A national survey was conducted using a representative sample of music therapists who work with older adults. The goals of the survey were: (a) to provide a profile of music therapists working with geriatric clients with respect to professional credentialing, regional membership, age, gender, educational background, salary, and reimbursement practices; (b) to provide a description of assessment practices used by music therapists with geriatric clients; (c) to provide clarification relative to how music therapy practices with elderly clients fit into various settings in which the therapist may be employed; and (d) to identify the types of goals and objectives that are most frequently specified for this population. An 87% response rate yielded 176 usable questionnaires (72% of original sample). Frequency analyses of dichotic and multiple choice responses were conducted and reported as percentages of respondents. Free response items, which were provided as opportunities for clarification and explanation, were presented as a simple frequency count. Comparative analyses between salaried and contractual respondents, and respondents in the eight NAMT regions were not conducted due to unequal sample sizes.
我们对从事老年人工作的音乐治疗师进行了一项全国性调查，采用了具有代表性的样本。该调查的目标如下：(a) 针对老年客户的音乐治疗师，提供有关专业资质、地区会员资格、年龄、性别、教育背景、薪资和报销方式的概况；(b) 描述音乐治疗师对老年客户使用的评估方法；(c) 澄清针对老年客户的音乐治疗实践如何适用于治疗师可能受雇的各种环境；(d) 确定针对该人群最常设定的目标类型。87% 的回复率产生了176份可用问卷（占原始样本的72%）。对二分法和多项选择回复进行了频率分析，并报告为受访者的百分比。作为澄清和解释机会提供的自由回答项目，以简单的频率计数形式呈现。由于样本量不相等，未对受薪和合同制受访者以及八个NAMT地区的受访者进行比较分析。
