Mapping review of musician well-being literature

While musician health literature has grown significantly in the past three decades, a holistic understanding of musician well-being remains lacking. This mapping review aimed to create a topographical review of existing literature on musician well-being to identify key knowledge gaps. This review sought to identify the aspects of musician well-being that have recently been studied, the musician populations that have been studied, and the study designs that have been used to assess musician well-being. This mapping review design was informed by the Focused Mapping Review and Synthesis (FMRS) approach. Studies were categorized and visualized based on study design, type of musician sampled (i.e., profession, instrument, musical genre), and well-being determinants, using the Ecology of Musical Performance (EMP) Model as a foundational framework. This review found that the majority of well-being studies identified focused on musculoskeletal health. Additionally, few intervention studies were identified, and all involved samples of music students in intervention studies were in K-12 or higher education programs. While the EMP model proposes a holistic approach to understanding musician well-being, many crucial well-being determinants highlighted by the model have not been recently studied within the musician health research. Addressing these gaps will provide a more comprehensive foundation for improving the health and well-being of all musicians.

尽管近三十年来，音乐家健康相关研究文献数量显著增长，但学界对音乐家福祉的整体性认知仍存在空白。本映射综述（mapping review）旨在对现有音乐家福祉相关研究文献开展系统性梳理，以明确其中存在的核心知识盲区。本次综述旨在梳理近期已被研究的音乐家福祉维度、涉及的音乐家群体，以及用于评估音乐家福祉的研究设计类型。本映射综述的研究设计参考了聚焦式映射综述与合成法（Focused Mapping Review and Synthesis, FMRS）。本研究以音乐表演生态模型（Ecology of Musical Performance, EMP）为基础框架，根据研究设计、采样音乐家的类型（即职业、演奏乐器、音乐流派）以及福祉影响因素，对现有研究进行分类与可视化呈现。本次综述发现，已纳入的福祉相关研究中，绝大多数聚焦于肌肉骨骼健康领域。此外，本次综述仅检索到少量干预类研究，且所有干预研究的采样对象均为K12或高等教育阶段的音乐专业学生。尽管音乐表演生态模型（EMP）提出了理解音乐家福祉的整体性研究路径，但该模型所强调的诸多关键福祉影响因素，在当前音乐家健康研究领域尚未得到近期的相关探讨。填补这些研究空白，将为全面提升全体音乐家的健康与福祉水平奠定更为完善的理论基础。
