Table 5.3 shows that the SOC score of all participants increase from pre-test to post-
test, and that follow-up scores of all participants are also higher than their pre-test
scores.
Fig. 5.8 shows the scores of the six participants and the mean at pre-test, post-test and
follow-up in a graphic format, while fig. 5.10-5.12 shows the scores as distributed in
the three subscales: Meaningfulness, Manageability, and Comprehensibility.

Fig. 5.8 shows that the scores of all six participants increased from pre-test to post-
test, three of them (WIFU, ESMA, ANHO) markedly, the other three (INLA, PIJØ,
SAAA) only marginally. In other words, the participants fall into two groups, one
with a high increase from pre-test to post-test, and one, which is stable. From post-test
to follow up there is a further increase in the score of one participant (WIFU) while
the scores of the other five participants decrease, however, all follow-up scores are
higher than pre-test scores. The differences are expressed by the standard deviations:
20.8 at pre-test, 17.4 at post-test and 23.2 at follow-up. The pre-test-scores of INLA,
PIJØ and ESMA were close to average, while ANHOs were low, SAAAs and WIFU
high, as compared to healthy reference groups, as shown in fig. 5.9.
