Table 2

Scores of depression and anxiety measured by BDI and BAI of familial caregivers of Alzheimer’s disease patients before and after intervention.

BDI
Control group	14.7 (±9.5)	16.1 (±10.2)	16.5	2.0	34.7
YCMP group	16.0 (±7.8)	8.2 (±4.6)^*&	𝑃<0.001	𝑃=0.16	𝑃<0.000001

YCMP group	17.6 (±9.4)	8.7 (±5.5)^*&	𝑃<0.001	𝑃<0.001	𝑃<0.00001

Data are described as the mean (±standard deviation); ^∗𝑃<0.001 differs from the time point before the intervention in the corresponding group—Tukey’s test; ^&𝑃<0.001 differs from the control group in the corresponding time point—Tukey’s test.
