T1 = week 4; T2 = week 8 post-intervention; T3 = week 12 follow-up. Positive Cohen's d values indicate a favorable outcome for the intervention group on anxiety outcomes (lower scores), whereas negative values indicate a favorable outcome for the intervention group on self-efficacy and mindfulness outcomes (higher scores).
