Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

  • Trait Coping Style Questionnaire

    The questionnaire consists of 2 dimensions (positive coping and negative coping), with 10 entries in each dimension, using a 5-level rating (1 being definitely no, 5 being definitely yes). The higher the positive coping score, the more positive, and the higher the negative coping score, the more negative.

    One week before the intervention and one week after the intervention

  • Illness Cognition Questionnaire-Parent version

    The scale includes three dimensions: helplessness, acceptance and perceived benefit, among which acceptance and perceived benefit belong to positive cognition, while helplessness belongs to negative cognition. Likert 1 to 4 scoring method was adopted for each item, and the 3 dimensions were scored respectively. The score range of each dimension was 6 to 24 points. The higher the score, the stronger the condition of the corresponding dimension, and the score of each dimension was not cumulative

    One week before the intervention and one week after the intervention

  • Depression Anxiety Stress Scales

    There are 21 entries in total, 7 entries each for depression, anxiety and stress subscales. This scale is a 4-point Likert self-scoring scale, and the score of each question is between 0 and 3 points, "0" means "never", "1" means "sometimes", "2" means "often", and "3" means "always". The total score of each subscale multiplied by 2 is the final score. The higher the score, the more intense the negative emotional experience.

    One week before the intervention and one week after the intervention

  • Guilt about Parenting Scale

    The scale is a single dimension scale with 10 items. All of them adopted the 7-point scoring method, and were assigned 1-7 points from completely non-conforming to completely conforming. The total score is 10 to 70, the higher the score, the higher the level of parenting guilt of the subject

    One week before the intervention and one week after the intervention

  • Beach Center Family Quality of Life Scale

    The scale included 25 items in 5 dimensions, including family interaction (6 items), parenting (6 items), emotional health (4 items), physical/material welfare (5 items) and support related to disability (4 items). Likert5-level scores were used, from "very dissatisfied" to "very satisfied", 1-5 points were assigned, with a total score of 25 to 125 points. The higher the score, the more satisfied the individual was with the quality of family life.
