Book Effects of Music Therapy Vs  Music Medicine on Physiological and Psychological Parameters of Intensive Care Patients

Download or read book Effects of Music Therapy Vs Music Medicine on Physiological and Psychological Parameters of Intensive Care Patients written by Carol Lee Shultis and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This randomized controlled trial examined the effects of Music Therapy (MT), Music Medicine (MM), or Attention Control (AC) on physiological and psychological parameters of stress for adult and older adult patients receiving care in the Intensive Care Unit of a community general hospital. Previous studies have indicated effectiveness of music therapy or music medicine for these medical patients, but few data are available for music therapy interventions. This study was an attempt to add to available information about the effects of music therapy compared to the effects of music medicine or attention control for this patient population. Participants (twenty-eight adults, ranging in age from 37-83 years; not mechanically ventilated at the time of session) were randomly assigned to music therapy, music medicine or the attention control group. Repeated measures of heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and anxiety and pain levels were collected before the session, immediately after the session and at 60 minutes post-session. Anxiety was measured using the Faces Anxiety Scale, and pain was self-reported via a Visual Analog Scale. Post-session length of stay was collected from the participants' medical records. Overall, there were no significant interactions among study groups and outcome measures. There was a statistically significant difference between length of stay for music therapy participants and attention control. Over time from pre-session to post-session, statistically significant decreases in anxiety scores were measured for both music medicine and music therapy groups. Pain scores decreased for both music medicine and music therapy groups, however not significantly. Some medically beneficial effects of music therapy or music medicine were evident in the data.

Book The Effects of Music Therapy on Comfort in the Mechanically Ventilated Patient in the Intensive Care Unit

Download or read book The Effects of Music Therapy on Comfort in the Mechanically Ventilated Patient in the Intensive Care Unit written by Jamie Marie Besel and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this pilot study was to assess the effects of music therapy on comfort in acute mechanically ventilated patients in the Intensive Care Unit. Mechanical ventilation leads to decreased comfort. Pain and anxiety may increase during this treatment modality, and the literature suggests this may directly affect patient comfort levels. Music therapy as a nursing intervention within the context of comfort, pain, and anxiety of mechanically ventilated patients was investigated. This quasi-experiemental study used a pre-test and post-test design with subjects serving as their own control. The convenience sample consisted of 2 men and 3 women who were mechanically ventilated and fit the selection criteria. Dependent variables measured included comfort, pain, and anxiety. Physiologic dependent measures included heart rate, respiratory rate, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure collected at timed intervals. Comfort was measured using a modified version of the Hospice Comfort Questionnaire. Pain was measured using the Numerical Graphic Rating Pain Scale. Anxiety was measured using the Faces Anxiety Scale. Important preliminary quantitative results are provided by this pilot study. The mean, standard deviation, significance, and paired t-tests were compared for each tool to determine changes in scoring before and after the intervention and control. This was also completed for physiological data including systolic and diastolic blood pressure, respiratory rate, and heart rate. Paired t-tests showed no significant mean differences between two points of measurement on systolic, diastolic, heart rate, and respiratory rate in both the intervention and control groups. Comfort, anxiety, and pain scores before and after the intervention and control also did not demonstrate significance. The small sample size makes generalization of these findings impossible to the entire population of acute mechanically ventilated patients in Billings, Montana.

Book Music Therapy Intervention

Download or read book Music Therapy Intervention written by Sara Trampe and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patients coming into a facility for invasive procedures often times have a high level of anxiety about the procedure and the outcome, (Ghetti, 2012). Based on research studies, the theory of music therapy intervention can reduce the patient's anxiety before and during an invasive procedure, (Bradt, Dileo and Shim, 2013). Music is a welcome distraction proven to help the patient relax, lower blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate and cover up environmental noise, (Comeaux and Steele-Moses, 2013). Data reveals some patients need less sedation and pain medication to lessen base-line vital signs and anxiety levels if music therapy is used, (Matsota, Christodoulopoulou, Smyrnioti, Pandazi, Kanellopoulos, Koursoumi, E., and others, 2013). By implementing music therapy in phases through out the facility, education can be audited through the PDCA model, Plan Do Check Act for process improvement. Starting in the preoperative preparation area for patients having heart catheterizations will allow ample control over the study with less staff to train in the start of the project. This plan allows for the implementer to oversee the study with the assistance of the research committee. Patients will be educated on the trial when checking in for the procedure and given an option to participate. A VAS-A, Visual Analog Scale for Anxiety will be used before and after the procedure, (Abend, Dan, Maoz, Raz, and Bar-Haim, 2014). Patient satisfaction scores will be analyzed before and after the trial. The ultimate goal is to improve patient satisfaction scores by reducing level of anxiety, with the added benefit of possibly lowering cost per case. As evidence of less sedation involved allowing the patient to be dismissed sooner, (Bernatzky, Presch, Anderson and Panksepp, 2011).

Book Handbook of Music and Emotion

Download or read book Handbook of Music and Emotion written by Patrik N. Juslin and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2011-03-17 with total page 1983 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music's ability to express and arouse emotions is a mystery that has fascinated both experts and laymen at least since ancient Greece. The predecessor to this book 'Music and Emotion' (OUP, 2001) was critically and commercially successful and stimulated much further work in this area. In the years since publication of that book, empirical research in this area has blossomed, and the successor to 'Music and Emotion' reflects the considerable activity in this area. The Handbook of Music and Emotion offers an 'up-to-date' account of this vibrant domain. It provides comprehensive coverage of the many approaches that may be said to define the field of music and emotion, in all its breadth and depth. The first section offers multi-disciplinary perspectives on musical emotions from philosophy, musicology, psychology, neurobiology, anthropology, and sociology. The second section features methodologically-oriented chapters on the measurement of emotions via different channels (e.g., self report, psychophysiology, neuroimaging). Sections three and four address how emotion enters into different aspects of musical behavior, both the making of music and its consumption. Section five covers developmental, personality, and social factors. Section six describes the most important applications involving the relationship between music and emotion. In a final commentary, the editors comment on the history of the field, summarize the current state of affairs, as well as propose future directions for the field. The only book of its kind, The Handbook of Music and Emotion will fascinate music psychologists, musicologists, music educators, philosophers, and others with an interest in music and emotion (e.g., in marketing, health, engineering, film, and the game industry). It will be a valuable resource for established researchers in the field, a developmental aid for early-career researchers and postgraduate research students, and a compendium to assist students at various levels. In addition, as with its predecessor, it will also attract interest from practising musicians and lay readers fascinated by music and emotion.
