Results

Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale

Significant gains were made on the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) from pre to post intervention. Participants experienced a decrease in difficulties regulating emotions moving from an average score of 118.3 (SD = 18.87) on the DERS pre to 97.17 (SD = 24.0) post completion of the programme, t (22) = 5.07, p < .001. This change represented a large effect size (Cohen’s d = 1.05). See graph below for visual representation.

Note: Higher scores indicate greater difficulties with emotion regulation

Distress Tolerance Scale

Participants also experienced a significant increase in distress tolerance moving from a mean total score of 1.69 (SD = .71) before the programme on the DTS to 2.31 (SD = .87) after completing the programme, z = 3.153, p < .01, representing a medium effect size (r = .44).

The DTS comprises of 4 subscales assessing tolerance, absorption, appraisal and regulation. There were statistically significant differences identified between pre and post intervention on the absorption, appraisal and regulation subscales. There was a change in the intended direction on the tolerance subscale; however this change was not statistically significant. These results indicate that participants’ distress tolerance increased post-programme as expected. The differences between pre and post intervention subscale scores are represented in the graphs below.

Cognitive and Affective Mindfulness Scale

Participants also had greater mindful qualities post intervention moving from a mean score of 17.3 (SD = 3.86) before the programme on the CAMS-R to 21.8 (SD = 4.08) after completing the programme, z = 4.27, p < .001, representing a large effect size (r= .55).
