The samples were taken using purposive sampling techniques and then the data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) ver. 28. One Sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test is used as a data normality test and hypothesis testing is conducted using the Paired-Sample Wilcoxon Signed Rank test.
