The PRE-intervention state is indicated by the measured T1 variable without time-related measurement error because there is only one measurement point. In the case of POST-intervention state, there are two indicators, enabling the modeling of measurement error. The loadings of the indicators in ...
Estimating the sample size for a pilot randomised trial to minimise the overall trial sample size for the external pilot and main trial for a continuous outcome variable. Stat Methods Med Res. 2016;25:1057–73. Article Google Scholar Migliorini C, Sinclair A, Brown D, Tonge B, New P....
All analyses were performed with SPSS 26.052. First, we will explain how the resilience variable was calculated, which we used as dependent variable in the subsequent analyses. This is followed by explaining the (1) correlational analyses to test hypothesis 1a and 1b (students with a growth min...
Older adult women often do not engage in sufficient physical activity (PA) and can encounter biological changes that exacerbate the negative effects of inadequate activity. Wearable activity monitors can facilitate PA initiation, but evidence of sustained behavior change is lacking. Supplementing wearable...
More specifically, mediation effects will be estimated by examining the indirect effect of the intervention on change in caregiving burden through the effect of change in the mediating variable(s) (e.g., positive emotion) on change in caregiving burden. We will test the significance of the ...
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance use disorder (SUD) have high comorbidity. Although prior research indicated that PTSD can effectively be treated with Prolonged Exposure (PE) in these patients, reported effects are small and treatment d
measuring presence of goals, goal completion and meaning in life. Responses are on a Likert scale ranging from 1–7 with a total score ranging from 4 to 28. Higher scores on this scale are indicative of greater reported purpose in life. It has been shown to have acceptable reliability [53...
Additionally, the T1 score of each outcome variable is taken into account in the models by virtue of the chosen analysis (i.e., DID). 3.3. Outcome analyses Examination of R2 values for DID regressions indicated that in each case, the model including covariates explained more of the variance...
The groups significantly differed regarding their within-session change in feeling secure (Difference = 17.78, CI 7.78 to 27.78, p = 0.001). We found a significant increase in the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) variable secure in the animal-assisted MSCBI group, indicating that patient...
scale46. This instrument measures the three-dimensional structure of stimuli, objects and situations with 18 bipolar adjective pairs which can be rated along a 9-point scale. This measure was not the primary dependent variable of our study but we added it in the study for the exploratory ...
