Investigating the effect of a nurse-led educational program based on King's goal achievement model on self-care and social health of the Elders
Design
Random allocation software such as Random Allocation Software will be used to randomly allocate 80 samples to two study groups (40 people in each group). First, each sample is assigned a number from 1 to 80. A random sequence is generated for allocation to experimental and control groups (e.g., A and B). The intervention will be administered to the selected samples from both centers.
Settings and conduct
Two elderly-populated health centers in Jahrom will be purposively selected, and 80 participants will be randomly chosen from each center using simple random sampling. Before the intervention, both groups will complete demographic, self-care, and social health questionnaires. The intervention group will participate in eight educational sessions, while the control group will receive only the routine training provided by the center. The questionnaires will be completed again immediately and three months after the intervention.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Informed consent and voluntary participation in the research, age over 60 years, literacy, physical and mental ability to perform the intervention in a self-declared manner, access to a mobile phone
Intervention groups
Two health centers in Jahrom will be purposefully selected. Using random allocation software, 80 participants will be randomly assigned to two study groups, with 40 individuals in each group. The intervention group will receive training delivered by the researcher over eight sessions (two one-hour sessions per week) in the form of lectures and group discussions. The control group, however, will receive only the routine training provided by the center’s experts.

Randomization description
A total of 80 participants will be randomly selected in proportion to the elderly population of the center. Each participant will first be assigned a number from 1 to 80. To randomly allocate the 80 participants into two study groups (40 participants per group), a randomization software, such as Random Allocation Software, will be used. A random sequence will then be generated to assign participants to the intervention and control groups (e.g., groups A and B). For instance, sequences like AABB or ABBA will be selected randomly.
