ABSTRACT

The aim of this research was to give insight into the perceived impact of psychosocial, environmental and cultural conditions on playing-related discomfort/pain among tertiary string students. Participants, including 40 Bachelor of Music string majors at a music institution in Australia, completed questionnaire/interviews twice yearly for the duration of their programme. This article focuses on stage two of the qualitative analysis which involved extracting themes from the 181 interview sessions. A hierarchical structure with four primary themes – cultural beliefs, lack of control, self-efficacy, and stress/anxiety – was created. The results showed that students in this research particularly struggled with aspects of self-efficacy that could have allowed them to achieve more positive outcomes in terms of health and wellbeing. The results suggest that students may need to further develop time management skills so that they are able to practice, work, and participate in leisure activities without hindering their physical and psychological health.

摘要

这项研究的目的是深入了解心理，环境和文化条件对大三弦学生演奏相关的不适/疼痛的影响。参加者，包括澳大利亚音乐机构的40个弦专业的音乐学士，在课程期间每年完成两次问卷调查。本文着重于定性分析的第二阶段，涉及从181个面试环节中提取主题。建立了具有四个主要主题的层次结构，即文化信仰，缺乏控制力，自我效能感和压力/焦虑感。结果表明，这项研究的学生在自我效能感方面特别挣扎，这可能使他们在健康和福祉方面取得更积极的成果。
