The quantitative data gained from PSSI scores was analysed by using independent t-test.
The qualitative data gained from open-ended surveys were analysed using content analysis, whereas the data gained from the interviews with the students were analysed using descriptive analysis. After data coding of the open-ended surveys, the common aspects of these codes were gathered together. These common aspects were used for the determination of the categories. The frequencies and percentages for each of the concepts related with these categories were calculated. In addition, the recordings from interviews were listened, and the transcriptions were read carefully to gain an overall picture of their content. Each quote of the students was coded. These coded quotes that are related with the concepts gained from the interviews were used for the definition of the organized data.
