Abstract

Background

During the COVID-19 pandemic we implemented a partially online music intervention to examine the feasibility, experiences and short-term outcomes on the challenging behaviour and well-being of adults with intellectual disabilities.

Method

This mixed-methods study included 10 participants with mild or moderate intellectual disabilities who received 16 one-hour individual music sessions in 10 weeks, either face-to-face or online. Data on feasibility and experiences from participants and music workers were collected and analysed using inductive thematic analysis. Challenging behaviour and well-being were measured before and after intervention.

Results

Overall experiences were positive and concerned appreciation, positive feelings, musical abilities, attention span, relatedness and personalisation. Online experiences varied, but most participants preferred face-to-face over online sessions. After the intervention, challenging behaviour scores were better than before.

Conclusions

Engaging in a partially online music intervention is feasible for people with intellectual disabilities and seems to improve challenging behaviour. Experiences are discussed and recommendations for future online sessions are provided.

针对智障成人的部分在线音乐干预试点研究的可行性、经验以及对挑战行为和幸福感的短期影响。

背景：在 COVID-19 大流行期间，我们实施了部分在线音乐干预措施，以研究其可行性、经验以及对智障成人挑战行为和福祉的短期影响：这项混合方法研究包括 10 名轻度或中度智障的参与者，他们在 10 周内接受了 16 次一小时的单独音乐课，可以是面对面授课，也可以是在线授课。研究收集了参与者和音乐工作者的可行性和经验数据，并采用归纳式主题分析法对其进行了分析。对干预前后的挑战行为和幸福感进行了测量：总体体验是积极的，涉及欣赏、积极情绪、音乐能力、注意力、亲和力和个性化。在线体验各不相同，但大多数参与者更喜欢面对面而不是在线课程。干预后，挑战行为的得分比干预前有所提高：参与部分在线音乐干预对智障人士来说是可行的，而且似乎可以改善挑战行为。本文讨论了相关经验，并对未来的在线课程提出了建议。
