Abstract

This pilot study involved a single session of song-based music therapy to relieve the anxiety of intensive care unit (ICU) caregivers. Six caregivers of ICU patients participated in the intervention session individually. During the initial stage of the intervention, the participants' current emotional states were identified. Then they listened to familiar songs and playing a tone chime, which was intended to help them relax their body and reduce their psychological resistance. During singing experiences as an essential part of the intervention, the participants discussed the lyrics of songs in an attempt to find the meaning related to them. Also, they sang the songs with a live accompaniment in which their emotional states were reflected with changes in musical elements (e.g., tempo, dynamics, rhythm, or chords). In the final stage, they identified personal application to their everyday lives. To analyze the results, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and a visual analog scale on emotional states were completed by participants before and after the session, and participants' verbal responses during the session were also recorded. According to the results, STAI anxiety scores significantly declined following the session. Also, they showed significant increases in positive emotions and significant decreases in negative emotions. This suggests that short-term music therapy can be an effective intervention for relieving the psychological distress of ICU caregivers.

본 연구는 중환자 보호자의 불안 감소를 위해 단회기 노래중심 음악치료를 적용한 예비연구로, 총 6명의 중환자 보호자가 음악치료 세션에 참여하였다. 노래중심 음악치료 중재는 초반에 대상자의 현재 정서 상태를 확인하고, 신체적 이완촉진 및 심리적 저항감을 줄이기 위한 음악듣기 혹은 음악에 맞추어 악기(톤차임)를 연주하는 단계를 진행하였고, 이후 노래중심 활동에서는 노래 가사에 대해서 토의하고 실제로 노래를 부르는 과정이 진행되었다. 가사에 대해 토의하면서 대상자가 자신에게 의미 있는 메시지를 확인할 수 있도록 하였고, 노래부르기 동안에는 연구자가 대상자의 정서 상태에 따라 음악 요소(템포, 다이내믹, 리듬, 화성 등)를 조정하며 제공하는 반주에 맞춰 선택된 노래를 부르도록 하였다. 대상자의 변화를 확인하기 위해 참여 전후로 상태불안 척도(STAI) 및 정서 상태에 대한 VAS 척도를 측정하였으며, 중재 과정에서 관찰된 대상자의 언어 반응 역시 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 중재 후 대상자들의 STAI 점수가 유의하게 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 대상자들이 지각하는 정적 정서상태는 유의하게 증가하였고, 단회기 치료과정에서의 심리적 변화에는 개인적 편차가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 결과적으로 단회기 노래중심 음악치료가 중환자 보호자의 불안을 포함한 심리정서적 필요에 효과적으로 개입할 수 있는 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.
