research def
careful, diligent, systematic search to discover new knowledge, reaffirmation of previous knowledge, and changes in perspective
discipline research
Resaerching practice, what music therapists do in assessment, treatment, and evaluation
profession research
MTAs as group and context in which they work
foundational research
often originates in otehr dicipline but provides foundations for MT
research v. clinical practice v. theory
- research increases or modifies knowledge about nature of music therapy
- clinical practice gain knowledge needed to help clients addresss health needs
- broad realm of how to make sense of facts
objective research
1. overview
2. ourpose
3. role of theory
- quantitiative, single relality independent of experience (ontology) where objective truths discovered through systematic inquiry (epistemology)
- deny or confirm a focused well-defined hypothesis which guides research methods and designs to estabilish truth
- research and theory continually add to existing knowledge
interpretive research
1. overview
2. purpose
3. role of theory
- qualitative, how person perceives, feels, thinks, and derives meaning from lived phenomenon, findings are constructions of the researcher
- explore particular phenomenon to analyze and understand it, no formulaic design but use an approach or perspective to interpret findings
- research and theory increase understanding of existing constructions, leading to more relevant constructions
ontology v. epistemology
ontology is study of what exists/real, epistemology is what is possible to know and how to know it, ontology precepeds and limits epistemology
positivism
objective theory which knowledge accepting only observable or measurable experience of world as absolute truths
postpositivism
objective theory which findings are not absolute truths but circumstantial and given new evidence possibility for alternative explanations
constructivism
interpretist theory that acknowledges the reality we precive is constructed by social historical and individual contexts
mixed methods research
combination of qualitative and quantititative methods
basic v. appliled research
- basic research increases foundational knowledge for understanding phenomena without specific application, often done in other disciplines
- knowledge used to recognize and meet a specific need such as MT assessment, treatment, and evaluation
4 key stages of research treatment strategies
understanding different neededs and purpose at stages allows research to dev more efficiently, more useful results, and assists in acquiring funding
1. development stage
2. feasibility and piloting stage
3. evaluation of treatment
4. implementation
what is MT?
discipline in which credentiaed professional use music purposefully within therapeutic relations to support dev, health, and well-being in a variety of different areas
becoming certified MTA
- university training in MT
- muscicianship with guitar, piano, and voice
- 1000 hour supervised clinical internship
- certicifcation exam
- statement of dadhereence to CAMT codes of ethics and standards of practice
- continuing education
types of MT interventions
pre-composed music, listening, singing, improvistation, lyric analysis
where is research happening and being published
- few research universities, usually in Eurocentric countries which used western undergrads as samples but they are not the best rep of human emotion, beliefs, and sexuality
- several MT journals worldwide, some not MT journals but can be music based, and MT research can also appear in other health care journals which increases MT’s credibilty in the health field
NMT academy
- Dr. Corene Hurt-Thaut (Certified Music Therapist) & Dr. Michael Thaut (Tier 1 Researcher) Master’s in Music and Health; Music and Health Research Collaboratory (MaHRC)
Neurologic Music Therapy Academy - lots of research funding and authored many scientific publications in multiple fields
- American Music Therapy Association’s National Research Award 1993
evidence-based practice
1. overview
2. non-evidence based practice
3. issues with EBP
- approach that promotes collection, interpretation, and integration of valid, important and applicable patient-reported, clinical observed, and research-based evidence
- may rely on tradition, intuition, or other unproven methods, often combined with EBP
- EBP stems from objectivist approach therefore not always address issues important to interpretive research and sometimes does not reflect MTA work with clients
common challenges/limitations in MTR
- western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic studies
- not Master level profession
- small sample size with lots of pilots and case studies
5 steps of EBP
- ask a clinical question
- acquire best evidence for answering question
- crit appraise evidence for validity, impact, and applicability
- apply evidence into clinical decision making
- audit steps 1-4 to improve next time
objective MT evidence
causal relations between MT interventions and specific clinical outcomes
interobjective MT evidence
systemic relations among MT variables
