Average stress score in the treatment group was 12.50 (normal stress) and in the control group of 14.60 (mild stress). The results of paired t-test in the treatment group obtained p value of 0.001 which means the difference in stress score before and after therapy with an average decrease of 3.20 points. In the control group there was a difference in stress score (p value = 0,000) with an average increase of 1.15 points.
