Abstract

Online delivery is new to the field of music therapy (MT). This research investigated older adults’ perceived quality of MT online by certified music therapists. In this feasibility study, applying both process and outcome assessments, nine older adults volunteered to participate. Zoom was used, and a virtual music therapy (VMT) kit was developed as a resource. Surveys and observed technical difficulties revealed that perceived quality varied slightly by level of technical difficulty experienced; however, overall mean perceived quality was 7.2 out of 9. Post-study interviews revealed three main themes: (a) individual experiences with VMT, (b) individuals’ suggestions for further development of VMT sessions, and (c) individuals’ personal outcomes from VMT sessions. Participants reported overall positive experiences with VMT. Despite a slight decline in perceived quality when more technical difficulties were present, each participant reported a desire for more sessions, and they would recommend it to others.

Résumé

Résumé

La prestation de soins en ligne est une nouveauté dans le domaine de la musicothérapie. Cette étude analyse les perceptions des personnes âgées quant à la qualité de la prestation de soins de musicothérapie en ligne par des musicothérapeutes agréés. Neuf personnes âgées se sont portées bénévoles pour participer à cette étude de faisabilité, examinant à la fois le processus et les résultats. Le logiciel Zoom a été utilisé et un outil de musicothérapie virtuelle a été conçu pour l’étude. Les sondages et les difficultés techniques observées ont révélé que la qualité perçue variait légèrement selon le degré de difficulté technique vécu. Cependant, la moyenne générale de la qualité perçue était de 7,2 sur 9. Les entrevues menées après l’étude s’articulaient autour de trois thèmes : 1) les expériences personnelles de musicothérapie virtuelle; 2) les suggestions de développer de nouvelles séances de musicothérapie virtuelle; 3) les résultats personnels tirés des séances de musicothérapie virtuelle. Dans l’ensemble, les participants ont fait état d’impressions positives sur leurs expériences de musicothérapie virtuelle. Malgré une légère baisse de la qualité perçue en présence de difficultés techniques accrues, les participants ont tous exprimé le désir de poursuivre les séances, ainsi que l’intention de les recommander à d’autres.
