Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study explores the feasibility and acceptability of a music composition intervention to support resilience in survivors of serious illness hospitalized during the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic introduced widespread trauma for patients facing hospitalization. Therapeutic music interventions have demonstrated positive psychological effects, but none have explored the specific trauma-informed aspects of a composition-mentor program, as well as the specific impact of music composition on resilience-related traits.

Researchers implemented an adapted version of the New York Philharmonic Very Young Composers program (VYC): trained composer-mentors guide participants through four web-based sessions to elicit and develop participants' unique musical ideas into finished compositions. Participants are then invited to view a string quartet performance of their compositions. The Brief Resilience Scale \[BRS\] and New General Self-Efficacy Scale \[NGSE\] are administered pre-intervention, post-intervention, and post-performance.
