Public awareness is crucial in the prevention and management of the pandemic outbreaks. Accordingly, this study aimed to develop a scale that measures individuals' awareness on pandemic outbreaks. The study investigated psychometric properties of the Pandemic Awareness Scale (PAS) in a Turkish sample ( = 1303) during the COVID-19 pandemic. The exploratory-factor-analysis (EFA) results ( = 903) indicated a high internal consistency reliability ( = .89) and suggested one-factor structure. The factor structure was confirmed in a different sample ( = 400) by a confirmatory-factor-analysis (CFA). The CFA results indicated that the one-factor model fits the data well ( /df = 3.79, GFI = .96, IFI = .97, TLI = .94, CFI = .97, RMSEA = .084). The results suggested that the PAS is a valid and reliable tool to measure Turkish individuals' pandemic awareness level.
公众意识在大流行疫情的预防和管理中至关重要。因此，本研究旨在开发一种衡量个人对大流行疫情认知的量表。该研究在新冠疫情期间对一个土耳其样本（n = 1303）调查了大流行认知量表（PAS）的心理测量特性。探索性因素分析（EFA）结果（n = 903）表明内部一致性信度较高（α = 0.89），并提示单因素结构。通过验证性因素分析（CFA）在另一个样本（n = 400）中证实了该因素结构。CFA结果表明单因素模型与数据拟合良好（χ²/df = 3.79，GFI = 0.96，IFI = 0.97，TLI = 0.94，CFI = 0.97，RMSEA = 0.084）。结果表明，PAS是衡量土耳其个人大流行认知水平的有效且可靠的工具。
