Parametric and nonparametric tests and descriptive statistical methods were used for data analysis. The significance levels were taken as p\<0.001 and p\<0.05. The scales used were analyzed with the Cronbach alpha reliability coefficient; the scenarios and forms created by the researchers were evaluated with the Lawshe Technique.
