Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Perceived stress score, measured using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) developed by Cohen et al. Timepoint: Perceived stress will be measured at baseline (prior to the intervention) and four weeks after the initiation of the Buteyko breathing technique. Method of measurement: Cohen et al.'s Perceived Stress Questionnaire.;Pain management score. Timepoint: At the beginning of each session, prior to the exercises, and at the end of each session. Method of measurement: Milzak Visual Analogue Pain Scale.;Respiratory function score. Timepoint: At the beginning of each session, prior to the exercises, and at the end of each session. Method of measurement: Breathing function test. | — |
