The results of validity and reliability test confirmed the content validity and showed acceptable level of internal correlation of questionnaire (CVI≥ 0. 78, Cronbach's alpha=0. 948). The analysis of the major components with varimax rotation, according to the KMO and the eigenvalues, three factors were extracted which accounted for 71. 16% of the total variance.
