Résumé

Le point de vue des parents et leurs attentes à l'égard de la musicothérapie ont été précédemment rapportés dans la littérature. Cependant, les recherches sur les perceptions des parents concernant la musicothérapie familiale à long terme centrée sur la famille font défaut. Cette étude qualitative examine les expériences de mères d'enfants autistes ayant participé à un programme de musicothérapie centré sur la famille d'une durée minimale de trois ans. Au moyen d'entretiens semi-structurés avec sept mères et en employant l'analyse thématique réflexive, cette étude vise à comprendre les manières nuancées dont ces parents ont vécu la musicothérapie à long terme pour leur enfant et leur famille. Deux thèmes principaux ont émergé de l'analyse, chacun comportant des sous-thèmes associés. Le thème 1 - La musicothérapie à long terme favorise le bien-être subjectif de l'enfant et de la famille - comprend trois sous-thèmes : (a) partager la joie par des interactions musicales soutient le bien-être ; (b) une occasion pour l'enfant d'être lui-même ; et (c) la musique comme soutien à la vie quotidienne. Le thème 2 - Les parents ont perçu des changements dans le développement de leur enfant - comprend six sous-thèmes : (a) se concentrer sur l'enfant dans sa globalité ; (b) soutenir le développement cognitif ; (c) soutenir les compétences sociales ; (d) soutenir les compétences émotionnelles ; (e) soutenir la conscience corporelle ; et (f) développer les forces et les ressources de l'enfant. Ces mères ont indiqué que les séances de musicothérapie à long terme avec leur enfant les ont aidées à éprouver un sentiment de soulagement et de catharsis, ce qui, selon elles, les a aidées à faire face aux difficultés qu'elles rencontraient en s'adaptant à la trajectoire développementale différente de leurs enfants. De plus, l'analyse des entretiens avec les parents révèle leur perception selon laquelle la musicothérapie à long terme peut renforcer le bien-être familial en facilitant l'expression émotionnelle et en tirant parti des forces de l'enfant. Cette étude qualitative met donc en évidence les bénéfices potentiels multiples de la musicothérapie à long terme, fournissant des éclairages précieux sur son rôle possible dans l'amélioration de la vie des enfants autistes et de leurs familles.

The perspective of parents and their expectations of music therapy have been previously reported in the literature. However, research into parent perceptions of long-term family-centered music therapy is lacking. This qualitative study delves into the experiences of mothers with autistic children who engaged in a minimum three-year-long, family-centered music therapy program. Through semi-structured interviews with seven mothers, employing Reflexive Thematic Analysis, this study aims to comprehend the nuanced ways these parents experienced long-term music therapy for their child and family. Two main themes emerged from the analysis, each with related subthemes. Theme 1-Long-term music therapy fosters subjective well-being in the child and family, includes three subthemes: (a) sharing joy through musical interactions supports well-being; (b) an opportunity for the child to be themselves; and (c) music as a support for daily life. Theme 2-Parent perceived changes to their child's development, includes six subthemes: (a) focusing on the whole child; (b) supporting cognitive development; (c) supporting social skills; (d) supporting emotional skills; (e) supporting body awareness; and (f) developing child strengths and resources. These mothers shared that long-term music therapy sessions with their child supported them to experience a sense of relief and catharsis, which they considered helped them to cope with the challenges they faced when adapting to the different developmental path of their children. Additionally, the analysis of the parent interviews reveals their perceptions that long-term music therapy can bolster family well-being by facilitating emotional expression and capitalizing on the child's strengths. This qualitative study therefore highlights the potential multifaceted benefits of long-term music therapy, providing valuable insights into its possible role in enhancing the lives of autistic children and their families.
