Development and Cross‐Cultural Validation of the Vietnamese Version of the Disaster Prevention Consciousness Scale: A Cross‐Sectional Study
The 20-item J-DPCS demonstrated strong validity and reliability. The validated core model of the V-DPCS, consisting of 12 items across Factors 1-3, is suitable for cross cultural application. However, Factors 4 and 5 require further development to enhance measurement stability. These findings underscore the complexities of adapting disaster prevention scales across cultures and support the utility of the core V-DPCS structure in diverse settings.
