Summary

The purpose of this study is to develop a brief, self-guided single-session intervention (SSI) that targets the development of, or increase in, hope, and pilot test it for the primary outcomes of feasibility, acceptability/likeability, safety, and changes in hope, and the secondary outcomes of self-worth, empowerment, and emotional wellbeing among women experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV). The study will be conducted in 2 stages: intervention development (Intervention Development Stage), and pilot testing the intervention (Pilot Stage). The focus of this registration is the Pilot Stage.

Detailed description

This study aims to accomplish two primary objectives: Objective 1 (Intervention Development Stage): Develop a brief, self-guided SSI to enhance hope and in turn, self-worth, empowerment, and emotional wellbeing, and Objective 2 (Pilot Stage): Pilot test the intervention and evaluate the process of implementation and primary outcomes of feasibility, acceptability/likability, and safety; and to assess changes in hope and secondary outcomes of self-worth, empowerment, and emotional wellbeing. The Pilot Stage will utilize micro-longitudinal methods (i.e., daily self-reports of hope, self-worth, empowerment, and emotional wellbeing for 14 days before and after the intervention) to assess changes in these constructs. Eligible participants will take part in a baseline interview with a member of the research team. Baseline measures will be based on participant self-report and used to characterize the sample and collect data on person-level control variables. Beginning the day after the baseline interview, participants will complete a brief daily survey on their smartphone. On day 15, participants will receive a link to the SSI and be asked to complete it that day; immediately following the SSI, participants will be asked to complete the post-intervention survey/process supplement to aid in the process evaluation. After completion of the SSI, survivors will participate in 14 additional days of daily data collection to establish post-intervention outcome measures.
