Reviewer 3 Report
Recommendations for the manuscript author(s) include:
A revision to the results table to clearly illustrate the study findings to the reader in relation to the participants’ gender (male, female).
For reader clarity, provide specific descriptions of the study findings for each measure in relation to gender (male, female) under the results section.
Revision of the typographical errors under the abstract are necessary.
For reader clarity, provide a description of the study participants’ setting (e.g. college, university, technical) and student level of nursing educational program (e.g. vocational, undergraduate, graduate).
There are minor grammar revisions within the body of the manuscript requiring attention and revisions.
