Data was collected using questionnaires and analyzed through mean values, standard deviations, and the priority needs index. Content analysis was also conducted; 3) To develop a model, the criteria were set for experts with a doctorate degree or higher or an expert level, knowledge and experience in budget or stakeholders, a total of 5 people. the researcher evaluated the model with 5 experts using an assessment form to determine accuracy and feasibility. Data was analyzed using mean values, standard deviations, and content analysis.
