	Gender		^a+	value^a	Degree of freedom^a	Level of significance (2 tailed)^a	Confidence interval (CI 95%)
Stress	Male	112.00		0.57	208.00	0.57	0.34 (-0.84-1.53)
	Female	98.00		0.57	199.70	0.57	0.34 (-0.85-1.54)
Anxiety	Male	112.00		0.89	208.00	0.38	0.54 (-0.66-1.73)
	Female	98.00		0.89	202.94	0.38	0.54 (-0.66-1.74)
Depression	Male	112.00		0.76	208.00	0.45	0.49 (-0.79-1.77)
	Female	98.00		0.75	193.93	0.45	0.49 (-0.80-1.78)

^aSD = standard deviation; ^bCI = confidence interval; = number of responses for the specific variable. Note: independent -test was applied to find the association between the gender of dengue patients and depression, anxiety, and stress.
