The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire. Content validity, face validity, convergent and divergent validity were used to determine the validity of the questionnaire. The reliability of the questionnaire was determined using Cronbach's alpha coefficient (0.943) and combined Cronbach's alpha coefficient, and Cronbach's combined alpha coefficient of all dimensions was more than 0.70. To describe the data, descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation and graphs) was used, and to analyze the data, first the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used and to compare the data distribution of the research variables, the normal distribution was employed.
