Randomization description
The research included a total of 120 participants, 60 people in each group, who applied to the gynecology outpatient clinics of Çanakkale Mehmet Akif Ersoy State Hospital between November 2023 and December 2023 and met the inclusion criteria, as a sample group. A simple computer-assisted randomization method was used to distribute pregnant women to the experimental and control groups homogeneously. For the use of the computer-assisted simple randomization method, 120 sets were created by using the functions available on the website "https://www.random.org/integer-sets". Thus, in order to reduce selection bias and control variables that may affect the result parameters, 60 of the participants were randomly assigned to the experimental group and 60 to the control group. Considering possible losses, a total of 140 people were included in the sample group, 70 people in each group.
