Descriptive and inferential statistical indices for chronic stress, vital exhaustion and symptoms of depression, at pre- and posttest, separately for the intervention and control groups.

Note: NIG = 62, NCG = 65; * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01; [T] = trivial effect size, [S] = small effect size, [M] = medium effect size; IG = intervention group, CG = control group.
