Adherence
Among
the 38 participants in the intervention group, 2 withdrew after the
first session
due
to a loss of interest. At the end of the study, there were 36 active
participants, and the average number of sessions attended was 5.89±2.15
(ranging from 4 to 8). Reasons for absence included illness, working
overtime, and caring for family
members.
One month into the follow-up, three participants from the intervention
group did not respond to the final questionnaire, while 33 participants
from the comparison group completed all three assessments.
