For applicants who meet the eligibility criteria and are enrolled in the study, background information including the caregiver's sex and age, as well as the sex and age of the target child, will be collected.
Thereafter, participants will complete psychological scales and other questionnaires using Google Forms at three time points: before the intervention (video viewing) begins (Pre), at the end of the intervention period (Post), and two weeks after the end of the intervention period (Follow-up).
During the study period, information sharing with participants, including communication, guidance, and handling inquiries, will be conducted through a study-specific LINE group.
