Abstract

Background: Creative music therapy (CMT) in preterm infants has been associated with improved health outcomes in both parents and infants while promoting parent-infant bonding. However, access to CMT is limited.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the needs and preferences of parents of preterm infants and health care professionals as a first step in developing a CMT-based mobile health (mHealth) intervention.

Methods: An iterative qualitative study combining multistakeholder online focus groups with mind mapping. Map contributions were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis.

Results: A total of 20 participants (7 parents, 1 grandparent, and 12 health care professionals) contributed to creating the mind map, offering insights into the identified five themes: (1) aims of the mHealth intervention, (2) desired functions and design, (3) content, (4) important factors for acceptability, and (5) usability beyond the neonatal intensive care unit.

Conclusions: The study highlights critical considerations for designing a CMT-based mHealth intervention. The in-depth user insights gathered will inform iterative development and refinement of the intervention, which will be evaluated in future usability, feasibility, and effectiveness studies.

为新生儿护理及以后的父母和工作人员开发基于音乐的移动健康干预：在线焦点小组研究。

背景：早产儿创造性音乐疗法（CMT）与改善父母和婴儿的健康状况有关，同时促进亲子关系。然而，对CMT的访问是有限的。目的：本研究旨在探索早产儿父母和卫生保健专业人员的需求和偏好，作为开发基于cmt的移动健康（mHealth）干预措施的第一步。方法：多利益相关者在线焦点小组与思维导图相结合的迭代定性研究。使用反身性专题分析分析地图贡献。结果：共有20名参与者（7名父母、1名祖父母和12名卫生保健专业人员）参与了思维导图的创建，提供了对确定的五个主题的见解：(1)移动健康干预的目标，(2)期望的功能和设计，(3)内容，(4)可接受性的重要因素，以及(5)新生儿重症监护病房以外的可用性。结论：该研究强调了设计基于cmt的移动健康干预的关键考虑因素。收集到的深入的用户见解将为干预的迭代开发和改进提供信息，这些将在未来的可用性、可行性和有效性研究中进行评估。
