Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome of this study is to assess the psychological impact of traditional male roles on married middle-aged men, specifically in relation to their experiences of midlife crisis. This will be measured through responses on the DCQ-12 scale and in-depth qualitative interviews conducted in Phase 2. The outcome will include levels of emotional distress, perceived role burden, emotional suppression, and willingness to seek psychological support. Timepoint: Outcome assessment will occur at two time points. The baseline assessment will take place during Phase 1, where the DCQ-12 will be administered to all eligible participants. The second assessment point will be during Phase 2, approximately 4 to 8 weeks after the initial screening, where selected participants (based on DCQ-12 scores) will undergo an in-depth qualitative interview to further explore their lived experiences of midlife challenges | — |
