This study had four technical criteria for checking data validity: credibility, dependability, transferability, and confirmability. The data obtained were then analyzed reductively, phenomenologically, and editically during data collection. The method of data analysis was done by reducing data, presenting data, drawing conclusions and carrying out data verification.
