Table 5.

Means and standard deviations for each QoL domain score related to HADS subscale score cut-offs. MANOVA effect sizes and post hoc comparisons are included

WHOQoL-BREF domains
Physical QoL Psychological QoL Social QoL Environment QoL
HADS depression
 Normal range 66.78 (19.92)* 57.62 (16.47)* 53.07 (19.96)a,b 65.63 (17.38)*

 Presence 37.94 (18.87)* 26.73 (13.79)* 30.49 (20.13)b 44.61 (17.66)*
Partial eta squared 0.32 0.46 0.21 0.23
HADS anxiety
 Normal range 76.88 (14.97)* 65.10 (17.20)* 51.24 (19.58)a 71.46 (15.32)*
 Borderline 61.31 (20.39)* 48.80 (16.46)* 45.67 (22.11) 62.95 (15.45)*
 Presence 46.40 (20.54)* 37.40 (17.84)* 38.36 (23.01)a 50.55 (18.92)*
Partial eta squared 0.25 0.25 0.05 0.17

For post hoc comparisons: for each domain score each matching superscript letter indicates significant difference for each pair of values labelled with the same letter

*Indicates all pairings significantly different

Partial eta squared = 0.01 for a small effect, 0.06 for a medium effect, and 0.13 for a large effect
