They were divided into an experimental group and control group, each of which consisted of 10 people.

Afterward, according to the analysis result on Wilcoxon score in the post-test and interview by the experimental group, it was found out that Z score = - 0,609a and p score = 0,542; therefore, p > 0,05.
