Abstract

Homeless young adults with problematic psychoactive substance (PS) use face multiple challenges that compromise their well-being. Despite these challenges, few of them access psychosocial services and rather rely on personal resources to promote their own well-being. However, literature has been largely centered on their difficulties, leaving their strengths and capacities unknown. Despite this lack of knowledge, literature suggests that music is very important in the lives of young adults, especially because it helps them meet multiple well-being needs. The objective of this study was to describe and understand the perspectives of homeless young adults who experience problematic PS use on the ways music contributes to their well-being. Fifteen participants took part in semi-directed qualitative interviews that covered their experiences regarding the role of music in well-being. We also performed an iterative thematic analysis. Results highlight the marked importance of music for participants. Our study also demonstrates participants’ capacity to adapt their use of music to address the emotional, psychological, and social challenges they face. This study contributes to a better understanding of young adults’ use of music in promoting their global well-being and to the development of adapted outreach interventions that account for their capacities and interests.

音乐如何促进幸福？使用精神活性物质的无家可归年轻人的观点

使用精神活性物质（PS）有问题的无家可归的年轻人面临着危及他们福祉的多重挑战。尽管面临这些挑战，他们中很少有人获得社会心理服务，而是依靠个人资源来促进自己的福祉。然而，文学大多集中在他们的困难上，对他们的优势和能力一无所知。尽管缺乏相关知识，但文献表明，音乐在年轻人的生活中非常重要，尤其是因为它帮助他们满足多种健康需求。本研究的目的是描述和理解无家可归的年轻人的观点，他们经历了有问题的PS使用方式，音乐有助于他们的健康。15名参与者参加了半定向定性访谈，内容涵盖了他们关于音乐在幸福感中的作用的经历。我们还进行了迭代主题分析。结果突出了音乐对参与者的显著重要性。我们的研究还表明，参与者有能力调整他们对音乐的使用，以应对他们所面临的情感、心理和社会挑战。这项研究有助于更好地理解年轻人使用音乐促进他们的全球福祉，并有助于开发适应他们的能力和兴趣的外展干预措施。

期刊介绍： Psychology of Music and SEMPRE provide an international forum for researchers working in the fields of psychology of music and music education, to encourage the exchange of ideas and to disseminate research findings. Psychology of Music publishes peer-reviewed papers directed at increasing the scientific understanding of any psychological aspect of music. These include studies on listening, performing, creating, memorising, analysing, describing, learning, and teaching, as well as applied social, developmental, attitudinal and therapeutic studies. Special emphasis is placed on studies carried out in naturalistic settings, especially those which address the interface between music psychology and music education.
