As follows, the Cattell Anxiety Scale was administered to measure the level of anxiety for both experimental and control group. The statistical method for analyzing data was ANOVA.
Results: The results indicated significant differences between experimental and control group after receiving problem solving training by experimental group (p< 0.001).
