Parent coaching is a specific intervention where primary caregivers learn evidence-based strategies to support their children's development. Virtual music parent coaching has initial evidence of feasibility for families of autistic children. In this study, we used quantitative and qualitative measures to evaluate an 8-week parent coaching program. Feasibility aspects included parental demand, retention, learning, and satisfaction, interventionist's fidelity to the coaching program, and primary caregiver perspectives of outcomes, challenges, and benefits. Results indicated that caregivers learned about the research opportunity mainly through social media, with much lower response to email invitations. Eleven participants enrolled in the study, but 7 completed the program, for a 64% retention rate. Main reasons to drop out were time constraints and other responsibilities. Parents reported a high level of satisfaction and appropriate learning, as well as meaningful changes in their child's communication, understanding their child better, and valuing the accessibility and flexibility of the virtual modality. An interventionist with limited specialized training in autism but appropriate clinical experience achieved fidelity in the parent coaching model quickly. Caregivers' recommendations for improvement included providing recorded examples of the music and tailoring the written materials to each family. Suggestions for future research and practice include prioritizing social media as recruiting medium, evaluating parental disposition and time availability before initiating the program, considering siblings' needs, investigating cost effectiveness, and emphasizing the interventionist's collaborative approach with the parent.","PeriodicalId":47143,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Music Therapy","volume":"62 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144056406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study implemented a music care program and assessed its impact on the relationship between caregivers and people living with dementia in Taiwan. We recruited family caregivers of people with dementia for a non-randomized controlled trial. The experimental group participated in a 12-week Music Care Training Program for Dementia Caregivers and practiced music activities at home. Meanwhile, the control group provided standard care to their care recipients. The Mutuality, Positive Aspects of Care, and Rewards of Caregiving scales and the WHO-5 Well-being Index were implemented before and after the intervention. We used the scales' pretest scores as covariates and performed an analysis of covariance to compare the differences between the two groups. The experimental group consisted of 14 caregivers aged 43-76 years (with only one male), whereas the control group consisted of 11 caregivers aged 50-75 years (all female). After the intervention, ANCOVA results indicated the experimental group showed significantly higher scores than the control group on the Positive Aspects of Care scale and minor positive changes in the WHO-5 Well-being Index. In conclusion, caregivers' scores on the Positive Aspects of Care scale improved following the Music Care Program, which might suggest the program's potential effect on fostering positive experiences and improving relationships between caregivers and care recipients.","PeriodicalId":47143,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Music Therapy","volume":"62 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144054002","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there is a gap in the literature investigating if group-based songwriting can impact mental health confidence/self-efficacy. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a single-session recovery-oriented group-based songwriting protocol on adults hospitalized in an acute care mental health unit as measured by mental health confidence. Over 48 sessions, 128 participants were cluster-randomized to songwriting or control conditions. The songwriting condition addressed motivations for and pathways to recovery. To avoid testing fatigue in this single-session study, songwriting participants received the intervention and then completed the Mental Health Confidence Scale (MHCS) while control participants completed the MHCS and then received a music intervention that did not address recovery. Results indicated significant between-group differences in optimism, coping, and advocacy subscales as well as total mental health confidence. In all measures, the songwriting group had more favorable mean scores than the control group. Effect sizes were in the small and medium ranges. Despite the temporal limitations associated with single-session treatment germane to acute mental health settings, results were statistically significant and clinically relevant. Implications for clinical practice, limitations, and suggestions for future research are provided.","PeriodicalId":47143,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Music Therapy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143781391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Music interventions are emerging as a valuable form of intervention in the rehabilitation of children with ABI, stimulating brain functions involved in movement, cognition, speech, emotions, and sensory perceptions. To date, the literature detailing the impact of music and music therapy interventions on functional outcomes in children with ABI has not been reviewed systematically. To address this, Whittemore and Knafl's five-stage integrative review framework was employed, which includes (a) problem identification, (b) literature search, (c) data evaluation, (d) data analysis and synthesis, and (e) presentation of the findings. A total of 388 articles were retrieved, and 8 studies met the inclusion criteria. Analysis and synthesis resulted in 3 overarching themes: outcomes of using music therapy in pediatric ABI, music therapy as a motivator in pediatric ABI rehabilitation, and collaboration. The review highlights the pivotal role of music as a motivational catalyst that promotes adherence to rehabilitative intervention. Nevertheless, it underscores a significant gap in empirical research within the field, emphasizing the necessity for larger, more rigorous studies.","PeriodicalId":47143,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Music Therapy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141564813","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Music therapy as a health profession lacks substantial research on the cost-effectiveness of its services and there is no overview of existing