Results: The mean age of study participants was 45.6 ± 16.1 (20-85). years. Spearman correlation coefficient of the scale for testretest reliability was 0.853 and the Cronbach Alpha coefficient was 0.95. According to fit indexes of confirmatory factor analysis [x2/ SD= 481.38/230= 2.09; RMSEA= 0.087; GFI= 0.776; CFI= 0.776; NNFI= 0.875] it was found that one factors were appropriate for the scale.
