The appropriateness, applicability, and present application of each recommendation in the guideline were analyzed with descriptive statistics using the SPSS program, with content analysis based on the experts’ opinions.
Result: The scores on each recommendation’s appropriateness and applicability showed the high degree of above 7 in 13 among 14 recommendation. But above 50% of recommendation showed the low degree in the scores on present application.
