Primary outcomes

  1. Change in State-Anxiety Inventory-5 questionnaire

    The State-Anxiety Inventory-5 each consists of 5 items. The scale items are scored on a 4-point Likert scale of 1 to 4 (1= Not at all, 2= Somewhat, 3= Moderately so, 4= Very much so). Higher scores indicate greater anxiety.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in Mindfulness Interoception measured by Likert scale

    Time frame: Baseline, 2 weeks

    The scale items are scored on a 4-point Likert scale of 1 to 4 (1= Not at all, 2= Somewhat, 3= Moderately so, 4= Very much so). A higher score suggests higher mindful interoception skills.
