다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In adulthood, people with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD) experience difficulties in interacting with others and participating in the community due to overall functional limitations. Therefore, various means and approaches have been explored to overcome social exclusion. This study explored the feasibility of a group music therapy program for social inclusion. This study consisted of two parts. In study 1, an online survey was conducted with service providers (n = 102) who work with people with PIMD to examine their perception of people with PIMD and the need for social inclusion programs. In study 2, a four-session group music therapy program was implemented with 4 people with PIMD, 7 support staff and 2 community members to evaluate feasibility. Survey results indicated that service providers believed people with PIMD possess sufficient capacity to interact with community members and agreed on the importance of social inclusion, although programs requiring close interaction were limited. Implementation of the group music therapy program showed an increase in interactive behavior among the people with PIMD, and positive changes were observed in participants’ perceptions and in relationships among group members. However, because the program consisted of only 4 sessions and was exploratory, these changes were not statistically significant. This study examined service provider’s perceptions and presented the feasibility and potential of group music therapy to promote social inclusion among people with PIMD, support staff and community members.
