Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a song-focused group music therapy program on the emotional labor and burnout of caregivers. The subjects include 21 care workers at the support center for care workers for the elderly in Seoul. The experiment and control group consisted of 11 and 10, respectively. A song-focused group music therapy program was applied to the experiment group with an 80-minute session per week in total 18 sessions. Both the groups were tested with emotional labor and burnout inventories before and after the program to test the effects of song-focused group music therapy. The study also analyzed the subjects’ verbal responses based on song data. The test results were as follows: first, the experiment group showed significant differences in total scores of emotional labor from the control group, making a significant reduction in two subfactors of emotional labor, attention to emotional expressions and emotional disharmony. Secondly, the experiment group also showed significant differences in total burnout scores from the control group, making significant score changes in all the subareas(emotional exhaustion, dehumanization, and personal sense of achievement) of burnout. These findings imply that song-focused group music therapy can be an effective intervention plan to have positive effects on the mitigation of caregivers’ emotional labor and burnout and are expected to contribute to a group music therapy program for Caregivers.
