And on the day of random division of research units, caregivers will be asked to choose a card. People who belong to number one are in the test group. And the people assigned to number two will be in the control group.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
Blinding description
The people in the intervention and control groups do not get to know each other before, during and after the intervention and do not meet until the end of the study so that they do not know which group the caregiver is in.Rather, only by the end of the study do the facilitator and the student know which caregivers are in which group. Only those in the intervention group in the WhatsApp groups will be given the necessary additional information and coordination to hold meetings, while these materials and coordination will not be notified to the control group. The booklet provided at the time of sampling to individuals in both intervention and control groups has the same content.
