The ALAS PROPIAS Program includes a methodological study to develop and psychometrically validate a structured questionnaire for music therapists. The questionnaire aims to assess music therapists' knowledge, professional competencies, and training needs regarding machista violence in intimate partner relationships, trauma, mental health, and psychological well-being. The study will use a cross-sectional, non-experimental design, with data collected through a self-administered online questionnaire. An expert panel will assess the relevance, clarity, coherence, and pertinence of the questionnaire items. The resulting instrument is intended to help identify training needs and areas for improvement in music therapy practice in this field.
