Other six professional or s emi-professional groups comprise nurse, social welfare workers, school teachers, lawyers, librarians, computor engineers and architects to whose qustionnaires include the same questions for comparison as well as different questions toeach occupational group to find out the status-quo and problems specific to each group.
