The study revealed that the intervention group demonstrated a significant decrease in the physical burden from baseline to 6 months. Thus, in the within-group analysis, the score decreased with 3.23 points, from a mean (± SD) score of 10.5 (± 8.6) points to 7.3 (9.2) points (p = 0.03). Moreover, the change in physical burden from baseline to 6 months differed significantly between the intervention and control groups (p = 0.02), with the score for the control group increasing with 2.62 points, from 8.4 (± 9.2) to 11.1 (± 8.1) points.
