The validity of the questionnaires was calculated from the content validity method and their reliability through Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.84 and 0.82, respectively. Descriptive statistics including mean and standard deviation and inferential statistics including Pearson's correlation coefficient were used for analyzing.
