Results: The analytical results were meaningful. The questionnaire and its factors in internal consistency and reliability time were desirable and acceptable; ie. internal consistency (0.91) and reliability time (0.86) were acceptable. Conclusion: The results of this study indicates that this questionnaire is both valid and reliable.
