Legal supportconsists of 4 phrases. Health supportconsists of 6 phrases. Financial supportconsists of 5 phrases. Emotional support consists of 5 phrases. The psychometric properties of the scale have been verified.

Results: The psychometric properties of the scale were verified, as the results of internal consistency showed that all items of the scale were significant at the level of .01, and by calculating the correlation between the sub-dimensions and the total score, the dimensions were consistent with the scale, with correlation coefficients ranging from  .77 -  .83, as were indicators of validity. The structure is good, as the value of χ2 for the model = 618.23, with degrees of freedom = 293, which is statistically significant at the level of .01. As for reliability, it showed a reliability coefficient using the Cronbach’s alpha method. All reliability coefficients were high, which reached .90 for the scale as a whole. Thus, the tool used is characterized by validity and stability and can be used scientifically.
