Health-Related Quality of Life Among Unaccompanied Refugee Minors Settled in a Norwegian Municipality
The study aimed to examine health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in a group of unaccompanied refugee minors (URMs) and to investigate associations between HRQoL and potential risk and protective factors. The sample includes 79 URMs aged 15 to 20 (83.3% male; 80% response rate) who responded to the KIDSCREEN-27 as a measure of HRQoL. URMs reported lower scores on the HRQoL Index (d = 0.5), physical well-being (d = 0.8), psychological well-being (…

The LongSTEP approach: Theoretical framework and intervention protocol for using parent-driven infant-directed singing as resource-oriented music therapy
Introduction Despite medical advances, preterm birth and neonatal intensive care (NICU) hospitalization are demanding and pose risks for infants and parents. Various music therapy (MT) models have suggested parental singing to promote healthy bonding and development in premature infants, but evidence on long-term effects is lacking.Method We present the theoretical framework and intervention protocol of a resource-oriented MT approach for prematu…
