After checking the validity and reliability of the questionnaire, it was distributed among teachers. The questionnaire consisted of three parts: demographic information, knowledge, and attitude. To analyze data, descriptive statistic and inferential analysis were done by two-sample t-test and one-way analysis of variance.

In addition, mean scores of the attitude of men and women were 70.53% and 71.07%, respectively (P > 0.05).
