What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Self-Control Self-Management Scale (SCMS)

    The Self-Control and Self-Management Scale consists of three subscales: self-monitoring, self-evaluation and self-reinforcement. It is a 6-point Likert-type scale consisting of 16 items (0= Does not define me at all, 5= Defines me completely).

    Measured: pre-treatment and post-treatment up to 8-weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ)

    The five-point Likert-type scale (1 = not at all suitable for me, 2 = somewhat suitable for me, 3 = partially suitable for me, 4 = very suitable for me, 5 = completely suitable for me) consists of a total of 36 items. It consists of nine sub-dimensions: self-blame, acceptance, rumination, positive refocusing, refocus on planning, positive reappraisal, putting into perspective, catastrophizing, and other-blame.

    Measured: pre-treatment and post-treatment up to 8-weeks

  2. The Occupational Balance Questionnaire (OBQ)

    In 2019, Günal et al. conducted a validity and reliability study of the 11-item revised version of the questionnaire in Turkish. The scale consists of four response categories (strongly disagree, disagree, agree, strongly agree), with each item being assigned a value between 0 and 3 points. The sum of the individual items results in a score between 0 and 33.

    Measured: pre-treatment and post-treatment up to 8-weeks
