Background: The Self-Identified Stage of Recovery (SISR) (Andresen, 2007) is a scale used to assess both the stage of recovery (SISR-A) and the components of the process of personal recovery (SISR-B). This study aimed to develop the Spanish version of the SISR and obtain evidence of validity and reliability in a sample of 230 users of community mental health services. Method: The Spanish version of the SISR was developed following the translation–back translation procedure, with the support of a committee of experienced experts. The SISR was examined in terms of dimensional structure, internal consistency, relationships with other variables (i.e., the Maryland Recovery Assessment Scale [MARS-12] and the Dispositional Hope Scale [DHS]), and temporal stability (n = 66). Differential item functioning (DIF) by gender was analysed. Results: The study confirmed the unidimensionality of the SISR-B and suitable internal consistency of its scores (ω = .83, α = .83). Scores from both SISR-A and SISR-B showed good temporal stability and the SISR-B displayed strong correlations with the MARS-12 (rs = .78) and the DHS (rs = .67). No DIF was found. Conclusions: This study supports the validity and reliability of the scores of the Spanish version of the SISR.

Antecedentes: La Self-Identified Stage of Recovery (SISR) (Andresen, 2007) es una escala que evalúa tanto la etapa de recuperación (SISR-A) como los componentes del proceso de recuperación personal (SISR-B). El objetivo del estudio fue desarrollar la versión en español de la SISR y obtener evidencias de validez y fiabilidad en una muestra de 230 usuarios de servicios comunitarios de salud mental. Método: La versión en español se desarrolló siguiendo el procedimiento de traducción-retrotraducción, con el apoyo de un comité de expertos por experiencia. Se examinó la estructura dimensional, consistencia interna, relaciones con otras variables (Escala de Evaluación de la Recuperación de Maryland [MARS-12] y Escala de Esperanza Disposicional [DHS]) y estabilidad temporal (n = 66). Se analizó el funcionamiento diferencial del ítem (DIF) por género. Resultados: El estudio confirmó la unidimensionalidad de la SISR-B y una adecuada consistencia interna de sus puntuaciones (ω = .83, α = .83). Las puntuaciones de la SISR-A y la SISR-B presentaron estabilidad temporal y la SISR-B mostró correlaciones elevadas con la MARS-12 (rs = .78) y la DHS (rs = .67). No se encontró DIF. Conclusiones: Este estudio apoya la validez y fiabilidad de las puntuaciones de la versión española de la SISR.
