Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Transmitted Psychological Trauma Scale

The scale consists of 19 items and three subscales: family functioning (3 items), past family trauma (5 items), and emotion and behavior regulation (11 items). Two items (items 3 and 5) in the scale are reverse scored. Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). Total scores range from 19 to 95, with higher scores indicating a greater likelihood of transmitted psychological trauma.

Time frame
Baseline, immediately post-intervention, and 1 month post-intervention

Secondary outcomes

1

Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale - Short Form (DERS-16)

The scale consists of 16 items and five subscales: clarity, goals, impulse, strategies, and non-acceptance. The scale items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 (Almost never) to 5 (Almost always), with total scores ranging from 16 to 80. Higher scores indicate greater difficulty in emotion regulation.

Time frame
