What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Spiritual well-being scale

    The scale consists of 29 items and is a five-point Likert type. The lowest score of 29 points and the highest of 145 points are obtained from the scale. The higher the score indicates a higher spirituality well being.

    Measured: Change from Baseline level of Spiritual well being scale at 3 weeks (change is being assessed)

  2. The Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)

    The scale is a 40-item self-report measure of anxiety using a 4-point Likert-type scale (from 0 to 3 points) for each item. The total score obtained from the scale varies between 20 and 80. A large score indicates a high level of anxiety, and a small score indicates a low level of anxiety.

    Measured: Change from Baseline level of The Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory at 3 weeks (change is being assessed)
