What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. 36-Item Short Form Survey Instrument

    The objective measure of the quality of life. The scale total score from 0 (negative health) to 100 (positive health) .

    Time frame: The evaluation will be applied at the baseline and after study completion, an average of 2 months.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS)

    20-item self- report measure to assess positive affect and negative affect. The total score is calculated by finding the sum of the 10 positive items, and then the 10 negative items. Scores range from 10 - 50 for both sets of items. For the total positive score, a higher score indicates more of a positive affect. For the total negative score, a lower score indicates less of a negative affect.

    Time frame: The evaluation will be applied at the baseline and after study completion, an average of 2 months.
