The Mothers' Questionnaire Spielberger's anxiety was. Results: The results showed that there was no significant difference between the two groups before intervention (P = 0.68). But after the intervention, the anxiety level in the intervention group was significantly lower than the group (P <0.01). The covariance test showed a significant difference between the intervention and control groups before and after the intervention (P <0.01).
