- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The main question of this study is whether children who experienced interparental violence benefit from participating in ?En nu ik?!? in terms of a stronger decrease in posttraumatic stress symptoms (TSCYC, TSCC), in externalizing behavior problems and in internalizing behavior problems (CBCL, CDI) after participating in the intervention program compared to children participating in the control program.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Hypothesized mediators are parent-child interaction (FIT, AEED, DAI), feelings of emotional security within the family (SIFS: secure), coping skills (HICUPS), feelings of guilt (CERQ-k: self-blame) and the ability to differentiate and express emotions (EAQ: differentiating emotions). Posttraumatic stress symptoms of the parent (IES-R) and the child (TSCYC, TSCC), psychopathology of the parent (HADS), duration and severity of the interparental violence (CTS2, CTS-PC), parenting stress (NOSI-k) and demographics are examined for their moderating role. Control variables are new potential stressful or traumatic experiences and treatment integrity.
