Methods
SSNS, DT-P
To assess distress, the Distress Thermometer for Parents (DT-P) was used, which includes questions on distress (thermometer score 0–10, ≥ 4 “clinical distress”) and presence of everyday problems in six domains: practical, social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and parenting. The DT-P was completed 4 weeks after the onset of SSNS. Total sum and individual items of everyday problems were compared with reference data from mothers and fathers of the Dutch general population.
