Abstract

Objectives: Music educators are subjected to many physical and psychological stresses encountered in the workplace. These stresses could be counteracted by certain work-related behavior and experience patterns as personal resources to reduce the negative consequences of stress. The aim of the study was to determine the existing work-related behavioral and experiential patterns and the characteristics of the Work-Related Behavior and Experience Patterns (Arbeitsbezogenes Verhaltens- und Erlebensmuster - AVEM) questionnaire dimensions in the professional group of music educators according to age group.

Material and methods: A total of 205 music educators (66.3% female) from various music schools in Germany participated in the online survey. The subjects were divided into 3 age groups (AG): AG I: ≤35 years, AG II: 36-45 years, AG III: ≥46 years. In addition to sociodemographic and occupational data, the standardized AVEM questionnaire was used according to Schaarschmidt and Fischer. The age and occupation-related data were evaluated in a correlation analysis with the expression of AVEM dimensions.

Results: A total of 71.4% of the music educators were ≥46 years old group. Another 12.8% belonged to AG II, and 15.8% belonged to AG III. The sex distribution in the 3 age groups was comparable (p = 0.261). The expression of all AVEM dimensions was within the reference range. The most pronounced dimension, with a stanine value of M±SD 5.2±2.15, was the willingness to spend. There was also no significant difference in the assignment to the 4 patterns in the 3 age groups (p = 0.669). Age showed a negative correlation with the experience of social support (ρ = -0.354).

Conclusions: The age-independent and high intervention-requiring expressions of the AVEM risk patterns A and B led to the recommendation of workplace prevention and health promotion measures. Therefore, it seems reasonable to promote appropriate stress management measures and resilience during studies. Int J Occup Med Environ Health. 2024;37(2):176-93.

音乐教育工作者与工作相关的行为和经验模式--干预的基础。

目的：音乐教育工作者在工作场所会遇到许多生理和心理压力。这些压力可以通过某些与工作相关的行为和经验模式作为个人资源来抵消，从而减少压力带来的负面影响。本研究旨在确定音乐教育工作者职业群体中现有的与工作相关的行为和体验模式，以及与工作相关的行为和体验模式（Arbeitsbezogenes Verhaltens- und Erlebensmuster - AVEM）问卷各维度的特征，并按年龄组进行分类：共有 205 名来自德国不同音乐学校的音乐教育工作者（66.3% 为女性）参与了在线调查。调查对象分为 3 个年龄组（AG）：AG I：≤35 岁，AG II：36-45 岁，AG III：≥46 岁。除了社会人口学和职业数据外，还使用了 Schaarschmidt 和 Fischer 的标准化 AVEM 问卷。通过对年龄和职业相关数据与 AVEM 各维度表达的相关性分析进行了评估：结果：71.4%的音乐教育工作者年龄≥46 岁。另外 12.8%属于第二年龄组，15.8%属于第三年龄组。三个年龄组的性别分布相当（P = 0.261）。AVEM 所有维度的表达均在参考范围内。最明显的维度是消费意愿，其斯坦尼值为 M±SD 5.2±2.15。3 个年龄组在 4 种模式的分配上也没有明显差异（p = 0.669）。年龄与社会支持经验呈负相关（ρ = -0.354）：AVEM风险模式A和B与年龄无关，且对干预要求较高，因此建议采取工作场所预防和健康促进措施。因此，在学习期间推广适当的压力管理措施和抗压能力似乎是合理的。Int J Occup Med Environ Health.2024;37(2).
