Item	Comparison between the two groups before intervention	Comparison between the two groups after intervention	Comparison of before and after intervention in the observation group	Comparison of before and after intervention in the control group
HAMD	0.523	-0.481	-8.985^b	-6.614^a
BDI	0.416	-0.586	-8.453^b	-5.035^b

The value in the table is the statistical value t/Z (where t is the t-value of the test two independent samples or paired-samples t test and Z is the statistical value of the Mann-Whitney U test). HAMD: Hamilton Depression Scale; BDI: Beck Depression Inventory; BAI: Beck Anxiety Inventory; P-coping style: Positive coping style; N-coping style: Negative coping style.
