  1. a P-values for comparing scores between the baseline and follow-ups (derived from one-way repeated measures ANOVA); b P-values for comparing differences between CG and IG (derived from independent t-test); c P-value for testing the effect of time and group on the research variables (derived from two-way repeated measure ANOVA).
  2. IG, intervention group; CG, control group; M, mean; SD, standard deviation; CI, confidence interval.
  3. P < 0.05.
