The research methodology was both qualitative and quantitative. Data were collected through interviews. The statistical population consisted of experts, academics, and specialists in the relevant field with an unlimited population size, from which 18 participants were selected until theoretical saturation was achieved. The sampling method was snowball sampling, whereby interviewees were asked to introduce knowledgeable individuals related to the research topic for subsequent interviews. Primary data were gathered through interviews. Following the methodological process, and through three stages of open coding, axial coding, and selective coding, relevant codes were first identified from a large volume of primary data. Subsequently, using the constant comparative method, concepts were extracted from multiple codes, and in the same manner, other codes were transformed into concepts, resulting in a total of 93 concepts. In the next stage, several concepts were grouped into categories, leading to the identification of 20 categories for this study. The results indicated the significance of the relationships and components of the proposed model.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> https://www.journalfwdmj.com/index.php/fwdmj/article/download/231/306
