- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Healthcare Demand Procrastination Scale At the end of the 4 weeks The minimum score that can be obtained from the scale is "11", the maximum score is "55", and as the score obtained from the scale increases, behaviour of healthcare demand procrastination also increase.
