The type of research is a single cross-sectional design in which the collection of data from the respondents was carried out only once.

Another questionnaire was designed based on previous studies and the theoretical framework.

Both questionnaires were distributed to a sample of (380) patients in the two hospitals.

Data was analyzed using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version (20).
