The statistical software SPSS version 22 was used to analyze reliability by Cronbach'salpha and the Delphi method for content validity. An instrument with 32 items grouped in 4dimensions was elaborated and applied to 116 students to analyze reliability. The instrument was adjusted to 25 items, and content validity was analyzed by a panel of experts. The judge'sconsensus was the foundation for developing a 29-item version grouped into 4dimensions. This version was applied to 60 students to obtain Cronbach's alpha validation.Results. The instrument presents an excellent level of reliability, with a Cronbach's Alphacoefficient of 0.927.Conclusions.
