Previous studies have shown the benefits of group therapeutic songwriting (GTSW) in the quality of life and well-being of caregivers of people with dementia. The objective of this study was to explore the experience of caregivers in a collaborative process of songwriting. Twenty-one caregivers divided into three groups received 12 60-min GTSW sessions led by a qualified music therapist. Inductive thematic analysis was used to analyze open-question questionnaires, a focus group, the last session video, and song lyrics. Four themes emerged: (1) GTSW generates a sense of connection, (2) it is a motivating, empowering, and meaningful experience, (3) it promotes emotional connection in a personal space, and (4) it increases well-being. Qualitative findings suggest that GTSW is a therapeutic tool that promotes caregivers’ connectivity, expression of emotions, and well-being. Limitations and suggestions for future research are discussed.

先前的研究表明，集体治疗性歌曲创作（GTSW）在痴呆症患者的生活质量和看护者的福祉方面的优势。这项研究的目的是在歌曲创作的协作过程中探索护理人员的经验。分为三组的21名护理人员在合格的音乐治疗师的带领下参加了12次60分钟的GTSW会话。归纳主题分析用于分析开放式问题问卷，焦点小组，最后一段视频和歌曲歌词。出现了四个主题：（1）GTSW产生一种联系感；（2）它是一种激励，授权和有意义的体验；（3）它促进了个人空间中的情感联系；（4）它增加了幸福感。定性研究结果表明，GTSW是一种治疗工具，可以促进护理人员之间的联系，表达情感和幸福。讨论了未来研究的局限性和建议。
