Only the intervention group was given private training on the method of performing the work. The outcome of the intervention was examined by the evaluator through the completion of questionnaires. The data analyst was blinded and did not know which sample belonged to which group, Randomization description: "Participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the control group using a permuted block randomization method. To ensure an equal allocation ratio throughout the study and to prevent predictable patterns, variable block sizes (4 will be employed. The randomization sequence will be generated by an independent investigator, who is not involved in the recruitment or treatment process, using [Random Allocation Software ]. To maintain strict allocation concealment, the sequence will be implemented using sequentially numbered, opaque, sealed envelopes. These envelopes will only be opened by the investigator at the time of enrollment and after obtaining informed consent, ensuring that the investigators and participants remain blinded to the allocation until the moment of intervention, Blinding description: To ensure a balanced sample size in the intervention and control groups and to prevent time-related bias, a block randomization method was used with Stata software. In this method, participants were divided into blocks of 4 such that in each block the number of individuals assigned to both groups was equal. 3 Occupational stress and sleep quality in nursing professionals. Intervention 1: After grouping and practical training for the intervention group in internal programs, a group of members is formed and an educational video is prepared. Before the start of each session, the video is uploaded and provided to them. Socks are prepared and the individuals wear them. The desired points are marked with a marker and given to the individual. At the end of each week, after 3 sessions (per week), an electronic questionnaire is provided to the participants and completed. Intervention 2: Control group: Only the questionnaire is completed every week without any intervention.
