Access to Supportive Care Among Australian Cancer Carers
Home caregiving, early learning and the development of preschool-aged children in Vanuatu
Optimal early childhood development (ECD) is foundational for lifelong learning, health, and wellbeing. As children spend most of their early years at home, this setting represents a modifiable environment for enhancing ECD. As yet, there is little ECD research in Vanuatu. The first aim was to determine the proportion of children aged 24–59 months who are developmentally on track and the distributions of home responsive caregiving, early learning…
Validation of the trait emotional intelligence questionnaire – Adolescent short form (Teique-ASF) among adolescents in Vietnam
