This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of music therapy interventions on grief and spirituality of family members of patients in a hospice setting. The subjects (N = 60) were the family members or significant others of hospice patients who had been in the hospice program for at least 2 weeks. The subjects were divided into a control group (N = 30), the family members of patients previously with no music therapy visit, and an experimental group (N = 30), the family members of patients receiving music therapy interventions. Three imminent patients were also included in both groups. A self-report questionnaire was used for a post-test only in this study and had 5 categories: grief, coping strategies, spirituality, satisfaction with hospice care, and satisfaction for family members' or significant other's perceptions of the loved one's quality of life (QOL). A multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was applied to analyze data in each subtest. There was a significant difference in mean scores of QOL between the control and experimental groups. Although the mean scores of grief and spirituality in the experimental group were higher than the scores of those with no music therapy, a significant difference was not found in the 4 subtests. However, there was a tendency that those who received music therapy showed higher scores than those who did not in each subtest. In addition, the mean scores of family members of imminent patients were much higher than those with no music therapy in all 5 categories. The results in this study support that music has a potential to provide a positive influence for patients and their family members in a hospice setting. Further quantitative research for family members of imminent patients were suggested to provide better music therapy services in a hospice and palliative care.

This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Current research shows the numerous benefits of music therapy techniques within hospice settings. However, there is little research to show us how often these techniques are differentiated or employed within hospice settings. The purpose of this study is to examine how music therapists working in the hospice field apply music therapy techniques and how their education has prepared them to do so. A web-based survey was sent out via email to the 82 hospice music therapists who were members of the American Music Therapy Association (AMTA). Only 39 of these music therapists completed the survey, a return rate of 49%. Respondents reported the most commonly employed music therapy technique to be validation. They also indicated that they felt most prepared to use patient instrument play based on education emphasis in their college coursework. Musical repertoire building was shown to be the most helpful aspect of the music therapy curriculum that applied to clinical hospice practice. Survey results indicated a high demand for more curricular emphasis on the techniques of bereavement and grief counseling.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are currently facing very challenging times. Through the COVID-19 pandemic, death and dying came very close to everybody, regardless of age or cultural background. Many people had to face the sudden, often unexpected passing of a dear person. Death breaks into people ́s lives, not asking, if they are prepared for it or if it is the right time. Many questions arise with this fact, and one of them often is the concern of how to die with dignity when the end of life is nearing. Dying in dignity is a concern of palliative care, which aims to care and not to cure, focusing on the life quality of a patient who is facing the last days of their life. Sound and music can play an important role in this process. This book is meant to encourage all those working in a palliative care team to consider music as a powerful tool in dealing with the challenges surrounding the end of life. The book will inspire the reader to examine the healing power of sound and music more deeply and serves as a useful support for students in palliative care approaches.

Download or read book The Effects of Original Songwriting in Music Therapy Sessions on the Hospice Experience and Bereavement Process of Patients and Their Families written by Jill Christine Anderson and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects that music therapy, and songwriting in particular, have on the family members of hospice patients. Participants (N=8) were chosen from an available group of families who experienced songwriting in hospice care, whether the patient wrote all or part of a song, or the family wrote a song about the patient. Individual interviews were conducted with each participant, and each participant answered a series of questions regarding their hospice experience, their perception of their loved one's experience, their bereavement, and their experience with music therapy. Results showed that families found hospice overall to be a very positive experience, and that music therapy played a large role in all their perceptions of hospice care. All participants initiated discussion of music therapy and their family's song early in the interview, and all had many positive things to say about the music therapist, the song, and the meaning the song had for them and their family. In the majority of cases, the song written in music therapy was played at the memorial or funeral service. Other common themes noted were that for many, the song sent a message, embodied their loved one, or gave their loved one a sense of purpose. Many of the participants knew nothing or little of music therapy prior to their experience in hospice, and they all found it to be rewarding, and much more involved than they expected. Many of the participants still listen to the song, although a few indicated that it was difficult for them or that they could not listen to it yet. However, they all said that the song has a special meaning for them.
