Table 2.

Occurrence of low GSES and high TSK in the entire study group of 266 patients

Control group (n = 138) Intervention group (n = 128)
n Mean (SD) Median (Min-Max) n Mean (SD) Median (Min-Max) P-value
GSES ≤ 29a 36 (26 %) 25.3 (4.2) 27 (11–29) 40 (37 %) 24.3 (5.1) 26 (10–29) 0.3
TSK ≥ 40b 70 (52 %) 46.9 (5.3) 46 (40–64) 63 (59 %) 43.2 (5.5) 45 (40–60) 0.4

aSome of the GSES questions were considered difficult; as a result, 19 patients in the control group and 10 in the intervention group left some or all of them blank and therefore had to be excluded

b Regarding the TSK, 8 patients in the intervention group did not answer all questions and had to be excluded
