The present methodological study aimed to develop the Disaster Anxiety Scale and reveal its psychometric properties. It was carried out with 514 voluntary participants between April 15 and July 5, 2021. The research data were collected using a demographic information form, the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS), and the Disaster Anxiety Scale (DAS). The findings revealed that the DAS consists of a total of six items clustered under a single factor explaining 86.37 % of the total variance. For reliability concerns reliability, the researcher calculated the Cronbach's α value to be 0.96 for the DAS total score. There was a significant, moderate, and positive correlation (p < 0.001; r = 0.44) between the CAS and the DAS. Overall, it was found that the 6-item DAS is a valid and reliable instrument for the sample group studied.
本方法学研究旨在开发灾难焦虑量表并揭示其心理测量特性。该研究于2021年4月15日至7月5日对514名自愿参与者进行。研究数据通过人口统计学信息表、冠状病毒焦虑量表（CAS）和灾难焦虑量表（DAS）收集。研究结果显示，DAS共有六个项目，归为一个单一因素，该因素解释了总方差的86.37%。出于可靠性考虑，研究者计算出DAS总分的克朗巴哈α值为0.96。CAS与DAS之间存在显著、中等程度的正相关（p < 0.001；r = 0.44）。总体而言，发现6项DAS对所研究的样本组是一种有效且可靠的工具。
