Women’s circles as a culturally safe psychosocial intervention in Guatemalan indigenous communities: a community-led pilot randomised trial

Table 4 Secondary analysis: Multiple linear regression models of study arm allocation (intervention vs. control) and psychosocial health scores, adjusted for maternal age, area of residence and baseline score: B = unstandardized coefficient, SE = standard error and sample size (N)

Psychosocial scores ^a	B ± SE	P-value
Psychosocial distress score (HSCL-25) ^b	−1.548 ± 1.418 (118)	0.277
Wellbeing score (MHC-SF)	4.707 ± 1.816 (119)	0.011
Self-efficacy score: Self-care sub-score	0.801 ± 0.415 (116)	0.056
Self-efficacy score: Infant care sub-score	−0.128 ± 0.380 (75)	0.737
Infant stimulation score	0.242 ± 0.395 (74)	0.611

^aIncreases in the HSCL-25, MHC-SF, self-efficacy and infant stimulation scores indicate greater distress, greater wellbeing, greater self-efficacy, and greater maternal engagement in infant stimulation activities, respectively. ^b Depression and anxiety sub-scores with similar findings, namely non-significant association with attendance; data not shown
