    Psychometric evaluation of the Making it CLEAR questionnaire, a resilience measure for older adults
    (Oxford University Press, 2021-09-28) Whitehall, Lucy; Górska, Sylwia; Rush, Robert; Singh Roy, Anusua; Irvine-Fitzpatrick, Linda; Forsyth, Kirsty
    Background and Objectives: Previous efforts to develop a resilience measure for older adults have largely failed to consider the environmental influences on their resilience, and have primarily concentrated on the resilience of community dwelling older adults. Our objective was to validate a new multidimensional measure of resilience, the Making it CLEAR (MiC) questionnaire, for use with older adults at the point of discharge from hospital.

    A systematic review and correlational meta-analysis of factors associated with resilience of normally aging, community-living older adults
    (Oxford University Press, 2021-09-22) Górska, Sylwia; Singh Roy, Anusua; Whitehall, Lucy; Irvine-Fitzpatrick, Linda; Duffy, Nichola; Forsyth, Kirsty
    Background and objectives: Global policy emphasizes the need to promote healthy aging through supporting inclusivity, safety, and functional independence. Research indicates that efforts to enhance resilience can contribute to meeting these objectives. We employed meta-analytical approach to examine evidence on resilience in community-living older adults.

    “Sounds good, but... what is it?” An introduction to outcome measurement from a music therapy perspective
    (2018-06-27) Spiro, Neta; Tsiris, Giorgos; Cripps, Charlotte
    “Sounds good, but... what is it?” This is a common reaction to outcome measurement by music therapy practitioners and researchers who are less familiar with its meanings and practices. Given the prevailing evidence-based practice movement, outcome measurement does ‘sound good’. Some practitioners and researchers, however, have a limited or unclear understanding of what outcome measurement includes; particularly with respect to outcome measures and related terminology around their use. Responding to the “what is it?” question, this article provides an introduction to such terminology. It explores what outcome measures are and outlines characteristics related to their forms, uses and selection criteria. While pointing to some debates regarding outcome measurement, including its philosophical underpinnings, this introduction seeks to offer a useful platform for a critical and contextual understanding of the potential use of outcome measures in music therapy.
