Purpose: This study developed and psychometrically evaluated the Korean version of Bugen's Coping with Death Scale(K-CDS) for use among community-dwelling Korean older adults. Methods: Following Brislin’s translation model, theoriginal 30-item scale was linguistically and culturally adapted into Korean. A cross-sectional methodological study wasconducted with 220 participants aged 60 years or older. Construct validity was assessed by confirmatory factor analysis(CFA) and correlations with related psychological constructs, such as death anxiety, attitudes toward death, and egointegrity. Internal consistency was examined using Cronbach’s⍺coefficient. Results: We removed four items with factorloadings below 0.30. This resulted in a 26-item K-CDS. The CFA supported a unidimensional structure with acceptablemodel fit (x2/dF=1.52, CFI=.92, TLI=.91, RMSEA=0.05, SRMR=.06). A significant negative correlation with death anxiety(r=-.29, p<.001) and a positive correlation with ego integrity (r=.18, p=.007) demonstrated convergent validity. The scaleshowed strong internal consistency (Cronbach’s ⍺=.89). Conclusion: The K-CDS is a psychometrically sound instrumentthat can measure coping with death among older adults. Additionally, it is suitable for evaluating outcomes of deatheducation or related interventions in geriatric populations.
