Caregivers in a Child and Youth Care Centre face several challenges that might lead to poor well-being. The well-being of the caregivers can impact the quality of care they offer and their relationship with they care for. Psychosocial support through group music therapy can play a role in improving the well-being of caregivers. This study explores caregivers’ subjective perception and experience of group music therapy on their well-being and the ability to perform daily tasks. Using a case study design, data was collected in the form of semi-structured pre- and post-interviews, as well as video recordings from the group music therapy sessions attended by ten participants. The data was then coded and analysed thematically. Five themes for both the pre- and post-interview sessions were generated. The pre-interview themes focus on caregivers’ calling, roles, responsibilities, professional interactions and challenges. The post-interview themes cover caregivers’ experiences of processes, relationships, caregiving challenges, perceived value and benefits of music therapy, transfer of musical and facilitation skills, as well as release, reflection, and catharsis. Caregiver workload and schedules made it challenging to schedule group sessions, but they nevertheless experienced group music therapy as supportive on personal and professional grounds. ae2025 Music MMus (Music Therapy) Unrestricted SDG-03: Good health and well-being SDG-04: Quality education SDG-08: Decent work and economic growth SDG-10: Reduced inequalities 2023-07-17T13:52:44Z 2023-07-17T13:52:44Z 2023-09 2023 Mini Dissertation Smith, N 2023, The affordances of group music therapy for caregivers’ well-being in a Child and Youth Care Centre, MMus mini-dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed http://hdl.handle.net/2263/91483 S2023 http://hdl.handle.net/2263/91483 DOI: https://doi.org/10.25403/UPresearchdata.23660451.v1 10.25403/UPresearchdata.23660451 © 2023 University of Pretoria.
