Subclaims¶

q2 i? Mothers in the experimental group showed a non-significant decrease in EPDS scores after the intervention (z=1.90, p>.05). → Pınar Bulut & Yaşar Barut 2016 q2 i? Mothers in the control group showed no significant pre-post difference (z=.26, p>.05). → Pınar Bulut & Yaşar Barut 2016 (2)

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test for mothers in the experimental group (n=6); decrease observed but not statistically significant, z=1.90, p>.05, no effect size printed.

"although there was a decrease in the scores of the mothers in the experimental group after the orientation interviews, this decrease was not statistically significant ( z=1.90, p>.05)"

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test for mothers in the control group (n=7); no significant pre-post difference, z=.26, p>.05.

"Similarly, there was no significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores of the mothers in the control group ( z=.26, p> .05)."
