What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change of Emotional Outcome
Time Frame: Baseline (before the intervention), 1 day after the intervention and three months after the intervention
|
For the assessment of emotional wellbeing, fear, and burden during the pandemic we will use the emotional scale which measure feelings including emotional wellbeing, fear, and burden. Since it is often hard for children to describe their own feelings with words, we will use the emotional scales of Gräßler and colleagues. These scales use child-friendly illustrated pictures and can be used to support the children in naming their feelings including emotional wellbeing, fear, and burden. |
Baseline (before the intervention), 1 day after the intervention and three months after the intervention
|
Change of Knowledge Outcome
Time Frame: Baseline (before the intervention), 1 day after the intervention and three months after the intervention
|
The corona quiz consists of a 18-item questionnaire and covers theoretical and practical knowledge.
Content validity of the knowledge test was reviewed by an expert panel consisting of three psychologists with expertise in children health, one kindergarten teacher, and one pediatrician.
|
Baseline (before the intervention), 1 day after the intervention and three months after the intervention

Baseline Behavior of the Participants
Time Frame: Baseline (before the intervention)
|
Behavior will be assessed by using the parent and teacher reported Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL).
The CBCL is a questionnaire for parents and teachers revealing behavioral problems of children and adolescents.
In the CBCL/1.5-5,
two evaluation methods are available.
In the first evaluation method, questions are grouped in seven empirically based problem scales including emotionally reactive, anxious/depressed, aggressive behavior, attention problems, somatic complaints, sleep problems, and withdrawn.
