Sample size
Target sample size: 60
Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
For sampling, first each of the eligible individuals is selected to enter the study and then the samples will be placed in each of the two groups (intervention) A or (control) B according to the available method based on quadruple block and random allocation. 4 blocks will be used for sampling (AABB, ABAB, BBAA, BABA, ABBA, BAAB).
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Triple blinded
Blinding description
In this study, each questionnaire and medication package will be identified by the letters A (intervention group) and B (control group). The researcher, clinical caregiver (gynecologist) and the data analyst are blind to the type of intervention provided to each participant so that they do not know which questionnaire and medication package belong to which group. The only informed person is the midwife working at the sampling site. This person is fixed until the end of the study and his only role in the study is randomization. After explaining the research to the research units and obtaining informed written consent based on random allocation, they will be placed in two groups of intervention and control. 4 blocks will be used for sampling (AABB, ABAB, BBAA, BABA, ABBA, BAAB).
