Findings: The results of multivariate analysis of covariance test show that there is a significant difference between the mean scores of depression and anxiety in the experimental and control groups (P<0.01). The results of Bonferroni test shows that there is meaningful difference between the mean scores of depression and anxiety in the experimental and control groups (P<0/01).
