Scientific title | Music therapy for abused children in poverty: A 2 stage, single centre, randomised controlled trial |
Study acronym | MTFACP |
Study objectives | Music therapy will have positive effects on behavioural problems such as internalizing problems (depressed/axious, withdrawn), externalizing problems (delinquent/aggressive behaviours), attention problems of abused children in poverty. As results of music therapy interventions, such behaviours of these children will improve comapred to pre-test period with post-test period. |
Ethics approval(s) | The Human Research Ethics Board at Jeonju University approved on the 4th of February 2010 (ref: JJIRBAPR-2010-001) |
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Child abuse/ neglect: physical, verbal, emotional, sexual abuse and neglect. Absolute poverty: Below minimum wage threshold for family in Korea. |
Intervention | 1. Preliminary survey on 300 children from local child centres in Jeonlabukdo area, Korea to identify children at risk. 2. Pilot study: Individual music therapy for 4 children who are exposed to child abuse/neglect and poverty. Pre/Post test using standardized self-reporting scale (Child Behavior Checklist [CBCL], Youth Self Report [YSR], Self Esteem Scale [SES], etc) and behavioural observation through session DVD recordings. 3. Main intervention: 3.1. First part: Random assignment to Group music therapy (treatment) vs. waiting group (no treatment). Pre/post measurements (CBCL, YSR, SES, etc) and behavioural observation through DVD recordings. Random assignment of 20 % of music therapy group children to individual music therapy. This is to compare treatment, no treatment and treatment intensity. 3.2. Second part: Group music therapy for both experimental and waiting group. This is to compare effects of longer and shorter intervention. Social intervention (family therapy, parents and teacher education) is offered. This is to compare child intervention only with child intervention plus social intervention. |
