Outcome
Family
distress.
The
Brief
Family
Distress
Scale
(Weiss
&
Lunsky,
2011)
was
administered
to
assess
the
current
level
of
family
distress.
Parents
are
asked
to
select
one
of
ten
statements
that
best
represents
where
they
and
their
family
are
in
terms
of
crisis.
Each
statement
corresponds
with
a
point
on
a
continuum
with
1
being
‘‘everything
is
fine,
my
family
and
I
are
not
in
crisis
at
all’’
and
10
being
‘‘we
are
currently
in
crisis,
and
it
could
not
get
any
worse’’.
The
frequency
was
normally
distributed
around
a
mean
of
4.23
(SD
=
1.59),
and
median
of
4
(‘‘Things
are
often
stressful,
but
we
are
managing
to
deal
with
problems
when
they
arise’’).
A
small
number
of
parents
reported
being
near
crisis
with
a
rating
of
6
or
7
(8.6%;
‘‘We
have
to
work
extremely
hard
every
moment
of
every
day
to
avoid
having
a
crisis’’
or
‘‘We
won’t
be
able
to
handle
things
soon.
If
one
more
thing
goes
wrong
–
we
will
be
in
crisis’’)
or
in
crisis,
with
a
rating
of
8
or
above
(5%).
