In this way, the researcher will first determine that all the people to whom the odd number is assigned to be in the control group and those to whom the even number is assigned to be in the test group.He will then close his eyes and place his finger on one of the digits in the random number table. The researcher will select the required number of even and odd numbers by moving in the table of random numbers. All numbers will be placed in separate envelopes and all will be placed in a box. When the sample enters the study easily with the entry conditions, then the number one card will be returned to him and depending on whether this card has an even or odd number will be in one of two test or control groups.

The study will include two groups including the intervention and control group, which will be conducted among preterm infants .
