Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Assessment of anxiety

  Anxiety levels were assessed using the odd-numbered questions of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS-14). The full title of HADS-14 is Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. This scale consists of 14 items, with 7 items specifically measuring anxiety, known as the Anxiety Subscale (HADS-A). Each item in the Anxiety Subscale is rated on a 4-point Likert scale, ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to 3 (significant symptoms). The total score for the anxiety subscale can range from 0 to 21. Higher scores indicate worse outcomes, specifically reflecting greater levels of anxiety. The scoring is categorized as follows: * 0-7: Normal anxiety levels * 8-10: Borderline abnormal anxiety (suggesting possible anxiety) * 11-21: Abnormal anxiety (indicating clinical levels of anxiety)

  Anxiety was assessed before the intervention, and at 4 and 8 weeks after the intervention.

  Depression was assessed before the intervention, and at 4 and 8 weeks after the intervention.
