Abstract [en]

The study aims to investigate the Home Sitter Program (HSP) and how it addresses the issue of school absenteeism among children and youth focusing on highlighting the effectiveness and maintenance of the manual-based intervention. Data collection method: Qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted with (n=5) social workers (60%) females and (40%) males via Zoom. Sampling was purposive recruiting informants based on their position, knowledge of the cultural arena, and association with the HSP. Data analysis employed verbatim transcriptions and manual thematic analysis involving familiarization with data, coding, and identifying patterns by color-coding to facilitate a clear distinction between main themes and sub-themes. The result showed key themes about the Home Sitter Program’s structure, intervention strategies, and challenges. The main theme of the result is the manual structure as a framework. Implementation is gradually carried out and has the flexibility of incorporating other theories and approaches while maintaining adherence to the program principles. Challenges are evaluating the program’s effectiveness, target group, and the lack of resources leading to deficiencies in sustaining the achieved changes during the maintenance phase. Consequently, parents and schools are responsible for sustaining the reached outcomes. Applying the latest research and keeping up with the target group is fundamental for the Home Sitter Program’s future success.
