Problem solving is recognized as a skill, helping families of children with
disabilities to manage problems in everyday life. Family problem-solving skills
may therefore be seen as an important outcome of a child and youth habilitation
service. The aim of this pilot feasibility study was to examine the design of a
future web-based questionnaire study focusing on problem-solving patterns in
relation to resources in families of children with disabilities.
The descriptive
statistical analyses built on data from 13 families and findings showed an
overall satisfactory score distribution for three of the included instruments,
whereas two instruments showed floor effects in one third of the items. Findings
indicated design problems with data collection related to adapting questionnaires
to a web-based survey format and to problems with the stop function that was
added. Implementing the main study using web-based surveys needs critical
considerations according to the choice of the web tool and the recruitment
process.
