EUC, enhanced usual care; LS, least square; HADS, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (depression subscale score range: 0–21; anxiety subscale score range: 0–21; higher scores indicate elevated anxiety or depression); GAD-7 (total score range: 0–21; higher scores indicate more severe worry); SII, Sleep Impairment Index (total score range: 0–20; higher scores indicate more severe sleep impairment); PANAS, Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (subscale total score range: 10–50 on positive and negative scales, respectively; higher scores indicate more greater positive and negative mood, respectively); Pleasure Scale (total score range: 36–180; lower scores indicate more severe anhedonia); CSS, COVID-19 Stress Scale (each scale total score range: 0–24; higher scores indicate more severe stress). Effect size was calculated by the difference in least square means between intervention and EUC from mixed model divided by the pooled standard deviation.
