate a moderate degree of resilience, scores between 116 and 130 indicate a low degree of resilience and scores below 100 indicate a very low degree of resilience capacity40.
