About this study

The practitioner made an appointment over the phone to conduct individual sessions during the morning hours when each participant was available. Before the first session, the online pre-assessment tools (Google form) of the study were delivered to the participant, and then a statement of intent was sent to the participant. The person who will take the session is requested to be in a comfortable position. During the application, he/she can talk, sleep, work if he/she wishes. However, he was warned not to use tools and cutting tools. The second session will be held at the same time, one week later, and the online final evaluation forms were asked to be filled one day later. The group will be re-evaluated after 21 days. No intervention was made in the control group. The same measurement tools were used in all groups.
