Abstract | This research adopted a quasi-experimental design in which purposive sampling was used.

During the research, participants were randomly assigned to either the experimental or control groups. During the research, eight participants withdrew due to personal reasons; 22 participants completed the research. The research spanned 12 weeks, from 21 September to 31 December 2017. |
