Descriptive, translation, validation process, were conducted. Results The translation process satisfied. content index 0.91, yielding proper clarity items. Three constructs loaded with total variation 63.43%, indicating model fit. goodness-of-fit indices for revealed relative chi-square 1.47, comparative fit Tucker-Lewis 0.89, root mean square error approximation 0.046. Cronbach alpha values 0.90, 0.87, respectively. We found have more knowledge (64.4%), skills (73.4%), (73.4%) compared physicians nurses. There are significant ( p < 0.001) HCP groups, particularly counselors’ group in terms Conclusions is valid reliable HCPs. results highlight emergent need provide interventions medical professionals, helps all Arab countries assess, apply, implement interventions.
