Design
The present study is a double-blind randomized clinical trial study.
Settings and conduct

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Allocation of samples in groups will be by random blocks without being replaced in each center. For this purpose, first the letter A for the control group and the letter B for the intervention group are considered and different modes of the two groups are written on the cards and each of them is placed in a closed and opaque envelope. These envelopes are placed in a box and before selecting the card, the researcher does not know the participants will be palace in what group. The statistician (unaware of the study and the groups) with picking up one of the envelopes from the box, will determines the patients entering the study will be in which group, respectively. This process is continued until all the cards are taken out of the box and the cards are returned to the box again and this random selection is repeated to provide the desired sample size. To cover the random allocation, the blocks with different numbers will be used, ie six blocks and two blocks will be entered into the blocks. The six blocks can be a combination of ABBABA and so on. Double blocks can also include AB, BA.

Six months later, the mean anxiety score in both groups decreased, and the control group was 9.85 ± 5.25. The intervention group was 7.14 ± 4.32, and there were significant differences between groups, and the intervention group was lower than the control group (p=0.009). Twelve months later, the mean anxiety domain score of HADS was 9.62 ± 4.93 in the control group and 7.89 ± 4.55 in the intervention group. Although the anxiety score was decreased in the intervention group than in the control group, there were no significant differences between anxiety score groups (p=0.086).
