Participants were divided into two groups, the control and the intervention group for which the BRRT intervention was administered. Utilising an online questionnaire, the QOL was assessed among the two groups, before and 2\u2009months after the intervention, using the Arabic version of the short form 36-item health survey.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>After 2\u2009months of the intervention, the intervention group exhibited significantly higher levels in both components of QOL; physical (<jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>(143.31)=15.35, p&lt;0.001); and mental component (<jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>(143.58)=12.35, p&lt;0.001).
