Figure 2.
Differences in changes in quality of life and physical and psychological symptoms are presented comparing the self-care management getting better (dashed line) and self-care management getting worse (solid line) trajectories. Differences in the intercept (i) indicate that enrollment values of the self-care management getting better trajectory were higher or lower than the self-care management getting worse trajectory. Differences in the slope (s) indicate that the change over time was different comparing the self-care management getting better trajectory relative to the self-care management getting worse trajectory. A single dagger (†) indicates a significant change from enrollment values and a double dagger (‡) indicates a significant change from three-month values based on paired t-test.
