Table 3.

Secondary results testing effects of the intervention on immediate post-program scores and on slopes of change in outcomes over all three assessments. Analyses include 68 participants who provided baseline and at least one follow-up score. Results presented include the F score, the degrees of freedom (df), significance level of the analysis (P), measures of effect size (eta2 and Cohen's d), and observed power (1-β).

Eta2 is the effect size indicating the proportion of the total variance attributed to the effect of treatment (calculated by dividing the sum-of-squares for an effect by the sum-of-squares total; small=.01, medium=.06, large=.14). PSS - Perceived Stress Scale, VAS - Visual Analog Scale, SSQ - Stanford Sleep Questionnaire, FSI - Fatigue Symptom Inventory, FIQ - Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire, CAR - cortisol awakening response
