Abstract
Denne undersøgelse vurderer, hvor relevante punkterne (enkeltstående observationskriterier) i en egenudviklet skala, Assessment Scale for Cerebral Palsy (ASCP), er. Skalaen er designet til at observere, hvordan en lille gruppe personer med svær cerebral parese reagerer og interagerer under musikterapi. For at afklare relevansen gennemgik vi eksisterende vurderingsskalaer i musikterapi for cerebral parese og for andre tilstande med lignende begrænsninger og sammenlignede deres punkter med ASCP. Ved hjælp af kvalitativ analyse fandt vi 17 ud af 32 ASCP‑punkter, der både gik igen i andre skalaer og var særligt meningsfulde til at registrere ændringer i interaktiv og intentionel respons (hvordan deltagerne engagerer sig, kommunikerer og reagerer med et formål) hos personer med CP. Vi reflekterer også kritisk over de resterende punkter: hvilke der kan være mindre relevante i denne sammenhæng, og hvordan ASCP kan forfines eller udvides i fremtiden. Målet er at styrke vurderingen i musikterapi for personer med svær cerebral parese ved at tydeliggøre, hvilke observationspunkter der betyder mest.
This study examines how relevant the items (individual observation points) in a self-developed Assessment Scale for Cerebral Palsy (ASCP) are. The scale is designed to observe how a small group of people with severe cerebral palsy respond and interact during music therapy. To assess relevance, we reviewed existing music therapy assessment scales for cerebral palsy and for other conditions with similar limitations, and compared their items with those in the ASCP. Using qualitative analysis, we identified 17 out of 32 ASCP items that were both common to other scales and especially meaningful for tracking changes in interactive and intentional responses (how participants engage, communicate, and respond purposefully) in people with CP. We also critically reflect on the remaining items: which may be less relevant in this context and how the ASCP could be refined or expanded in the future. The aim is to strengthen assessment in music therapy for people with severe cerebral palsy by clarifying which observation points matter most.
