| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Comfort | 5 weeks after first meeting | The scale consists of 39 items in total. Each statement in the scale has a Likert-type rating ranging from 1-4 from strongly disagree to strongly agree. 24 of the expressions are positive and 15 are negative, and negative items are reversed in scoring. Accordingly, a high score (4) indicates high comfort, a low score (1) indicates low comfort, and a low score (1) indicates high comfort in negative statements, and a high score (4) indicates low comfort. The Cronbach alpha coefficient was found to be 0.915. |
