      Behavioural Intention at T0
The behavioural intention at T0 and T1 was computed by taking the
items, as their Cronbach’s s were 0.66 and 0.79, respectively. Figure 2 shows the histogram for the score at both T0 and T1. At T0 almost half (45.7%) of the patients had given the maximum score, and data showed limited variation. Variation at T1 was larger, therefore further analyses predominantly focus on data collected at T1.
Data Analysis
The data were analysed using SPSS version 22. The analyses included: Pearson correlation analyses to examine the constructs’ correlation coefficients, controlled correlation analyses to examine factors’ association with behavioural intention, t-tests to analyse the factors’ change between T0 and T1, and
 mean score of the five questionnaire
