结局指标
主要结局
Children's Hope Scale scores
时间窗: up to 6 weeks
The Children's Hope Scale (CHS) is self-report measure of children's perceptions that their goals can be met. The CHS consists of six items that are hypothesized to relate to the two underlying factors of agency and pathways. Adding the response values for pathway questions will provide a pathway score ranging from 2-12; higher scores reflect higher pathways thinking. Adding the response values for agency questions will provide an agency score ranging from 2-12; higher scores reflect higher agency thinking. Adding pathway and agency scores will provide an overall hope score (i.e., level of hope). Scores of 4-8 indicate no to very low hope, 9-12 indicate slightly hopeful, 13-16 indicate moderately hopeful, and 17-24 indicates highly hopeful.
