In order to collect data for compiling the research literature, "library studies" using "survey tool" and "field studies" using "expert sessions" and "closed questionnaire" tools were used to collect real data. The theoretical saturation continued and the questions of the questionnaire were also from two aspects of external validity and content in order to make the items clear and unambiguous and also adequate. The quantity and quality have been confirmed by experts. Using Spss software, the reliability coefficient (Cronbach's alpha) was calculated as 0.834, which indicated the acceptable reliability of the questionnaire.
Findings: By analyzing quantitative data using "descriptive parameters", all the statements counted from "qualitative content analysis" of upstream documents and expert meetings were confirmed, and their importance was prioritized using "Shannon's entropy" method.
