IRCT20210427051101N1 IRCT 2021-06-19 Tehran University of Medical Sciences Assessment the effect of virtual self-care education on COVID-19 anxiety, among the community dwelling elderly Assessment the effect of virtual self-care education on COVID-19 anxiety, among the community dwelling elderly 2021-06-21 anticipated 122 Complete https://irct.ir/trial/55906 interventional Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Triple blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Education/Guidance, Randomization description: Sampling is by block random sampling method and participants are divided into two groups of intervention and control. Given the sample size, n blocks of 4 are required for random block allocation. The intervention group will be displayed with A and the control group with B. Blocks of size 4 can be six modes 1-AABB 2-ABAB 3-ABBA 4- BBAA 5- BABA 6-BAAB. Then we roll the dice, for example 4 comes to BBAA, we roll the dice again, for example 5 comes to BABA, and so on, we repeat and roll the dice until all the samples are allocated. In order to hide the random allocation from the researcher, a dark envelope sample size is prepared and each of the random sequences created is recorded on a card and placed inside the envelope and finally the envelope lid is pasted. At the time of enrollment in the study, according to the order of entry of samples, one of the envelopes is opened in order and the group of the sample is specified, Blinding description: Participants are randomly divided into control and intervention groups. Then the trainings are provided to the intervention group and every three weeks the participants in the control and intervention group are followed up through WhatsApp messenger. Therefore, participants are unaware of their position in the group and the type of intervention performed. Due to the use of dark envelopes and English letters for random assignment of participants, the researcher is unaware of the location of participants and a name is determined for each person based on computer coding, and the researcher follows people through this and during the call. Due to the coding of individuals, it is unaware of their random allocation. The outcome assessor and data analyst reviews and announces the results using data encoding. 3 COVID-19 anxiety.
