About this study
Official title: ALAS PROPIAS Program. Music Therapy, Well-Being and Psychological Health in the Context of Machista Violence in Intimate Partner Relationships: A Triangulation Study
This study evaluates the impact of a 10-session individual music therapy intervention using the Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music (BMGIM) on the well-being and psychological health of professionals working in services supporting women experiencing intimate partner machista violence.
The study uses a controlled, non-randomized quasi-experimental design, with an experimental group and a wait-list control group. Changes in burnout, compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, secondary traumatic stress, anxiety, positive and negative affect, emotional regulation, and professional well-being are assessed.
Read the detailed description
Professionals working in services supporting women experiencing intimate partner machista violence may experience psychological consequences associated with continued exposure to others' traumatic experiences, including burnout, compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, and secondary traumatic stress.
This study examines the impact of an individual music therapy intervention based on the Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music (BMGIM), consisting of 10 individual sessions. Using a controlled, non-randomized quasi-experimental design, outcomes in the experimental group are compared with those in a wait-list control group.
Changes in vicarious trauma and secondary traumatic stress, burnout, compassion fatigue, anxiety, positive and negative affect, emotional regulation, and professional well-being are assessed. The study aims to contribute scientific evidence on the potential of BMGIM music therapy to support the well-being and psychological health of professionals working in contexts of intimate partner machista violence.

The intervention may be offered after the initial data collection, in accordance with the study protocol. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in Burnout
Burnout will be assessed using the Spanish adaptation of the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) (Maslach \& Jackson, 1981; Seisdedos, 1997). Scores at the final assessment will be compared with baseline scores to evaluate changes in burnout among participants in the experimental and wait-list control groups.
Measured: Baseline (T0), Immediate Post-intervention (T1), 3-month Follow-up (T2)
Change in Positive and Negative Affect
Positive and negative affect will be assessed using the Spanish adaptation of the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) (Sandín et al., 1999). Scores at the final assessment will be compared with baseline scores to evaluate changes in positive and negative affect in the experimental and wait-list control groups.
Measured: Baseline (T0), Immediate Post-intervention (T1), 3-month Follow-up (T2)
Change in Psychological Well-Being
Psychological well-being will be assessed using the Spanish adaptation of Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scales (Díaz et al., 2006). Scores at the final assessment will be compared with baseline scores to evaluate changes in psychological well-being in the experimental and wait-list control groups.
Measured: Psychological well-being will be assessed using the Spanish adaptation of Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scales (Díaz et al., 2006). Scores at the final assessment will be compared with baseline scores to evaluate changes in psychological well-being in
Change in Professional Quality of Life
Professional quality of life will be assessed using the Spanish adaptation of the Professional Quality of Life Scale, version 5 (ProQOL-5) (Galiana et al., 2020). Scores at the final assessment will be compared with baseline scores to evaluate changes in professional quality of life in the experimental and wait-list control groups.
Measured: Baseline (T0), Immediate Post-intervention (T1), 3-month Follow-up (T2)
Change in Secondary Traumatic Stress
Secondary traumatic stress will be assessed using the Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale (STSS) (Guerra \& Saiz, 2007). Scores at the final assessment will be compared with baseline scores to evaluate changes in secondary traumatic stress in the experimental and wait-list control groups.
Measured: Baseline (T0), Immediate Post-intervention (T1), 3-month Follow-up (T2)
