  1. n = 28 for each group. Higher scores indicate poorer functioning unless specified otherwise. A r of |.1| is a small effect, |.3| is a medium effect, and |.5| is a large effect [51].
  2. *p-value (one-way) is significant correcting for family-wise error rate (p < .025 for HADS, p < .025 for measures of marital strain, p < .017 for PedsQL FIM, and p < .0125 for POM).
  3. aHigher scores indicate better functioning.
