Comparison of demographic and clinical data of stigmatized and non-stigmatized individuals in the therapy group.
| Variable | Stigmatized group (N = 166) | Non-stigmatized group (N = 118) | Statistics |
|---|---|---|---|
| N female (%) | 97 (58.43) | 63 (53.39) | Fisher's exact test: p = 0.467a |
| Age t1 | Mdn = 30, IQR = 11 | Mdn = 32, IQR = 16.75 | U = 10978, p = 0.082b |
| Trauma load t1 | M = 39.09; SD = 7.07 | M = 34.54; SD = 6.93 | t = −5.41, p < 0.001c |
| PDS sum score t1 | Mdn = 17, IQR = 7 | Mdn = 14, IQR = 7 | U = 7540, p < 0.001b |
Mdn, Median; IQR, Interquartile range; M, Mean; SD, Standard deviation; PDS, Posttraumatic Stress Diagnostic Scale.
a
Fisher's exact test for count data.
b
Mann-Whitney U-test for continuous data, as model residuals were not normally distributed.
c
Student's t-test for continuous data with normally distributed model residuals.
