In the intervention group, severe stress was high at pre-test (89.3%), but after the program all parents reported only mild stress (100%). In contrast, the control group remained predominantly in the severe stress range at both pre-test and post-test (92.9%). There was a significant difference in the average reduction of parental stress between the experimental and control groups following the modified COPE program intervention, as measured by the Mann–Whitney test.
