| Before | 20.63±16.03 | 28.28±10.76 | 0.054 |
| After | 26.00±11.63 | 23.76±11.78 | 0.438 |
| Pb | 0.121 | 0.208 |
aThe significance level of multivariate covariance analysis was compared the mean of the variables between the two groups, bThe significance level of the paired t-test for comparing the mean of the variables after the intervention than before the intervention in each group.
