The scale underwent translation and back-translation before its psychometric evaluation. Its content validity was determined using the Content Validity Index (CVI), while construct validity was assessed through Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA).

The scale demonstrated high test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.96) and strong content validity (item-level CVI: 0.86–1.00; scale-level CVI: 0.98).
