The measurement tools were fish sheets and coding logs whose content was determined by qualitative content analysis and then used for quantitative analysis by converting the structures and codes into quantity. In order to check the reliability of coding, Cohen's kappa coefficient method was used. Cohen's kappa coefficient shows 0.857 and it means that there is a high agreement between the two coders. Volcott's thematic analysis method was used to analyze the research data.
