One hundred fifty-two 152 members from twelve faculties of nursing in Rajabhat University were identified as a stratified random sample. Five Likert-scale questionnaires were used as a research instrument. Validity analysis by Index of Item Objective Congruence was between .57 to 1.00 and the alpha coefficient reliability was .986. The data were analyzed by an Exploratory Factor Analysis to extract the components by principal component analysis and varimax orthogonal method.
