Results from four randomised control trials (RCTs) are reported and used to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, acceptability and tango compliance. The intensity and frequency of the sessions was varied across the trials. Method: The outcome measures included three or more of the following: depression, anxiety, stress, insomnia and fatigue, mindfulness, self-efficacy, satisfaction with life and self-esteem. These measures were assessed in each trial at pre-, post- intervention, and in addition, at 1-month follow-up for Trial 2 and Trial 3. | Publication Type: | Thesis Doctoral | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 170106 Health, Clinical and Counselling Psychology | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 520304 Health psychology 520302 Clinical psychology 520302 Clinical psychology |
