The findings were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s correlation coefficient.RESULTS: During the evaluation of content validity, no questions were eliminated. To carry outfactor analysis, sampling competence, and suitability of sample size were confirmed throughKaiser–Meyer–Olkin and Bartlett’s tests. In the factor analysis stage, 14 items in three factors weredefined. The factors were included reexperiencing and analysis, arousal (continuous irritability), andavoidance factors which together explained 59.43% of percentage distribution. In the next stageof evaluating divergent validity, the results indicated a significant and inverse correlation betweenASD score and quality of life score (r = −0.43, P = 0.002) of the participants, while there was alsoa positive and significant correlation between ASD score and general health disorder score ofthe participants (r = 0.47, P < 0.0001). The reliability of the questionnaire was investigated usingCronbach’s alpha, and inner class correlation coefficient was calculated to be 0.9.CONCLUSIONS: The tool investigated in this study has suitable validity and reliability and is effectivefor use by psychologists and relief workers for necessary interventions and prevention of ASD indisasters.
