A Whatsapp group will also be established to enable patients to communicate and ask questions. During the process, 9 web-based and 3 face-to-face group trainings will be held. A posttest will be administered to both groups at the end of the last group training, and a permanence test will be administered 1 month later via Google surveys on the Whatsapp group. SPPS program and Pearson Chi-square test, Independent Samples Test, McNemar, Pearson Chi-square test, ANOVA (Repeated Measures ANOVA) will be used to analyze the data.
