The dependent variables included a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) anxiety measure, items from the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare and Provider Services/Picket and the facility Music Therapy satisfaction questionnaires. Results of a Two-Way Analysis of Variance with repeated measures revealed significantly lower post-test procedural anxiety between the experimental and control group across procedures after the simulation, the first treatment and the fifth. Patients' overall rating of the experience during each visit was significantly different between groups and across conditions. Overall, music therapy decreased anxiety, especially at the time of the first treatment.

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.
Download or read book The Effect of Live Music on Decreasing Anxiety in Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy Treatment written by Alejandra Judith Ferrer and published by . 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 investigate the effects of familiar live music on the anxiety levels of patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment. Fifty patients randomly selected were assigned to 2 groups: experimental (n=25) and control (n=25). Pre and posttests consisted of questionnaires and the recording of the patient's heart rate and blood pressures. Subjects in the experimental group received 20 minutes of familiar live music during their chemotherapy treatment. Subjects in the control group received standard chemotherapy. It was assumed that those patients receiving music therapy intervention would: a) lower their anxiety levels; b) experience a decrease in heart rate and blood pressure; c) improve their levels of negative reactions including fatigue, worry, and fear; and d) improve their levels of positive reactions including comfort and relaxation. Results of the study showed statistically significant improvement for the experimental group on the measures of anxiety, fear, fatigue, relaxation, and diastolic blood pressure. No significant differences between groups were found for heart rate and systolic blood pressure. Descriptive values indicated that, on average, the experimental group was influenced positively by the music intervention, and participants improved their quality of life while undergoing chemotherapy treatment. The overall results confirmed that music intervention behaved as a powerful independent variable and significantly decreased levels of anxiety, fear, and fatigue, and increased the levels of relaxation for patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment.

Download or read book Cancer Caregivers written by Allison J. Applebaum and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-28 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Informal caregivers - family members, friends, and other loved ones - are an essential, uncompensated and significantly burdened extension of the healthcare team. Rapid advances in cancer care, including new drugs and immunotherapies and more sophisticated diagnostic tools, have markedly improved the ability to medically extend lives and enhance survival. As patients are living longer, with today's shorter hospital stays and shift towards increased outpatient care, however, the demands placed on all caregivers and their needs have substantially increased. Cancer Caregivers reveals the field of Psycho-Oncology's exploration of the depth of complexities of caregiving experiences and identifies the vast expanses left to be understood. This text describes the characteristics and experiences of cancer caregivers based on their life stage, relationship to the patient, and ethnic group membership, as well as patients' disease and treatment type. It highlights the significant progress in research focused on the development and dissemination of psychosocial interventions for cancer caregivers, and includes in-depth case studies to illustrate their delivery and application. The text also explores the provision of support to caregivers in the community and the legal and ethical concerns faced by caregivers throughout the caregiving process. Cancer Caregivers offers both fundamental and practical information and is the essential resource for all healthcare professionals who work with patients and families facing cancer.
