This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: While researchers acknowledge broad therapeutic effects of music for patients at the end of life, limited information is available regarding the specific effects of music therapy compared with conversation-based treatment on communication behaviors and predisposition to communicate in hospice patients. Using a pretest-posttest repeated measures design, this study compared the quantity and quality of narrative and conversational advice-giving behaviors as well as the client's predisposition to communicate after both music therapy sessions and conversation-based life review sessions. Ten hospice patients participated in both music therapy and conversation-based life review treatment sessions. Prior to and immediately following both interventions, participants described a Norman Rockwell picture, participated in an advice-giving conversation task, and rated themselves on a Communication Predisposition Scale created by the researcher. Results revealed that participants rated their own willingness to talk significantly more highly after music therapy than after conversation-based life review. In addition, participants participated actively during one or both types of interventions, with more than half of the participants either performing musical activities or conversing at least 50% of the duration time. Statistical analysis of other dependent measures revealed no significant differences in conversation behaviors between treatment conditions; however, positive changes in verbal output in picture description were noted after both music therapy and conversation-based life review interventions, suggesting that both music therapy and conversation-based engagement may facilitate communication with terminally ill patients at the end of life.

This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the quality of life and anxiety/depression level of cancer patients and their families within a hospital setting. Any patient admitted to Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare that met the criteria for this study as determined by the medical personnel, was considered as a potential subject. The music therapy sessions consisted of a song written about the patient and family, live preferred music and counseling to help the patient and family. The experimental and control groups were randomly assigned. The experimental group (N=40), recieved two sessions of music therapy. The first music therapy session was used to gather information that the patient and family wanted to use in the song and also to assess the level of coping. The second music therapy session consisted of giving the patient a copy of the song, and a live performance of the song. The patient and one family member then provided self-report data on the Anxiety/Depression questionnaire, and the Hospice Quality of Life Index questionnaire. One week later, the patient was contacted and asked to fill out the same questionnaires as before and a Songwriting Quesionnaire. The control group (N=40), received one music therapy session consisting of preferred live music and counseling for the patient and family. At the end of each session, the patient and family member completed the Anxiety/Depression questionnaire and the Hospice Quality of Life questionnaire. One week later, the patient was contacted again to complete the same questionnaires as before. The patient Hospice Quality of Life questionnaire showed significantly higher scores for the experimental one-week post session group than the control one-week post session group. The Songwriting Questionnaire filled out only by the experimental subjects, showed a high mean score of 8.5 on a 10 point scale for coping skills.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychiatric, or psychosocial, palliative care has transformed palliative medicine. Palliation that neglects psychosocial dimensions of patient and family experience fails to meet contemporary standards of comprehensive palliative care. While a focus on somatic issues has sometimes overshadowed attention to psychological, existential, and spiritual end-of-life challenges, the past decade has seen an all encompassing, multi-disciplinary approach to care for the dying take hold. Written by internationally known psychiatry and palliative care experts, the Handbook of Psychiatry in Palliative Medicine is an essential reference for all providers of palliative care, including psychiatrists, psychologists, mental health counselors, oncologists, hospice workers, and social workers.

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.

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Twenty-three patients undergoing outpatient chemotherapy at Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare, a regional medical center, participated in this study. After informed consent was obtained, participants supplied demographic data and completed measures for depression, self-efficacy, and tension/anxiety. Heart rate was taken before and after the music and imagery session. Experimental participants chose one of three possible relaxation imagery scripts. The session began with a Progressive Muscle Relaxation and then transitioned into the chosen imagery script. Both sections were read softly by the music therapist and accompanied by live music played softly on a nylon-string guitar. After the session, heart rate was obtained and participants filled out a post-test tension/anxiety measure. A Mann-Whitney U test revealed that experimental participants experienced a significant decrease in tension/anxiety from pre-test to post-test (U= 32.5, c.u.= 33, p=.05). No significant differences were found for heart rate between groups (pre-test HR: U= 57.5, c.u.= 26, p= .05; post-test HR: U=40, c.u.= 26, p= .05). The results confirm that music therapy is effective for anxiety reduction with patients undergoing outpatient chemotherapy.

This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to explore the effectiveness of music therapy relaxation techniques on stress and anxiety levels of music and music therapy students and music and music therapy professionals. Subjects (N=60) were divided into an experimental group and a control group. Half of the subjects participated in a music-assisted relaxation (MAR) session, and the other half of the subjects participated in a relaxation session with no music. Each session consisted of approximately 30 minutes of a relaxation session, with 15 minutes before the session and after the session to fill out the pre- and post-test questionnaires. The relaxation script used, entitled Total Relaxation, comes from 30 Scripts for Relaxation, Imagery, & Inner Healing edited by Julie T. Lusk. The pre- and post-test questionnaires used were the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) (Spielberger, 1983) and the Derogatis Stress Profile (DSP) (Derogatis, 1997). An additional post-test questionnaire determining the level of enjoyment and relaxation using a Likert Scale of 10 degrees was also used. All subjects gave written consent prior to participation in this study. Data results were graphically and statistically analyzed after all subjects participated in one 30-minute relaxation session. Results indicated an overall significant decrease of stress levels in all groups but no significant difference between music and non-music groups.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music therapy is an adjunct healing modality designed to alleviate symptoms of existential pain and suffering hospice patients may experience as they transition into the final stage of life. The complexity of existential pain and suffering in hospice patients is a challenge for a hospice care team to treat and manage and emotionally testing on the patient's support system. The purpose of this scholarly project is to evaluate a music therapy program at a local community hospice center as an aid to relieve patients' existential pain and suffering they incur from their terminal illness and to increase hospice care providers' knowledge about incorporating music therapy as an adjunct healing modality. Bearing witness to patient experience occurred in collaboration with a board-certified music therapist during patient therapy sessions. Jean Watson's Theory of Human Caring Science provides a theoretical framework for developing an education session on music therapy to employ with hospice care providers. Participants of the education sessions discussed the physical effects music has on the body, using music as a healing modality for patients, and caregivers incorporating music as a healing modality. Findings of the developmental evaluation of the education sessions offered indicated the audience of nursing students gained the greatest benefit from the education offered. Future integrations of this scholarly project will allow an advanced nurse practitioner to implement music therapy as a healing modality and incorporate education sessions to meet the needs of a diverse patient population throughout life's transitions.
