Abstract: |
Recreational music-making has been shown to reduce stress and increase feelings of well-being and empowerment among diverse groups; however, evidence to document the effects has been mixed. This exploratory study investigated a measure of well-being, empowerment, and connectedness after a group recreational drumming intervention with social workers. An exploratory factor analysis was conducted to determine the construct validity of a measure developed for gauging intrapersonal and interpersonal well-being using a sample of 73 participants, enrolled in a MSW-level social work research course, who engaged in a 2-hour group recreational drumming programme. Factor analysis suggested that intrapersonal and interpersonal well-being were present. The authors concluded that recreational group drumming had utility for social workers seeking to improve well-being and increase empowerment. Implications for use of the measure with recreational drumming are discussed. |
