Mann-Whitney *⋆SGRQ Total Score and SCAQ Total Score are medians of the sum rather than the sum of partial scores.ES, effect size; SGRQ, St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire; SCAQ, Self-Care Agency QuestionnaireGroup comparisons of the differences in secondary endpoints revealed significantly lower SGRQ “activity” scores in the intervention group than in the control group (r = .37; p = .039). This indicates that the intervention group had a higher QOL with regard to activity. The SCAQ total scores of the intervention group were significantly higher than those in the control group (r = .38; p = .034), indicating a higher capacity for self-care.