data. We therefore conducted a scoping review. To contextualize and focus the scope, we describe different types of economic evaluations (EEs) and characterize four types of music interventions. Following the PRISMA extension for scoping reviews, we systematically searched six databases (EBSCOHost, ProQuest, Web of Science, APA PsycNet, Scopus, and Prospero) in January 2023, and, after screening the initial 1,041 hits, 26 references were included in the review. The results consist of 19 completed and 7 planned EEs published between 1999 and 2022, mainly in the United States. The results show a heterogeneous picture with regard to: (a) the health economic methods used, ranging from cost analyses to cost-effectiveness analyses (CEAs), and one social return on investment analysis; (b) the service users involved, ranging from neonatal intensive care patients to persons with dementia and care staff; (c) the outcomes and cost components examined in the respective studies; and (d) the type of study and the conclusions drawn from the results. Accordingly, this scoping review provides an up-to-date overview of health economic studies and identifies research gaps in the field of music interventions for health-related goals and aims to contribute to the discussion on this topic.","PeriodicalId":47143,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Music Therapy","volume":"62 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143029708","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this mixed methods study was to gather data related to readers' use and perceptions of the journals, including perceptions regarding the integration of diversity and social justice. Board-certified music therapists (N = 409) met inclusion criteria and completed an online survey; these data were used to inform focus group questions. We then conducted five focus groups (N = 16 participants) to gather more personal and in-depth responses. Survey data indicated varying opinions related to the use of the journals and inclusion of social justice principles, whereas the focus groups were more unified in their assessment that more work is needed in this area. Participants in the focus groups brought forward issues related to inclusion and access. The readership indicated that the journals currently incorporate some aspects of these principles; however, many readers would like to see more intentional integration of these principles across the journals. Focus group members also provided a variety of action steps for consideration as the journals move forward.","PeriodicalId":47143,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Music Therapy","volume":"62 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143469572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, research into parent perceptions of long-term family-centered music therapy is lacking. This qualitative study delves into the experiences of mothers with autistic children who engaged in a minimum three-year-long, family-centered music therapy program. Through semi-structured interviews with seven mothers, employing Reflexive Thematic Analysis, this study aims to comprehend the nuanced ways these parents experienced long-term music therapy for their child and family. Two main themes emerged from the analysis, each with related subthemes. Theme 1-Long-term music therapy fosters subjective well-being in the child and family, includes three subthemes: (a) sharing joy through musical interactions supports well-being; (b) an opportunity for the child to be themselves; and (c) music as a support for daily life. Theme 2-Parent perceived changes to their child's development, includes six subthemes: (a) focusing on the whole child; (b) supporting cognitive development; (c) supporting social skills; (d) supporting emotional skills; (e) supporting body awareness; and (f) developing child strengths and resources. These mothers shared that long-term music therapy sessions with their child supported them to experience a sense of relief and catharsis, which they considered helped them to cope with the challenges they faced when adapting to the different developmental path of their children. Additionally, the analysis of the parent interviews reveals their perceptions that long-term music therapy can bolster family well-being by facilitating emotional expression and capitalizing on the child's strengths. This qualitative study therefore highlights the potential multifaceted benefits of long-term music therapy, providing valuable insights into its possible role in enhancing the lives of autistic children and their families.","PeriodicalId":47143,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Music Therapy","volume":"62 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144175317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has been argued that music therapy is highly compatible with recovery principles. This critical interpretive synthesis explores published music therapy assessments designed for use with children and adolescents experiencing mental health challenges, including assessment development, contextual influences, and potential applications in recovery-oriented mental health settings. Database searches, citation tracking, and hand searching identified nine relevant publications (1988-2019), reflecting eight separate assessments. Publications describe the assessment of multiple domains to inform planning; use a range of quantitative rating scales and qualitative descriptions; focus on information sharing and enhancing credibility; and reveal the influence of verbal psychotherapeutic models. Some assessments use terminology that was common in the era that they were published but are not considered congruent with recovery-oriented care. An emphasis on clinician dominance and duplication of information collected by other professionals in interdisciplinary settings is also apparent, potentially affecting usability in mental health services. Exploration of musical phenomena is evident in all assessments and may offer a unique contribution to interdisciplinary processes. Although a significant focus on individual pathology is evident, consumers' resources and contexts are explored in many of the music therapy assessments. This synthesis reveals a need to explore and develop music therapy assessment practices that align with recovery-oriented principles to meet consumer needs and improve integration in interdisciplinary contexts.","PeriodicalId":47143,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Music Therapy","volume":"62 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144050842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
