Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Application-Supported Preventive Advice on Student Musicians' Health
Sponsor: Anne-Violette Bruyneel
Summary
Student musicians are particularly vulnerable to both physical and psychological health issues, with studies showing that 38% report pain from musical practice and over 50% experience high stress. Despite these risks, health resources tailored specifically to student musicians remain limited. This study aims to address this gap by testing a preventive, digital intervention to improve the well-being of this population. The intervention, delivered via a smartphone or tablet app, is designed to accommodate the unique demands of student musicians, such as frequent travel and time constraints. It includes health education, self-assessment tools, preventive health behavior advice, and interactive games designed to promote healthier work habits, daily routines, and overall health knowledge.
