Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate the effectiveness of the parent program, families participate in five online surveys: 1) at the inpatient admission (T0: baseline), 2) at the inpatient discharge (T1), 3) one month (T2), 4) three months (T3: primary comparison point) and 5) six months (T4) after discharge. To assess the impact of parenting a child with chronic pain, the „The Bath Adolescent Pain – Parental Impact Questionnaire (BAP-PIQ)” (Jordan et al., 2008) was translated into the German language in accordance with scientific standards (for overview see Beaton et al., 2000) and validated multicentrically by a sample of N = 517 parents of children with chronic pain. On this basis, a German short version was created. The German short version of the BAP-PIQ is used for the assessment of the impact of parenting a child with chronic pain. The subscale „support of passive pain management“ at T3 serves as the primary endpoint. The German short version of the BAP-PIQ, including the subscale „support of passive pain management“ is assessed digitally on each of the five time points (T0-T4). | — |
