结局指标
主要结局
Psychosocial Stress (International Measure)
时间窗: 11 weeks
Stress was measured using the Arabic version of the Perceived Stress Scale (Cohen, Karmarck, \& Mermelstein, 1983), validated with a Jordanian sample (Almadi, Cathers, Hamdan Mansour, \& Chow, 2012). This 14-item, 5-point Likert scale measures perceived stress over the last month, with higher scores indicating greater stress. Items include, "How often have you been upset because of something that happened unexpectedly?" and "How often have you been able to control irritations in your life?" (reverse-scored) (1 = Never, 5 = Very often).
Psychosocial Stress: Insecurity (Regional Measure)
时间窗: 11 weeks
Insecurity was measured with The Human Insecurity (HI). This tool was developed for use in the West Bank (Ziadni, Hammoudeh et al. 2011, Hamayel, Ghandour et al. 2014). The 10-item scale is a 5-point Likert scale with scores expressed as percentages on a scale of 0-100. The HI covers issues such as worries regarding inability to obtain daily life necessities, losing a source of income, fears about the future, and family safety.
Psychosocial stress: Distress (Regional Measure)
时间窗: 11 weeks
Distress was measured with the Human Distress scale (Hamayel \& Ghandour, 2014), developed for use with conflict-affected adolescents in the West Bank. The 12-item scale is a 5-point Likert scale with scores expressed as percentages on a scale of 0-100. Sample items include, "To what extent have you felt worried," "To what extent did you feel humiliated," and "To what extent did you feel angry." Scores are presented as percentages (0-100%), with higher scores indicating greater distress.
