Masking Details
Masking Description According to the randomization table, the information showing the patients included in the research sample is assigned to the A and B groups will be put in an opaque envelope. This envelope will be kept by the coordinator researcher (DL) and when the researcher (FA) goes to the patient for application, after filling out the "Informed Voluntary Consent Form", he will open the envelope and learn which group is in which group. Due to the nature of the study, patients and the researcher (FA) will notbe blinded, since abdominal massage will be applied only to the patients included in the study. When the research is completed, the data will be transferred to the computer environment by a statistician who does not know the A and B groups, and the data will be analyzed by a statistician independent of the research and the findings will be reported. Thus, the data analysis and statistics phase will be blind to group assignment
