| The patient scores on the Spielberger Anxiety Inventory in the range of 160-40. Timepoint: It is before the intervention and two months after the end of the intervention. Method of measurement: The questionnaire has 40 items with the lowest and highest scores equal to 40 and 160, respectively. At the Anxiety Scale, the main goal is to measure anxiety from low to high. That is, low scores indicate calmness, moderate scores indicate moderate levels of stress and anxiety, and high scores reflect intense fear, close to panic. In response to these substances, subjects show the intensity of their emotion on a 4-point scale (basically, somewhat, moderately, and very much) at a specific time. In response to the anxiety trait, subjects on a 4-point scale (never, sometimes, often, and always) show how they generally feel.;The patient scores the Bass and Perry Aggression Questionnaire in the range of 145-29. Timepoint: It is before the intervention and two months after the end of the intervention. Method of measurement: This questionnaire has 29 questions and evaluates four aspects of aggression. Questions 1,5,9,13,17,21,24,26,28 related to physical aggression and questions 6,2,10,14,18 related to verbal aggression, questions 3, 7,11,15,19,22, 29 related They show hostility to anger and questions 4,8,12,16,20,23,25,27. Scoring: For each question, there are five options to answer as follows: It is completely contrary to my characteristics (score 1); Is somewhat contrary to my characteristics (score 2); Only slightly expresses my characteristics (score 3); It is somewhat indicative of my characteristics (score 4); It is quite telling of my characteristics (score 5) that the score of questions 24 and 29 is inverse. The scores of the subscales are obtained by summing the scores of the questions of that subscale. The total score is the sum of the total scores of the questions and its range is from 29 to 145.
