简要总结
This observational cohort study involves repeated cross-sectional observations in order to identify those factors associated with increased risk of PRMDs among music students.
All pre-college and university-level students from several European music academies will receive an invitation to complete a web-based questionnaire survey at each of three occasions (baseline; 6-months follow-up; 12-months follow-up).
详细描述
Professional musicians are exposed to chronic high volume of continuous and repeated physical movements, sometimes in challenging and ergonomically unfavourable anatomical body positions, in order to acquire and improve technical playing skills. As a consequence, musicians are vulnerable to developing adverse playing-related musculoskeletal disorders (PRMDs) that may affect the manner in which and the extent to which music can be practised and performed.
In order to find out effective solutions for PRMDs and to develop future preventive measures, it is fundamental to firstly identify the main risk factors that play a significant role in the development of adverse musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions and symptoms.
The longitudinal cohort study will be conducted through the following three phases:
- a baseline cross-sectional survey (i.e. web-based questionnaire) to characterise the study population and subgroups, and form the basis for the evaluation of associated factors and relationships with the development of PRMDs;
- a 6-months follow-up survey, and
- a 12-months follow-up survey.
After the first baseline data collection (Phase 1), the cohort of students will be broken down into:

结局指标
主要结局
Severity of pain or MSK disorder
时间窗: one month
Respondents are asked to assign a number, from zero (no pain) to ten (the worst possible pain), to the severity of their pain.
Self-rated health (SRH)
时间窗: 12 months
The SHR is a simple measure which is usually assessed as a single-item: "In general, would you say your health is", with the response items "excellent," "very good," "good," "fair," or "poor" to assess health status.
Presence of pain or musculoskeletal (MSK) disorder
时间窗: up to 12 months
The presence of pain and/or MSK problems will be assessed through the following question: "When did you last experience a bout of significant pain and/or musculoskeletal problem?"
Presence of playing-related musculoskeletal disorders (PRMDs)
时间窗: one month
Self reported PRMDs according to the definition: "any pain and/or musculoskeletal problem interfered with students' ability to play their musical instrument at the level to which they are accustomed"
Location of pain
时间窗: one month
Respondents are asked to indicate where they have pain and/or MSK disorders by clicking on the part(s) in which they have or have had their pain and/or MSK problem during the last month.
Pain Disability Index
时间窗: one month
A short, self-report instrument for measuring the degree of interference with normal role functioning caused by pain. The respondent uses an 11-point scale ranging from 0 (no disability) to 10 (total disability) to rate the degree to which pain interferes with functioning in the following seven areas: family/home responsibilities, recreation, social activity, occupation, sexual behavior, self-care, and life-support activity. The total score can range from 0 to 70.to participate in essential life activities.
Quick Dash - Performing Arts Section
时间窗: one week
This questions relate to the impact of your pain on playing students' practice. Respondents rate each item based on their experience over the preceding week on a 5-point Likert-type scale, increasing from 1 to 5 in level of difficulty/severity.
A 2-item short form of the Pain Self-efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ-2)
时间窗: one month
Respondents are asked to rate how confidently they can perform work and normal life activities, despite their pain. They answer by circling a number on a 7-point Likert scale under each item, where 0 = not at all confident and 6= completely confident in the last month.
次要结局
- Internation Physical Activity Questionnaire - short form (IPAQ-SF)(one week)
- Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale - short form (HFMPS-SF)(12 months)
- The Chalder Fatigue Scale (CFQ-11)(one month)
- Standardised Nordic Questionnaire (SNQ)(12 months)
- Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10)(four weeks)
