Comparison of evaluation moments and groups in relation to BDI, MMRC, and anxiety and depression.
| N = 26 | Control group (N = 13) | Intervention group (N = 13) | p time | p group | p TxG | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hospitalization | After one month | Hospitalization | After one month | ||||
| BDI | 4.1 ± 3.0 | 5.6 ± 2.4 | 2.4 ± 1.6 | 5.0 ± 1.4 | 0.008 | 0.39 | 0.15 |
| MMRC | 2.7 ± 0.9 | 2.0 ± 1.0 | 3.1 ± 0.4 | 2.2 ± 0.6 | 0.001 | 0.24 | 0.67 |
| Anxiety | 7.4 ± 5.0 | 4.5 ± 5.4 | 8.9 ± 6.9 | 4.0 ± 4.9 | 0.04 | 0.80 | 0.60 |
| Depression | 5.3 ± 4.4 | 3.3 ± 3.9 | 3.1 ± 3.1 | 2.3 ± 2.2 | 0.22 | 0.17 | 0.63 |
Values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. BDI, basal dyspnea index; P TxG, p value of the interaction between time and group. p < 0.05, comparison assessed by two-way ANOVA repeated measurements analysis.
