Experimental Group (Randomize)

The sample size was determined as at least 64 people for each of the experimental and control groups, with 80% power, 0.05 margin of error and 0.5 effect level. Considering the possibility of data loss later on, 70 pregnant women (140 in total) were included in each group. The groups were randomized into 2 groups using a web-based randomization program (http://www.randomizer.org). 357 pregnant women were evaluated for suitability for the study. 68 women did not meet the inclusion criteria and 149 women were not included because they did not agree to participate in the study. The pre-test of the study was completed with 70 experimental and 70 control groups (140 in total), and the post-test was completed with a total of 130 people, 69 experimental and 61 control groups.
