A one-way multivariate analysis of variance, with post hoc Bonferroni-corrected tests, was conducted to assess the impact of depression symptoms on coping strategies and personality traits. A total of 89 individuals (56.2% females) were included with a mean age of 46.6±15.1 years and a mean Glasgow Coma Scale score of 13.2±3.4. Over...Continue Reading
