Measured: 10 week
Secondary outcomes (3)
Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)
It determines how the individual feels in general, independent of the current situation and conditions. The Trait Anxiety Inventory is a 4-point Likert-type scale: (1) Almost never, (2) Sometimes, (3) Often, and (4) Almost always. The score obtained in the total of the scale takes the values of minimum 20 and maximum 80. A high total score indicates an increase in anxiety, a low score indicates a decrease in anxiety. .
Measured: 10 week
