Table 3. Comparison of mean change scores for the Arousal Scale during each visit (n = 20) .
Visit | Mean Score | Mean Change Score | |||||
Pre | Mid | Post | Pre-to-Mid | Mid-to-Post | Pre-to-Post P value | Pre-to-Post % Change | |
1 | 2.60 | 2.95 | 2.70 | 0.35 | 0.25 | *0.10 | 3.85 |
2 | 2.60 | 2.65 | 2.60 | 0.05 | 0.05 | 0 | 0 |
3 | 2.70 | 2.90 | 3.05 | 0.20 | 0.15 | 0.35 | 12.96 |
4 | 2.40 | 3.25 | 3.25 | *0.85 | 0 | *0.85 | 35.42 |
5 | 2.50 | 3.10 | 3.15 | *0.60 | 0.05 | *0.65 | 26.00 |
6 | 2.50 | 3.05 | 3.00 | *0.50 | 0.05 | *0.45 | 20.00 |
7 | 2.60 | 3.25 | 3.40 | *0.65 | 0.15 | *0.8 | 30.77 |
8 | 2.20 | 3.00 | 2.95 | *0.80 | 0.05 | *0.75 | 34.09 |
One-Way Repeated Measures ANOVA for mean change scores between each visit pre-to-mid Arousal Scale was statistically significant along a linear trend (P = 0.009) and within-subjects (sphericity assumed-P = 0.02). That is, the trend from 0.35 (visit 1) to 0.8 (visit 8) was statistically significant (P = 0.009).
One-Way Repeated Measures ANOVA for mean change scores between each visit pre-to-post Arousal Scale was statistically significant along a linear trend (P = 0.05). That is, the trend from 0.1 (visit 1) to 0.75 (visit 8) was statistically significant (P = 0.05).
* Statistical significance (P < 0.05).
