Abstract

In the current study, we aimed to explore the lived experience of Israeli parents who engaged in musical dialogues with their preterm infants during music therapy (MT) after being discharged from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), as a part of the multinational LongSTEP RCT. Seven participants of the main trial were invited to engage in semi-structured in-depth interviews intertwining listening to audio recordings from their music therapy sessions in an adapted interpersonal process recall (IPR) procedure. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). We understood the participants' experiences to reflect two main themes: 1) Music therapy as a potential means of transformation in communication skills, resourcefulness and sense of agency; and 2) emotional and musical preconditions for parental engagement in MT. The findings illustrate how a specific group of Israeli parents experienced MT as offering them a means of expanding their relationship with their preterm infants after discharge. Based on our findings, we recommend that music therapists consider parents' musical and emotional resources during post-discharge MT to meet the individual needs of families.

以色列早产儿住院后父母音乐治疗的生活体验

在当前的研究中，我们旨在探索以色列父母在新生儿重症监护病房(NICU)出院后，在音乐治疗(MT)期间与早产儿进行音乐对话的生活经验，作为跨国LongSTEP随机对照试验的一部分。主要试验的七名参与者被邀请参与半结构化的深度访谈，并在适应的人际过程回忆(IPR)程序中听取他们音乐治疗过程的录音。对访谈进行转录并使用解释现象学分析(IPA)进行分析。我们认为参与者的经历反映了两个主要主题:1)音乐治疗作为一种潜在的手段，可以改变沟通技巧、智谋和能动性;2)父母参与MT的情感和音乐先决条件。研究结果说明了一组特定的以色列父母如何将MT作为他们在早产婴儿出院后扩大与他们关系的一种手段。基于我们的研究结果，我们建议音乐治疗师在出院后的MT中考虑父母的音乐和情感资源，以满足家庭的个性化需求。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
