Randomization description
Simple and individual randomization was performed by using a table of random numbers. The numbers in the table were used from the top to the bottom. Even numbers were considered for the experimental group and odd numbers for the control group. Opaque and sealed envelopes and random sequences were used for blinding. Each generated random sequence was written on a card; the cards were placed inside the envelopes; and the envelopes were sealed and placed in a box. At the time of participant registration, based on the order of the inclusion of eligible participants, one envelope was opened and the group to which that participant was allocated was revealed.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)

Blinding description
At the outset of the study, explanations about the method were given to the caregivers, but no explanation was provided about group allocation. At the end of the study, an educational pamphlet was given to the control group.
