Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction The study explores the theme “stigma” and how it was experienced by participants in MOT82, a music therapy project in the field of mental health aftercare in Norway. The theme is explored through the research questions: How is stigmatisation experienced by participants in a music therapy project in the field of mental health in aftercare? And: Which strategies can be used to prevent stigma in the context of music therapy in mental health aftercare? Method The method for the study is based on User Interviewing User, a method for evaluation of health services, where the service users are actively involved in the entire research process. The analyses were qualitative processes within a hermeneutic abductive approach highlighting reflexivity as an important part of the research process. Results The participants in the study expressed MOT82 to be a positive arena that fostered experiences of mastery, personal development, inclusion, and a strong collaborative community. However, the participants also highlighted the theme of stigma, expressed through stories about mechanisms of exclusion; negative processes of labelling; and how stigma could be related to issues concerning illness, health, and treatment. Discussion Findings related to the theme of stigma are discussed and illuminated by theory from sociology, music therapy, stigma research and recovery; emphasising the concepts of social capital, performance and the importance of a user perspective. With regards to the matter of destabilising stigma, the message from the participants in MOT82 is clear: Tone down the focus on mental illness, turn up the volume regarding the importance of doing music.

作为一个在乐队中演奏的人而不是一个在乐队中演奏的精神疾病患者:心理健康善后护理中音乐治疗背景下的耻辱的定性研究

摘要引言这项研究探讨了“污名”这一主题，以及MOT82的参与者是如何经历的。MOT82是挪威心理健康善后领域的一个音乐治疗项目。通过研究问题探讨了这一主题：在心理健康领域的音乐治疗项目中，参与者在善后护理中是如何经历污名化的？以及：在心理健康善后的音乐治疗中，哪些策略可以用来防止污名化？方法本研究的方法基于用户访谈用户，这是一种评估医疗服务的方法，服务用户积极参与整个研究过程。这些分析是解释学溯因方法中的定性过程，强调自反性是研究过程的重要组成部分。结果研究参与者表示，MOT82是一个积极的舞台，培养了掌握、个人发展、包容和强大的合作社区的经验。然而，与会者也强调了通过关于排斥机制的故事表达的污名化主题；负面标签过程；以及污名如何与疾病、健康和治疗等问题相关。讨论与污名主题相关的研究结果通过社会学、音乐治疗、污名研究和康复等理论进行了讨论和阐释；强调社会资本、绩效和用户视角的重要性。关于破坏名誉的问题，MOT82参与者传达的信息很明确：淡化对精神疾病的关注，提高对音乐重要性的认识。

期刊介绍： Nordic Journal of Music Therapy (NJMT) is published in collaboration with GAMUT - The Grieg Academy Music Therapy Research Centre (Uni Health and University of Bergen), with financial support from Nordic Board for Periodicals in the Humanities and Social Sciences and in co-operation with university programs and organizations of music therapy in the Nordic and Baltic countries. The Nordic Journal of Music Therapy serves the international community of music therapy by being an avenue for publication of scholarly articles, texts on practice, theory and research, dialogues and discussions, reviews and critique. Publication of the journal is based on the collaboration between the music therapy communities in the five Nordic countries of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden and the three Baltic Countries of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. This international but still regional foundation offers a platform for development of communication with the broader international community of music therapy. Scholars from all over the world are welcomed to write in the journal. Any kind of scholarly articles related to the field of music therapy are welcomed. All articles are reviewed by two referees and by the editors, to ensure the quality of the journal. Since the field of music therapy is still young, we work hard to make the review process a constructive learning experience for the author. The Nordic Journal of Music Therapy does not step aside from active engagement in the development of the discipline, in order to stimulate multicultural, meta-theoretical and philosophical discussions, and new and diverse forms of inquiry. The journal also stimulates reflections on music as the medium that defines the discipline. Perspectives inspired by musicology and ethnomusicology are therefore welcomed.
