Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction This quantitative research investigates the impact of a receptive music therapy method-variation, Personalized Audio Montage (called Montage Audio Personnalisé [MAP] in French), on self-reported levels of stress, anxiety, physical tension, fatigue, and mood of youth experiencing homelessness. Method A single-group pretest-posttest design was used to determine the impact of MAP. Participants completed the co-researcher music therapist-developed Visual Analogue Scales (VAS) for five independent variables (i.e. self-reported levels of stress, anxiety, fatigue, physical tension, and mood), before and after participating in individual MAP sessions. Multivariate ANOVAs for repeated measures were used considering time (pretest-posttest), and MAP sessions as within-subjects factors. Results Nine youth (n = 9) participated in one to three MAP sessions. There were 20 pre-tests and post-tests for each independent variable except for anxiety, for which 19 pre-tests and post-tests were completed. Results of quantitative data analysis show a statistically significant decrease in scores for self-reported levels of stress, anxiety and physical tension at post-session as compared to pre-session. No significant effect was observed for fatigue. Finally, mood scores significantly improved from prettest to posttest. Discussion Findings suggest that MAP holds potential to be a valuable part of music therapists’ intervention strategies to support the emotional and physical well-being of youth experiencing homelessness. Limitations and future research recommendations are presented with regard to the small sample size and complexity of conducting research with youth experiencing homelessness.

个性化音频蒙太奇:一种接受性音乐治疗方法的影响——变异对经历无家可归的青少年的影响

摘要引言这项定量研究调查了一种接受性音乐治疗方法的变化，即个性化音频蒙太奇（法语称为蒙太奇音频Personnalisé[MAP]），对无家可归青年自我报告的压力、焦虑、身体紧张、疲劳和情绪的影响。方法采用单组前测后测设计来确定MAP的影响。参与者在参加个人MAP课程前后，完成了音乐治疗师为五个自变量（即自我报告的压力、焦虑、疲劳、身体紧张和情绪水平）开发的视觉模拟量表（VAS）。考虑到时间（前测后测）和MAP会话作为受试者内部因素，使用了重复测量的多变量方差分析。结果9名青年（n = 9）参加了一到三次MAP会议。除焦虑外，每个自变量都有20个预测和后测，其中完成了19个预测或后测。定量数据分析结果显示，与治疗前相比，治疗后自我报告的压力、焦虑和身体紧张程度的得分在统计学上显著下降。未观察到对疲劳的显著影响。最后，从测试前到测试后，情绪得分显著提高。讨论结果表明，MAP有可能成为音乐治疗师干预策略的宝贵组成部分，以支持无家可归青年的身心健康。针对对无家可归青年进行研究的样本量小和复杂性，提出了局限性和未来的研究建议。

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.
