This controlled, prospective, randomized study examined the clinical and potential economic impact of a 6-session Recreational Music-making (RMM) protocol on burnout and mood dimensions, as well as on Total Mood Disturbance (TMD) in an interdisciplinary group of long-term care workers.
A total of 112 employees participated in a 6-session RMM protocol focusing on building support, communication, and interdisciplinary respect utilizing group drumming and keyboard accompaniment. Changes in burnout and mood dimensions were assessed with the Maslach Burnout Inventory and the Profile of Mood States respectively. Cost savings were projected by an independent consulting firm, which developed an economic impact model.
Statistically-significant reductions of multiple burnout and mood dimensions, as well as TMD scores, were noted. Economic-impact analysis projected cost savings of $89,100 for a single typical 100-bed facility, with total annual potential savings to the long-term care industry of $1.46 billion.
A cost-effective, 6-session RMM protocol reduces burnout and mood dimensions, as well as TMD, in long-term care workers.
本对照、前瞻性、随机研究探讨了为期6节的娱乐性音乐制作（RMM）方案对长期护理工作者这一跨学科群体的倦怠和情绪维度以及总情绪紊乱（TMD）的临床和潜在经济影响。
共有112名员工参与了为期6节的RMM方案，该方案通过集体击鼓和键盘伴奏来建立支持、沟通和跨学科尊重。分别使用马氏倦怠量表和情绪状态剖面图评估倦怠和情绪维度的变化。一家独立咨询公司预测了成本节约情况，该公司开发了一个经济影响模型。
发现多个倦怠和情绪维度以及TMD分数有统计学意义的降低。经济影响分析预测，对于一个典型的拥有100张床位的单一设施，成本节约为89,100美元，长期护理行业每年的潜在总节约为14.6亿美元。
一个具有成本效益的、为期6节的RMM方案可降低长期护理工作者的倦怠和情绪维度以及TMD。
