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

Table 5 Secondary analysis: Multiple linear regression models of number of sessions attended (0 to 10) and the psychosocial health scores, among mothers in the intervention arm, 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 (N)	P-value
Psychosocial distress score (HSCL-25) ^b	0.225 ± 0.242 (66)	0.358
Wellbeing score (MHC-SF)	0.819 ± 0.294 (66)	0.007
Self-efficacy score: Self-care sub-score	0.202 ± 0.080 (66)	0.014
Self-efficacy score: Infant care sub-score	0.141 ± 0.067 (47)	0.043
Infant stimulation score	0.165 ± 0.068 (46)	0.019

^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
