Detailed Description

The study employed a quasi-randomized controlled trial design conducted over 12 weeks.

The wards were then randomly divided into intervention wards and control wards using a random number generator. Patients were recruited to the control group (e-health only) in the control ward and the intervention group (growth mindset intervention+ e-health) in the intervention unit. Participants in the control group could undergo the training after the study concluded.
