Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale-Brief Form (DERS-16) — Change from baseline in the mean emotion regulation difficulties scores at the 1st-month follow-up and the 3rd-month follow-up. (baseline, 1st month follow-up, 3rd month follow-up)
  The scale is a 16-item self-report measure, developed by Bjureberg et al. (2016). DERS-16 is used to evaluate various aspects of emotion regulation difficulties. It comprises five subscales, namely Clarity (e.g., "I have difficulty making sense of my feelings"), Goals (e.g., "When I'm upset, I have difficulty getting work done"), Impulse (e.g., "When I'm upset, I feel out of control"), Strategies (e.g., "When I'm upset, I start to feel very bad about myself"), and Non-acceptance (e.g., "When I'm upset, I feel like I am weak"). The items in DERS-16 are rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (almost never) to 5 (almost always). Higher scores indicate greater emotion dysregulation. There are no reverse-coded items in the scale.
