      <i>Objective</i>: Physical activity contributes to prevent serious diseases and ailments, and previous research indicates that lifestyle habits are likely to track from early childhood to adulthood. 90% of Norwegian children aged 1–5 are enrolled in preschools, and preschool staff can play an important role in children’s activity levels. This study’s aim was to identify whether any associations ...

    • Emotion regulation and its relation to symptoms of anxiety and depression in children aged 8–12 years: does parental gender play a differentiating role? 

      Løvaas, Mona Elisabeth S; Sund, Anne Mari; Patras, Joshua; Martinsen, Kristin Dagmar; Hjemdal, Odin; Neumer, Simon-Peter; Holen, Solveig; Reinfjell, Trude (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-08-20)
      <i>Background</i>: Symptoms of anxiety and depression are prevalent and highly comorbid in children, contributing to considerable impairment even at a subclinical level. Difficulties with emotion regulation are potentially related to both anxious and depressive symptoms. Research looking at maternal contributions to children’s mental health dominates the literature but ignores the potentially important ...

      Sørlie, Tore; Hansen, Ketil Lenert; Friborg, Oddgeir (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-05)
      The Western culturally developed Hopkins Symptom Checklist (HSCL-10) is a self-report measure of mental distress widely used for both clinical and epidemiological purposes – also in the multiethnic epidemiological SAMINOR studies in Northern Norway, but without any proper cross-cultural validation. Our objective was to test invariance of the HSCL-10 measurements among Sami and the non-indigenous ...

      <p><i>Introduction</i>: Psykisk helsearbeid med voksne pasienter må også handle om barna deres. Det høres så enkelt ut – hvorfor er det ikke det?</p> <p>Jeg har jobbet med temaet barn som pårørende i tiår nå. I løpet av de ti årene har det skjedd mye, og samtidig ganske lite. La meg starte med å si litt om hva vi mener med barn som pårørende. Dersom du har jobbet i helsesektoren i de siste årene, ...
    • Children’s relationships with birth parents in childhood and adulthood: A qualitative longitudinal study of kinship care 

      Skoglund, Jeanette; Thørnblad, Renee; Holtan, Amy (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-27)
      The topic of interest in this paper is the relationship between children who live in kinship care and their birth parents – through childhood and adulthood. The focus is on what <i>meaning</i> and <i>content</i> children themselves ascribe to such relationships and how this changes over time. To explore this question, we draw on a qualitative longitudinal data set, in which children who grew up in ...
    • Behandling av utagerende ungdommer på barnevernsinstitusjoner 2 år etter inntak – evaluering av behandlingsmodellen MultifunC 

      Fossum, Sturla; Babaii, Aida; Handegård, Bjørn Helge (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2018)
      Studien viser at MultifunC-behandling er kortere enn andre behandlingstiltak på barnevernsinstitusjoner og at flere av ungdommene var hjemme igjen ett år etter inntak på institusjonene. Tross forskjellen i behandlingstid var det ingen forskjeller i bruk av rusmidler, utagerende og regelbrytende atferd. Det var gunstige reduksjoner i denne typen atferd i begge behandlingstypene som ble sammenlignet. ...
    • The Influence of Military Identity on Work Engagement and Burnout in the Norwegian Army Rapid Reaction Force 

      Johansen, Rino Bandlitz; Martinussen, Monica; Kvilvang, Nils (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      The present study examined the influence of military identity on work engagement and burnout among members in the Norwegian Army Rapid Reaction Forces (RRF). Hierarchical regression analyses found work engagement to be predicted by military identity (positively so by professionalism, and negatively by individualism), with individualism also predicting burnout. This is the first study to examine the ...

Based on this knowledge, the Norwegian health legislation has been amended to better identify and protect children of parents with a mental illness. In this project, two interventions were implemented in a regional clinic for adult mental health services. ...
    • Do frequency of visits with birth parents impact children’s mental health and parental stress in stable foster care settings 

      Fossum, Sturla; Vis, Svein Arild Myhra; Holtan, Amy (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-13)
      This article explores whether the number of visits by birth parents influence perceptions of attachment, children’s competence and mental health, and stress levels in foster parents. Foster parents acted as informants regarding 203 children living in kinship and non-kinship foster care. The children were young when placed in foster care, on average 2.3 years old (SD = 1.0) and had been living in the ...
    • Måleegenskaper ved den norske versjonen av Sense of Coherence [SOC-13] 

      Kaiser, Sabine; Strøm, Henriette Kyrrestad (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-24)
      Sense of Coherence (SOC)/Opplevelse av sammenheng ble utviklet av Antonovsky (1987) og består i originalversjonene av 29 spørsmål (SOC-29) og i en forkortet versjon av 13 spørsmål (SOC-13). SOC-13 er oversatt til norsk og alderstilpasset til barn og unge av Torsheim og Wold i 1998. Det foreligger ikke en norsk versjon av SOC-29 og denne artikkelen handler derfor kun om SOC-13. Det finnes rettighetshavere ...
