CALL FOR RESEARCH PARTICIPANTS
Thank you for considering taking part in my research. I am a Masters student in Performance Science at the Royal College of Music, and am interested in exploring how musicians experience forms of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). To do this, I have developed a short anonymous online survey that should take about 15-20 minutes to complete. In this survey you will be asked anonymous questions about your musical background and your experiences with CBT. The research has received ethical approval from the Conservatoires UK Research Ethics Committee.
Who can take part?
The recruitment criteria for taking part are:
1) that you are a musician (or former musician) with experiences with CBT. You can be a student, professional or a musician who plays as part of a hobby, regardless of age or experience.
2) that you are undergoing or have undergone CBT treatment. There are many approaches to CBT and many forms of delivery (e.g. private/group counselling, computerized CBT, CBT via self-help methods etc.). All forms are valid for the purposes of this research, yet in order to ensure a consistent definition of CBT we are interested in interventions that adhere to the following characteristics:
1.CBT is based on the theory that our thoughts determine our feelings and behaviour and that, therefore, changing the way we think allows us to change the way we feel and behave.
2.CBT is problem-focused and goal-oriented. The emphasis is on the 'now' and the future rather than the past.
3.CBT requires active participation from clients in the form of homework assignments designed to apply the acquired skills from the sessions to real-life situations.
4.Clients are educated about their symptoms and are made aware of strategies to enable positive change
How do I take part?
If you feel that you meet the above criteria and would like to complete the anonymous survey, please follow this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GHVPSZX
