The aim of this study was to examine the experiences of music therapists in using their voice clinically. The researcher conducted in-depth interviews with seven music therapists who were able to explain their experiences in using voice. Each interview was analyzed using the phenomenological method of Amedeo Giorgi. The data analysis yielded 9 sub-categories and 6 components: "promotion of various feelings due to clinical use of voice", "voice use depending on the therapist's personality", "voice use for therapy", "positive musical experiences with clients in using voice", "difficulty in using voice as a tool for music therapy", and "attempt to change unsatisfactory voice". The result showed that the music therapists had both positive and difficult experiences with their clients in using their voice. Their instances of perceived unsatisfactory voice prompted them to develop themselves personally and professionally. This study is intended to provide a general understanding of voice use by music therapists and offer a solid basis for music therapists to study voice in the future.

Given that music is not part of the national/regular curriculum and how music therapy is a new endeavor in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), this study aimed to investigate parents' perceptions of the music therapy given to their children with disabilities in the UAE. A survey was administered to 33 parents of children with disabilities living in Sharjah, UAE. The survey consisted of 43 questions related to characteristics of the music therapy sessions that the participants' children received and the parents' satisfaction with their children's music therapy. The results showed that participants reported a high level of satisfaction with the music therapy provided to their children. In terms of their participation in music therapy sessions, 33.3% of parents co-participated in music therapy sessions with their children, and 45.5% of parents observed their children's sessions. Parents who had direct participation in music therapy sessions were significantly more satisfied with their children's music therapy (p < .05) and perceived greater positive changes in their children as a result of the therapy (p < .05). Parents perceived their children as being able to positively respond to music, leading to positive changes in behavior. Despite these benefits, participants also reported the need for formal opportunities for family members to learn about the applications and outcomes of music therapy. The findings of this study supports the implementation of music therapy throughout the UAE and point to the need for future studies as music therapy expands across the country.

전 세계적으로 Helicobacter pylori의 항생제 내성률은 지속적으로 증가하고 있으며, 기존의 제균 치료에 실패한 H. pylori 감염 환자들에 대한 효과적인 구제요법(rescue therapy)의 필요성 역시 증가하고 있다. 이 연구는 두 개 기관, 공개, 평행 그룹, 무작위 배정 연구로서 불응성 H. pylori 감염 환자들의 구제요법으로 유전자형 내성을 기반한 치료(genotype resistance-guided therapy)와 경험적 치료(empirical therapy) 중 어느 것이 보다 효과적인지를 비교하고자 하였다. 2012년 10월부터 2017년 9월까지 20세 이상의 불응성 H. pylori 감염 환자들을 대상으로 하였으며, 불응성 H. pylori 감염은 과거 두 종류 이상의 H. pylori 제균 치료를 받았음에도 불구하고 H. pylori 제균에 실패한 환자들로 정의하였다. 이들에게서 한 군은 14일간의 유전자형 내성을 기반한 순차 치료(n=21 in trial 1, n=205 in trial 2)를, 다른 한 군은 환자들의 과거 제균 치료 종류를 감안한 14일간의 경험적 순차 치료(n=20 in trial 1, n=205 in trial 2)를 시행하였다. 순차 치료법은 첫 7일은 esomeprazole 40 mg과 amoxicillin 1 g을 하루 두 번 복용한 다음, 나머지 7일은 esomeprazole 40 mg과 metronidazole 500 mg, 그리고 1) levofloxacin 250 mg 또는 2) clarithromycin 500 mg 또는 3) tetracycline 500 mg을 하루 두 번 복용하는 것으로 구성하였다. 23S ribosomal RNA (rRNA)나 gyrase A에 대한 내성 관련 돌연변이 여부는 direct sequencing을 통한 중합효소연쇄반응(polymerase chain reaction, PCR) 검사를 이용하였고, 제균 성공 여부는 요소호기검사를 통해 확인하였다. 일차 결과 지표는 치료 방법에 따른 제균율로 정하였다. Trial 1에서는 tetracycline 대신 doxycycline 100 mg을 사용하였는데, 제균 성공률이 유전자형 내성을 기반한 치료군에서는 17명(81%), 경험적 치료군에서는 12명(60%)으로 나타났다(P=0.181). 하지만, 다른 순차 치료군들과 비교하였을 때, doxycycline을 포함한 순차 치료군의 제균율이 현저히 낮은 것으로 나타나서(15/26, 57.7%) doxycycline을 포함한 순차 치료법은 종결하기로 하고, trial 2부터는 doxycycline 대신 tetracycline으로 교체하여 연구를 지속하였다. Trial 2의 intention-to-treat (ITT) 분석 결과, 유전자형 내성을 기반한 치료군에서는 160/205명(78%), 경험적 치료군에서는 148/205명(72.2%)으로 두 그룹 간의 통계적인 제균율의 차이는 보여주지 못하였다(P=0.170). 부작용 및 환자 순응도에서도 양 군 간의 의미 있는 차이는 없었다. 따라서, 두 종류 이상 H. pylori 제균 치료에 실패한 환자들이라고 할지라도 기존의 제균 치료력을 바탕으로 적절한 경험적 치료를 시행하는 것은 유전자형 내성을 기반한 치료 정도의 효과는 있으며 접근성, 비용, 환자들의 선호도 등의 여러 가지 부가적인 사항들을 고려할 때, 제균 치료력을 고려한 경험적 치료는 간단한 수준의 유전자형 내성을 기반한 치료의 대안으로 받아들여질 수 있을 것으로 제안하였다.

We aimed to revise and supplement the art therapy kit based on the findings of a review of women's experiences participating in the art therapy kit in the 2030s. After women in their 2030s experienced the developed art therapy kit for one month, we organized two homogeneous groups of 8 art psychotherapy majors and 5 non-majors to collect data through focus group interviews and analyzed them using grounded theory methods. In the end, 100 converted meaning units, 16 subcomponents, and 5 components were derived. There is a lack of research on the development and experience of art or art therapy-based kits in Korea, so it is important for us to provide basic data on the experience of art therapy kits. In addition, the study participants experienced insights into themselves and their emotions based on the accumulated art therapy kit outputs through immersion in emotion exploration and recognition, and these experiences led to the participants' recognition of the need and value of developing art therapy kits. The individual and unique outcomes of the art therapy kits became evidence of self-awareness, confirming the therapeutic effectiveness of art therapy kits as a tool for emotion exploration and recognition and for emotional change and resolution.
