Quantitative and percentage Ugur and Fadiloglu tests were used in the analysis of descriptive data regarding caregivers, Kendall W analysis was used to assess content validity of the scale, Pearsons Product Moment Correlation was used for test-retest reliability of the scale and Cronbach Alpha Analysis was used for internal consistency. Results: Validity of the scale was determined by using Kendalls Coefficient of Concordance (W: 0.62, p > 0.05) and it was evaluated as theres no difference ofopinion among the experts. Test-retest reliability coefficient between the first and the second application of the scale was found - as. 88.
