科学诚信是循证实践(EBP)的基础,也是音乐疗法(MT)研究和临床实践中必不可少的。在国家自闭症中心(NAC)和国家自闭症证据与实践信息交换所(NCAEP)如何分析研究的背景下,研究人员对音乐治疗师(MT)与自闭症谱系个体采用的方法和干预措施进行了综合审查。研究人员确定了880个符合初始搜索标准的数据库记录(即,自闭症谱系障碍,自闭症,PDD-NOS,MT,和音乐干预);在筛查重复后,仍有36项研究,主题相关性,并遵守纳入标准。纳入的研究发表在1964年至2021年之间,以英语,在免费的开放获取期刊上,全球;同行评审;由MT进行;经验定量,定性,或混合方法设计;基于干预;并为自闭症谱系的参与者提供单独的数据。内容和定量分析确定了科学完整性方面的缺陷以及所审查研究中的以下差距:运动技能和位置(NAC定义的干预目标),基于计算机和歌曲创作和作曲(MT技术),以及音乐指导图像的健康和Bonny方法(临床方法);在使用MT技术和方法的NAC干预中,没有明显的模式。对5点科学绩效评级的分析得出平均2.78评级。NAC和NCAEP术语的比较(即,MT研究人员如何报告自变量)表明八个标题提到了特定的非音乐干预措施,19提到MT,14包括基于音乐的技术描述符,两个提到了非音乐干预和MT。研究人员提供有关包含身份的语言的指南,科学诚信,以及对自闭症谱系个体的MT干预研究中EBP的清晰度。
Scientific integrity is fundamental to evidence-based practice (EBP) and essential in music therapy (MT) research and clinical practice. Researchers conducted an integrative review of approaches and interventions employed by music therapists (MTs) with individuals on the autism spectrum in the context of how studies are analyzed by the National Autism Center (NAC) and National Clearinghouse on Autism Evidence and Practice (NCAEP). Researchers identified 880 database records meeting initial search criteria (i.e., autism spectrum disorder, autism, PDD-NOS, MT, and music interventions); 36 studies remained after screening for duplication, topic relevance, and adherence to inclusion criteria. Included studies were published between 1964 and 2021, in English language, in free open-access journals, worldwide; peer reviewed; conducted by MTs; empirical quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods design; intervention-based; and presented separate data for participants on the autism spectrum. Content and quantitative analyses identified deficits in scientific integrity and the following gaps in studies reviewed: Motor Skills and Placement (NAC-defined intervention targets), Computer-based and Songwriting and Composition (MT techniques), and Wellness and Bonny Method of Guided Imagery in Music (clinical approaches); no patterns were evident among NAC Interventions with MT techniques and approaches. Analysis of 5-point Scientific Merit Ratings yielded a mean 2.78 rating. A comparison of NAC and NCAEP terminology (i.e., how MT researchers report independent variables) indicated eight titles mention specific non-music interventions, 19 mention MT, 14 include music-based technique descriptors, and two mention both non-music interventions and MT. Researchers offer guidelines regarding identity-inclusive language, scientific integrity, and clarity of EBPs within MT intervention research with individuals on the autism spectrum.
