This method is performed by considering 4 blocks so that the total number of 4 permutations is equal to 6. Then, using a table of random numbers and assigning code zero to 9 to each of the permutations (ABAB code 0, BABA code 1, AABB code 2, BBAA code 3, BAAB code 4 and ABBA code 5 to 9), a random list of 60 The desired consisting of 20 blocks of 4 (4 * 20 = 80 total number of samples) is generated and the order of assignment to each of the samples participating in the study is determined. How to use the table of random numbers is that the starting point is selected randomly and 20 numbers from zero to 9 are selected randomly (row or column) and the permutation assigned to each number is noted. (The order of placement of shifts next to each other will be from left to right) and how to allocate a total of 80 people to two groups A and B will be determined. (40 people in each group). These steps are performed using random allocation software, Blinding description: In this study, the evaluator of outcome are kept blind to the type of intervention. In this way, the outcome evaluator fills the questionnaire in the appointed time (day 1 and final day after 8 week), and does not know the allocation of the groups. 3 Sleep quality, Anxiety. Intervention 1: Intervention group: Intervention sessions are performed in 8 sessions (twice a week for four weeks) in the morning for 15 minutes while the elderly person is sitting on a chair. The technique is that at the beginning of each session, participants are asked to rate their level of mental distress on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 indicating the lowest and 10 the highest level of distress. The statement confirming the acceptance of this mental disorder is repeated 3 times. For example, "Even if I have this problem, I accept myself deeply and completely", this phrase is different for each person. Sequence of striking points, first the point of the karate stick and then the meridian point (head difference), between the eyebrows, both sides of the eyes, under the eyes, under the nose, under the lips, two claws in the chest, under the arms (below the armpit) The index finger, thumb, middle finger, and little finger are taught, and participants are asked to repeat the affirmative phrase when tapping the point of the meridian and the karate stick. And then point 9 - Gammot and turning the eyes to communicate with the two hemispheres of the brain along with whispering favorite music is taught. These steps will be repeated during 8 sessions. Intervention 2: Control group: A group on which no intervention will be made. Yes - There is a plan to make this available What will be shared: Analyzed data can be shared after completion of the study as an article. When: Start of access period 6 months after publication of results. To whom: All of the researchers in Medical Sciences Universities. Conditions: Analysis of data based on statistical software. Where to obtain: Dr. Majid Najafi Kalyani How to obtain: Sending request, permission from Ethic Committee, sending data. Comments:
