The data are expressed as means (SD) for the DASS-21 scores of the completers of this study (n = 15) in the intervention and (n = 8) control groups. p-values were obtained via repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) for within-group comparisons with Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons. Between-group comparisons were conducted using independent t-tests. (p-values: * p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01).
