PTSD sum | Trauma group | 27.9 (9.6)a | 33.0 (7.8)b | 22.5 (5.5)c |
Stressor group | 27.6 (12.4)a | 39.6 (6.8)b | 26.8 (9.2)a | |
Anxiety | Trauma group | 2.4 (0.67)a | 2.7 (0.57)a | 1.7 (0.30)b |
Stressor group | 2.3 (0.81)a | 3.0 (0.41)b | 2.0 (0.53)a | |
Depression | Trauma group | 2.4 (0.56)a | 2.6 (0.64)a | 1.9 (0.45)b |
Stressor group | 2.1 (0.85)a | 2.8 (0.51)b | 1.9 (0.51)a |
Pre=regular assessment point during the treatment (i.e., either t1 or t2), TS=assessment point directly after the subsequent trauma or stressful event, post=regular assessment point during treatment (i.e., either t2 or t3).
Means within a row that do not share a superscript differ at p<0.05 (t-test, one-tailed).
