Content validity:
Used qualitative and quantitative approaches to assess content validity. Qualitatively, 11 specialists gave written feedback on wording, grammar, location in the scale, choice of vocabulary, and appropriateness of the items. Quantitatively, both the Content Validity Ratio (CVR) and Content Validity Index (CVI) of each item were calculated. A CVR score above 0.59 was considered acceptable, and a CVI score above 0.79 was considered acceptable.
Reliability (Cronbach Alpha):
0.94
Reliability notes:
Stability was evaluated through the test-retest method. The Intra-class Correlation Coefficient (ICC) was calculated as 0.98.
