Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome is the change in the communication pattern between the separated parents at the time of post measurement (t2). The time (t1) is after the first face-to-face consultation. The point in time (t2) is after the third face-to-face consultation. The time between t1 and t2 can be between one and three months, depending on the case. The communication patterns are measured with the FPK (partnership communication pattern). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary outcomes are the subjective well-being of the separated parents, the usability of the app and the behavior of the children from the perspective of the separated parents. The measured values are collected using self-report-based questionnaires (well-being (WHO), User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ), Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL / 6-18R)) at times t1 and t2. The usability of the app is only recorded at time t2. The time (t1) is after the first face-to-face consultation. The point in time (t2) is after the third face-to-face consultation. In addition, adherence and satisfaction to the intervention, the reasons for dropping out and any technical problems that arise are evaluated. This is done by the counselors in the form of summative written feedback on each parted separation couple. | — |
