Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change in quality of life summary scores before intervention to 4-week post intervention.

  Quality of life was measured using the Chinese version of the Quality of Life Index (QLI)-Part I. It contains 33 items measuring satisfaction regarding the four domains (health and functioning, social and economic domain, psychological/spiritual wellness, and family). The QLI-Part I is a six-point satisfaction rating scale from very unsatisfied (1) to very satisfied (6). To determine the scores, each satisfaction item is recoded from -0.25 to 0.25, and both the overall and subscale scores of the QLI-Part I calculated by following step by step scoring instructions ranges from 0 to 30; highest values represent better quality of life

  The data were collected before the intervention to week 12: baseline, in the middle of the intervention (the fourth week), at the end of the intervention (the eighth week), and the follow-up four weeks after the intervention (the twelfth week).

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  The data were collected before the intervention to week 12: baseline, in the middle of the intervention (the fourth week), at the end of the intervention (the eighth week), and the follow-up four weeks after the intervention (the twelfth week).
