They had the minimum ability to read and write and were members of Foundation of Martyrs and Veterans Affairs. From a population of 350 persons, a sample of 30 individuals was selected using simple random sample method and they were divided into experimental and control groups. After randomized selection of the individuals, the experimental group was trained in 8 sessions of 90 minutes.
