Status Enrolling by invitation

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the study is to augment knowledge on interventions for children who live, or have lived, in shelters after exposure to domestic violence. Research questions concern the feasibility of a music group intervention for children. The experiences of children, caregivers, and professionals will be investigated. Additionally, outcomes concerning emotional reactivity, capacity for emotional regulation, quality of life, and psychological health will be evaluated.

Clinical Trial Description

Research problem and specific questions The project uses a mixed methods design in a naturalistic setting. Qualitative data concerning how children, caregivers and professionals experience the intervention and quantitative data concerning practical feasibility, adaptions made, and children's reported psychological health and quality of life will be studied. Data will be collected through questionnaires, log-forms, evaluation forms, and interviews with children, parents, and professionals. Thematic analysis and Interpretative phenomenological analysis will be used for qualitative data. Descriptive statistics and non-parametric methods will be used as applicable for quantitative data. Plan for project realization The music group intervention will be offered to children 3-10 years, who live or have lived at a shelter. In all 12 groups with 4-8 children in each (48-96 children) will be realized. Collaboration with 2-3 shelters is established. Questionnaires designed to measure psychological health, health-related quality of life, emotion reactivity, and capacity for emotional regulation will be administrated to caregivers pre- and post-intervention. A log-form will be filled out by professionals after each group session. Evaluation forms will be administrated to children, caregivers, and professionals after completing the intervention. Qualitative interviews focusing on feasibility, acceptance, and experiences of the intervention will be carried through with children, caregivers and professionals post intervention. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
