Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The sample size was estimated using G-power 3.1.9.2 software. The sample size was estimated to be 52 participants. Assuming the attrition rate was 20%, there were 32 people in the experimental group and the control group making a total of 64 participants.
During the study, one participant in the experimental group had premature delivery due to early water rupture, and the other one was hospitalized for tocolysis due to frequent uterine contractions and therefore withdrew from the experiment, resulting in a loss of 2 samples. For control group, one participant was admitted to the hospital for tocolysis due to prepartum hemorrhage and was withdrew from the study. Therefore, a total of 61 participants completed the study .
