German term or phrase: häusliche Strukturen
Ich bin auf der Suche nach einer Entsprechung für "häusliche Strukturen". Scheinbar bedeutet "domestic structures" was anderes (keine Validierung in diesem Kontext möglich!). Es geht darum, dass die Patientin eine gewisse Struktur im Alltag hat, eine Routine. Es soll erzielt werden, dass die Patientin (Aktivität- und Aufmerksamkeitsstörung) die Aufgaben des täglichen Lebens gut bewältigt, in der richtigen Reihenfolge, sich nicht verzettelt und so weiter.

Hier der Kontext:

"Im Rahmen der verhaltenstherapeutischen Behandlung wurde an der Selbststrukturierungsfähigkeit der Patientin und der Verbesserung der häuslichen Strukturen gearbeitet."

daily routines
Explanation:
routine is a series of habits. If you've got a good routine set up--say a morning routine of breakfast-exercise-shower-dress-commute, you've freed yourself from a lot of small decisions that could slow you down or capture valuable brain-space that you'd prefer to use for something else. You can now go on autopilot and still accomplish your goals. In this way, paradoxically, a good routine can be freeing. No need for constant decision-making about what's coming next or what you should do. You're gonna brush your teeth before you leave the house, and that's that!

Along with your routines, maybe you have a ritual--a routine to which you've attached some meaning. Many people, for example, might meditate, exercise, or pray as a daily ritual to remind them to be present, be grateful, or for simple restoration after a stressful day. If a ritual like this is part of your routine, you've taken a giant step toward good self-care.

Of course, an unhealthy routine--stay up too late, press snooze button 5 times, think about what to wear, shower, think some more about what to wear, get dressed, skip breakfast because you must get going--slows you down, is hazardous to your health, and wears you out before you can even begin. Many addicts have negative rituals surrounding their drug use or cutting; they find false comfort in a series of familiar acts that disguise the treacherous nature of their habits.

since Hygiene is concerned as well, I would say "daily domestic tasks´plan, schedule or structure"

Notes to answerer
Asker: I am not sure household chores covers everything. Hygiene habits like brushing the teeth are not household cores but pertain to "häusliche Strukturen".
