Personality characteristics
Personality characteristics were measured at baseline, one
month after admission, and six months after admission.
At admission, the personality characteristics of the two
groups were not statistically different (P > 0.05) (Table 1). In
the control group, personality characteristic scores did not
change over time (P > 0.05). In the intervention group, the
personality characteristic scores were not different between
one month and six months after admission (P > 0.05). However,
the differences between baseline and six months were
significant in this group; specifically, the P scale and E values
were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The changes in
N scale and L scale values over time were not statistically
significant (P > 0.05).
