Four sessions, each 60 minutes, was performed twice a week. After one month after the last training session, self-questionnaires were completed by both experimental and control groups. Data were collected from both groups using the Sherer General Self-Efficacy Questionnaire. Data were analyzed with SPSS/16 using descriptive statistics, independent t and paired t tests.

There were no significant differences between the mean scores of self-efficacy of experimental and control groups before and after the intervention.
