Table 3.

Social support, self-esteem and general self-efficacy at pre-test (T1) and post-test (T2) for the intervention group (‘I’, n = 24) compared with the control group (‘C’, n = 25).

	Group	T1	T2	t-value	p-value
Social support	I	4.56 (0.36)	4.67 (0.34)	2.32	<0.05
	C	4.55 (0.33)	4.43 (0.49)
Self-esteem	I	2.94 (0.45)	3.02 (0.52)	1.27	0.21
	C	2.96 (0.45)	2.96 (0.42)
General self-efficacy	I	2.91 (0.55)	3.02 (0.73)	0.29	0.77
	C	2.78 (0.71)	2.78 (0.81)

Notes: T1 and T2 values are represented as mean (SD). The degree of change from T1 to T2 between the intervention and the control group is tested with an independent-sample t-test.
