Power analysis was performed using the G*Power (v3.1.7) program to determine the number of samples. The power of the study (α) was accepted as 0.05 (95% confidence level), Type 2 error probability (β) was accepted as 0.20 (80% power level) and the effect size of 0.46 in the relevant literature (Pehlivan, 2021) was taken into account, and the minimum required minimum in the groups was taken into account. It was found that taking the sample size as 74 would be sufficient. In the study, it was aimed to have a total of 148 participants, 74 for the control group and 74 for the experimental group. Considering the possible loss, the study was completed with a total of 160 patients, 80 of which were in the control group and 80 in the experimental group.

While evaluating the findings obtained in the study, SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) version 25.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) program will be used for statistical analysis.
