The author presents results from a study by Chung and Hwang (2008) in Figure 9-11. The difference between an experimental and a control group of patients with leukemia was examined. The control group received routine care while the experimental group received two follow-up phone calls after discharge. Which group had a higher level of symptom distress? Was the difference statistically significant? Interpret your conclusion in plain English and discuss a possible explanation for the result.
