Study Design

• Study Type: interventional
• Phase: not applicable
• Allocation: RANDOMIZED
• Masking: SINGLE
• Who Masked: OUTCOMES ASSESSOR
• Masking Details: Due to the nature of the study, it was not possible to blind the researcher and the participant who applied the intervention, but the statistics and report writing process were blinded.The students in the experimental and control groups related to the research were informed about the purpose of the study.The person conducting the research knows which is the experimental group and which is the control group. For this reason, single and double blinding was not done in the study. The data regarding the measurements were written as 'A' and 'B' without specifying the experimental and control groups, and the groups were coded.The analysis of the data coded in terms of groups will be done by the statistics expert. After the statistical analyzes are made and the research report is written, the coding for the experimental and control groups will be explained.
