Abstract

ABSTRACT We conducted an intervention based on Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) with dance students to improve their performance and reduce their anxiety levels. Sixteen students from a dance conservatory participated in a quasi-experimental mixed research, test-posttest design without control group, consisting of five SFBT sessions. Their teachers evaluated their performance. The results showed the intervention was effective in reducing levels of performance anxiety (O1 = 126; O2 = 105.68), thought credibility and anxious thoughts (O1 = 64.43; O2 = 51.81), and self-perceived anxiety (O1 = 6.21; O2 = 4.58). The teachers reported an improvement in student performance (p < .05). Qualitative results demonstrate that participants could identify problems and take distance, transform negative thoughts into positive ones, and understand and expand their resources to face anxiety-related situations. These findings suggest that SFBT can be a valuable tool for dance teachers looking to enhance the performance of their students, reduce their anxiety levels to overcome stage fears, and improve their overall performance.

以解决方案为重点的方法克服舞台焦虑症

摘要我们对舞蹈专业的学生进行了基于焦点解决简易疗法（SFBT）的干预，以提高他们的表演水平并降低他们的焦虑水平。来自一所舞蹈学院的 16 名学生参加了一项准实验混合研究，采用测试-后测设计，不设对照组，包括五节 SFBT 课程。他们的老师对他们的表现进行了评估。结果显示，干预措施有效降低了学生的成绩焦虑水平（O1 = 126；O2 = 105.68）、思想可信度和焦虑想法（O1 = 64.43；O2 = 51.81）以及自我感觉焦虑水平（O1 = 6.21；O2 = 4.58）。教师们表示学生的成绩有所提高（P < .05）。定性结果表明，参与者能够发现问题并采取相应措施，将消极想法转化为积极想法，并了解和扩展自己的资源，以面对与焦虑相关的情况。这些研究结果表明，对于希望提高学生成绩、降低焦虑水平以克服舞台恐惧并提高整体表现的舞蹈教师来说，SFBT 是一种有价值的工具。
