Spearman’s rank correlations coefficients (Rho) are presented, which are considered significant if p < 0.05 (two-tailed). As not all of the subjects completed the full survey, the N is given for each correlation. Abbreviations: DASS-21 = depression anxiety stress scale 21 items, POMS-SF = profiles of mood states short form, IBS = irritable bowel syndrome. - = questionnaire has no subscales.
