Anxiety was measured with 100-mm visual analog scale (VAS) immediately before and after the first time the participant received chaplain-led picture-guided spiritual care among the second half of participants (n = 25). Anxiety decreased from a mean (SD) VAS score of 64 (29) to 44 (28) (mean absolute reduction of 20 points; 95% confidence interval, −33 to −7; P = 0.002; mean relative reduction of 31%; 95% confidence interval, −48% to −15%; P = 0.001).
