Validation of Rosenberg self-esteem scale among Norwegian adolescents – psychometric properties across samples
The psychometric properties of the RSES need to be further evaluated in Norwegian adolescent populations based on the dimensionality found in the present study; however overall, the results indicate that the instrument is appropriate for assessing self-esteem among Norwegian adolescents
Existential loneliness and meaning-in-life in the lived experience of nursing home residents
This study expands our understanding of how existential loneliness and meaning-in-life might be connected in the lived experience of nursing home residents. A secondary analysis of interviews with nursing home residents ( n = 8) was conducted. The analysis starts inductively using template analysis, and ends deductively, with a theoretical framework guiding the process. Existential loneliness and meaning-in-life are prominent in nursing home resi…
Salutogenic nursing home care
The nursing home (NH) population is characterized by a high symptom burden resulting from chronic illnesses and functional impairments that cannot be cured. Most long-term NH residents are in the last phase of life and in need of palliative care. Hence, health and wellbeing are important aims of salutogenic NH care, which includes more than the treatment of residents’ diseases and symptoms. Research shows that cognitively intact long-term NH resi…
Nursing Homes as a Context of Pastoral Care
Earlier studies indicate that moving into a nursing home raises a variety of existential concerns for older adults. Yet less is known about how nursing home chaplains experience caring for these individuals. Based on an interpretative phenomenological analysis, the article examines how chaplains perceive their role in caring for older people in nursing homes who are experiencing meaninglessness and/or existential loneliness. Particularly, we anal…
Development and psychometric testing of the ‘Mindful Breastfeeding Scale’ (MINDF-BFS) among postpartum women in Turkey

In the last decade, there has been a renewed interdisciplinary interest in the study of existential loneliness (EL) or existential isolation (EI). However, to date, there is still no consensus in the literature on what exactly EL/EI is and how should be measured, resulting in a wide variety of definitions and operationalizations of the experience. Therefore, this scoping review provides an overview of the available terminology, definitions, and o…
The Association Between School Stress, Life Satisfaction and Depressive Symptoms in Adolescents
Stressor experience negatively affects life satisfaction in adolescents
Aspiration Index in Vocational Students – Dimensionality, Reliability, and Construct Validity
The self-determination theory (SDT) distinguishes between intrinsic and extrinsic aspirations or life goals, which tend to fall into two separate constructs. The pursuit of intrinsic goals, relative to extrinsic ones, is associated with numerous cognitive, affective and behavioural outcomes that are considered to be positive for individuals as well as for society such as, for example, students’ school persistence. Developed by SDT researchers, th…
