Abstract(s)
A Ansiedade de Performance Musical (APM) é um problema prevalente entre os músicos, impactando o seu bem-estar emocional e a qualidade da performance. Este estudo investiga os efeitos do Neurofeedback (NFDK) utilizando Espectroscopia Funcional de Infravermelho Próximo (fNIRS) no bem-estar emocional dos músicos e na perceção da APM. Além disso, examina como o background musical, o tipo de instrumento e os anos de prática influenciam o controlo da ansiedade e a perceção subjetiva da APM. A amostra foi composta por 14 músicos, submetidos a uma sessão de treino com Neurofeedback. A recolha de dados envolveu o Inventário de Ansiedade de Performance Musical de Kenny (K-MPAI), o Questionário Revisto de Controlo da Ansiedade (ACQ-R) e outras medidas de autorrelato. Como esperado, os resultados não indicaram uma redução significativa na APM nem uma melhoria no bem-estar emocional nesta amostra. Músicos com prática extensiva e um background em música clássica não mostraram diferenças no controlo da ansiedade ou nos níveis de APM antes e depois da intervenção, em comparação com os outros indivíduos, com menos experiência e prática. Além disso, o tipo de instrumento não influenciou os níveis de ansiedade nem o resultado do tratamento. É importante interpretar os resultados deste estudo considerando que foi um estudo piloto. Uma vez que a amostra teve apenas uma sessão de Neurofeedback, estes resultados eram esperados. Ainda assim, estes achados sublinham o potencial do Neurofeedback como uma intervenção eficaz relativamente à APM e a importância de realizar estudos futuros, com uma amostra maior, permitindo a análise do impacto das diferenças e características individuais no resultado deste tratamento. Este estudo contribui para a compreensão da APM e para a sua gestão. Pesquisas futuras devem explorar os efeitos a longo prazo do Neurofeedback e a sua aplicação em diferentes contextos musicais.
Music Performance Anxiety (MPA) is a prevalent issue among musicians, impacting their emotional well-being and performance quality. This study investigates the effects of Neurofeedback (NFDK) using functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) on musicians' emotional well-being and perception of MPA. Additionally, it examines how musical background, instrument type, and years of practice influence anxiety control and subjective perception of MPA. The sample comprised 14 musicians, undergoing one session of Neurofeedback training. Data collection involved the Kenny Music Performance Anxiety Inventory (K-MPAI), Anxiety Control Questionnaire Revised (ACQ-R) and other self-report measures. As expected, the results didn’t indicate a significant reduction in MPA and improvement in emotional well-being in this sample. Musicians with extensive practice and a background in classical music showed no differences in the anxiety control or MPA levels before and after the experiment, compared to the other individuals, with less experience and practice. Also, the instrument type didn’t influence anxiety levels or the outcome of the treatment. Having in mind that this was a pilot study is important to interpret the results of this study. Since the sample only had one session of Neurofeedback, these results were expected. Still, these findings underscore the potential of Neurofeedback as an effective intervention for MPA and the importance of conducting future studies, with a greater sample size, in order to analyse more in depth the impact that the individual differences have in the outcome of this treatment. This study contributes to the understanding of MPA and its management. Future research should explore long-term effects of Neurofeedback and its application across diverse musical contexts.
