      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Supportive, Randomization description: Volunteers are assigned to one of the two groups of control and intervention using block randomization (A form of restricted randomization). Blocking is usually used to balance the number of samples assigned to each of the study groups. This feature helps researchers to equate the number of samples assigned to each of the study groups in cases where intermediate analyzes are required during the sampling process. The size of all blocks is equal and in this two-group experiment we will have 4 blocks (including 2 participants in the intervention group and 2 participants in the control group). Randomization tools are also available from the website https://www.sealedenvelope.com) A useful site for generating a random sequence will be used for  Block randomization. For concealment, random allocation concealment will be used, which is the method used to execute a random sequence on the study participants, so that the assigned group is not known before the individual is assigned. Using opaque envelopes sealed with a random sequence, in this method, each of the random sequences created is recorded on a card and the cards are placed inside the envelopes in order.  In order to maintain a random sequence, the envelopes are numbered in the same way on the outer surface. Finally, the letter envelopes are glued and placed in a box, respectively. At the beginning of the registration of participants, one of the envelopes of the letter will be opened, respectively, based on the order in which the eligible participants enter the study. After the random assignment concealment method, in order to protect their personal information, the subjects' names are entered in a booklet along with a numeric code that is not related to their national code or ID number or personnel number, and all information is based on computers, forms and analyzes. It is a numerical code and the booklet will only be kept safe by the researcher and out of the reach of others, and the information reported in the research will not be such that the identities of the subjects can be ascertained, Blinding description: To reduce bias or bias related to the intervention and evaluate the consequences, the method of blind or covering a single blind blind is followed, with this method, the outcome can be measured objectively. In this method, the trial is planned in such a way that the participant does not know which of the two control or test groups belongs to. Because both groups go to the doctor according to routine visits and are routinely treated and ask the nurse and the doctor any questions they have about the disease and care. In addition, both groups are given a pamphlet on the set of nursing care related to the disease.</study_design>
      <phase>N/A</phase>
      <hc_freetext>Knee osteoarthritis.</hc_freetext>
      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: In addition to visits and routine care, they receive multi-faceted  tele-rehabilitation care in the form of 8 non-face-to-face (virtual) sessions for 7 weeks (2 sessions in the first week and 1 session per week for the next 6 weeks). The considered intervention aims to improve knowledge and awareness and increase skills in the implementation of multidimensional rehabilitation care. The dimensions of the tele-rehabilitation nursing program include three dimensions: 1- The nature, symptoms and problems of the disease, especially pain and their control methods (including resting the knee, using hot water and ice compresses, reducing heavy activities and modifying the way of life in the form of sleep and rest training and elimination 2- care Related to nutritional and medicinal diet 3- sports exercises. The presentation of this tele-rehabilitation program will be done using the Internet and through a smartphone with the WhatsApp platform, and the content will be sent in the form of voice, images, PDF, video, etc. Then, the participants are asked to perform the mentioned sports exercises 3 times a week for 6 weeks and perform rehabilitation care in the mentioned dimensions. The research participants will be followed up for 6 weeks. It should be noted that the duration of virtual meetings is about 20-40 minutes. Also, during the 6 weeks of the intervention, the intervention group will be followed up every week in such a way that there will be a question and answer session and a group discussion, and in addition to that 3 times a week for the implementation of sports exercises and care provided individually and they will be followed up by phone call or message. Intervention 2: Control group: They will routinely go to the clinic and be under the supervision of a physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist and receive common recommendations and care, and so that people do not know which group they belong to, the rehabilitation nurse is in contact with them during the study period to guide them if they have any problems in the field of care and disease complications.</i_freetext>

    <primary_outcome>
      <prim_outcome>1- Pain: It refers to knee pain and as a score obtained from the questions (5 items) of the independent pain subscale, from the Osteoarthritis Index of Western Ontario Universities and McMaster in Knee Osteoarthritis (WOMAC) And the pain subscale scores range from 0-20, and higher scores indicate more severe pain.                                                                                                           2. Joint stiffness: refers to knee joint stiffness and is reported as a score obtained from questions related to the joint dryness subscale (2 items) of the Ontario Osteoarthritis Index of the Universities of Western Ontario and McMaster in Knee Osteoarthritis (WOMAC) The range of scores of the joint stiffness subscale is 0-8, and higher scores indicate a worse situation.                                                                                                           3. Physical joint function: refers to the function of the knee joint and is reported as a score obtained from questions related to the Physical Performance subscale (17 items) Osteoarthritis Index of the Universities of Western Ontario and McMaster in Knee Osteoarthritis (WOMAC) The range of scores of the physical function subscale is 0-68, and higher scores indicate a worse condition of the physical function of the knee joint.                                                                                                                   4- Health  locus of Control : In this study, the meaning of Health locus of Control  is the amount of points that participants get from Form C of the Multidimensional Scale of Health locus of Control. This scale includes 4 subscales: 1- Internal belief (with a score range of 6-36), 2- Chance (with a score range of 6-36), 3- Physician (with a score range of 3-18) and 4- Influential people (with Score range 3-18). A higher score in the internal belief subscale than other subscales indicates the internal health  locus of control and a higher score in the other three subscales (luck, physician and influential people) indicates the external health locus of control. Timepoint: All the above variables will be measured at the beginning of the study (before the start of the study) and 49 days (7 weeks) and 70 days (10 weeks) after the start of the study and doing tele-rehabilitation program. Method of measurement: The Ontario University of Western Ontario and McMaster Index in Knee Osteoarthritis (WOMAC) are used to measure pain, joint stiffness, and physical function, and the Multifaceted Form C Health Control is used to control control settings.</prim_outcome>
