Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Emotional regulation variables. Timepoint: - Pre-test: at the beginning of the study (before the intervention) - Post-test: three months after the beggining of intervention - Follow-up test: 2 months after the intervention. Method of measurement: Questionnaire: consist of two subscales of 6-item reassessment and 4-item repression. Participants respond on a 7-point Likert scale from strongly disagree (with a score of 1) to strongly agree (with a score of 7).;The negative emotions variable. Timepoint: Post-test, pre-test, follow-up test. Method of measurement: Questionnaire: consist of 10 items. In front of each item, there is a range of 5 options from very low (score 1) and very high (score 5), which is ranked by the subject and the range of scores for each subscale is 10 to 50.;The distress tolerance variable. Timepoint: - Pre-test: at the beginning of the study (before the intervention) - Post-test: three months after the intervention - Follow-up test: 2 months after the intervention. Method of measurement: Questionnaire: consist of 15 items and four sub-scales of tolerance (emotional distress tolerance), absorption (absorption of stress by negative emotions), evaluation (mental estimation of distress) and adjustment (adjustment of efforts to relieve distress).

Measure	Time frame
Quality of life variable has 4 subscales and an overall score. These subscales include: physical health, mental health, social relationships, environmental health, and an overall score. Initially, a raw score is obtained for each subscale, which must be converted to a standard score between 0 and 100 through a formula. A higher score indicates a higher quality of life. Timepoint: Second Quarter of 2019. Method of measurement: Questionnaire.	—
