Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Trait Coping Style Questionnaire [One week before the intervention and one week after the intervention]
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.
- Illness Cognition Questionnaire-Parent version [One week before the intervention and one week after the intervention]
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
- Depression Anxiety Stress Scales [One week before the intervention and one week after the intervention]
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.
- Guilt about Parenting Scale [One week before the intervention and one week after the intervention]
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
