Language and content validity will be done for the scale form. The scale items will be translated into Turkish and expert opinions will be taken. Then, the Turkish scale items will be translated back into English and the linguist's opinion will be taken that the scale can be applied. Language validity and content validity will be done in the study. Explanatory Factor Analysis will be applied for the validity of the questionnaire. Kaiser Meyer Olkin(KMO) Test, which measures the adequacy of sample size as antecedent tests, and Bartlett's Test For Sphericity will be used to test sphericity. Factor Analysis Principal Component Analysis Method will be applied.
