This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transition to a nursing home can be a challenging period for older adults with high risk for negative outcomes, including depression, anxiety, and fear. However, few studies to date have examined psychosocial interventions for improving adaptation during the transition of older adults to nursing homes. Music therapy is one psychosocial intervention with potential to enhance related protective factors because it emphasizes individual strengths by leveraging culture-specific resources, facilitates relationships and a sense of belonging through joint music making, and provides opportunities to process and make sense of one's experiences in the "new normal" through sharing of music-related emotions. The purpose of this study was to explore the perspectives of older adult long-term care residents, their care team staff, and their music therapists to develop a conceptual framework for the role of music therapy in older adults' transition and adjustment to nursing homes. This study used a grounded theory approach. Seventeen participants, including 10 residents, four care staff, and three music therapists, completed a total of 19 interviews about residents' experiences with music, with music therapy, and with moving in and adjusting to long-term care. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed using open, axial, and selective coding. The resulting Music Therapy in Transition to Long-Term Care model describes a progression of qualities and benefits of music therapy that leads to residents "feeling their best self." Related categories include: Music therapy is accessible and engaging; Music therapy is personal and meaningful; Music therapy acts as a bridge to other resources; Music therapy facilitates transformation; and Music therapy facilitates community integration. This Music Therapy in Transition to Long-Term Care model emphasizes a holistic and integrated understanding of and approach to transition-related needs. It highlights the process of transformation and change that is part of the adjustment process and provides a foundation for clinical assessment and interventions. This model suggests that the unique role of music therapy in transition includes its ability to reach residents earlier and at a more meaningful level than many other activities or support opportunities, and to help make other supportive opportunities more effective. Future research is needed for continued testing and refining of this theory.

One in four people aged 85 and over will have different forms of dementia by the end of the year 2050. However, in the year of 2013, this fatal psychological disease lead to 1.7 million annual deaths, whereas in 1990; there were only 0.8 million deaths per annum due to dementia; which indicates that the rate of affected patients and case fatality rate are increasing gradually. Music therapy is a quick form of non-pharmacological, non-invasive intervention for the rising number of demented patients besides the medical as well as pharmacological intervention. Because these traditional interventions have proven their ineffectiveness and handled to side effects of medicine in demented patients. Nationwide, about 10% of the population, develop dementia at some point in their lives. It is a common form of brain defects which occur due to the ageing process and genetic abnormalities. Approximately half of the entire dementia population is over 85 years old and over. 3% individuals aged between 65–74 years have dementia in 2016; whereas 19% people with this disease aged between 75 - 84 years, which indicates that the percentage of individuals who are getting dementia is proportionate to the gradual increase of their age. By the blessings of modern medicine where more people are living longer, dementia is becoming more and more common in the population which overrides the percentage of cardiac illness, hypertension and other neurological age-related problems. Furthermore, for individuals with a younger age group, dementia is less frequent in the developing countries. Due to decrease risk factors and caring environment for the elderly persons, more carer within the family, family values and morals; dementia has not taken it tolls in countries like Bangladesh. Dementia is an excellent cause of disability among the old in various parts of the world. This fatal disease has increased the economic burden by which costs of care increases by USD 604 billion a year worldwide in 2010.

Download or read book Impact of Music Therapy on Depressive Symptoms of People Living in Nursing Homes written by Jessica Conti and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BACKGROUND: While depression is common among the older population, it is not something that is easily diagnosed or treated. Primary treatment for depression includes pharmacological treatment, however, there are many non-pharmacological treatments such as music therapy that can be implemented to help depression. The research surrounding music therapy on depression can provide insight to people who are in nursing homes that exhibit depression. PURPOSE: To investigate the impact of music therapy on nursing home residents with depression. DESIGN AND METHODS: The literature search was conducted using online databases, PubMed, CINAHL, and PsycINFO by applying the key terms ("depression" OR "depressive symptoms" OR "depressive disorder") AND ("music therapy OR music intervention") AND ("nursing home"). The search was limited to articles published between 2013 and 2021 to include the most recent studies and focused on older adult populations. Ten articles were selected to be included in this systematic review. RESULTS: Current evidence suggests that music therapy can help reduce depressive symptoms in older adults that reside in nursing homes. DISCUSSION: It is important for future nurses to identify the options for nonpharmacological treatment such as music therapy when warranted. Music therapy offers a number of benefits and the results from this systematic review suggest that music could be implemented as a complimentary therapy. People who are in nursing homes specifically may be at increased risk of experiencing depression or depressive symptoms. Healthcare professionals can use the information from this systematic review to further develop and establish a safe individualized plan of care for their patients. Exploring nonpharmacological options, specifically, music therapy in settings like nursing homes can promote health and better manage depression.

Download or read book Music and Dementia written by Sandra Garrido and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2019-09-16 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dementia is the most significant health issue facing our aging population. With no cure to date, there is an urgent need for the development of interventions that can alleviate symptoms of dementia and ensure optimal well-being for people with dementia and their caregivers. There is accumulating evidence that music is a highly effective, non-pharmacological treatment for various symptoms of dementia at all stages of disease progression. In its various forms, music (as a medium for formal therapy or an informal activity) engages widespread brain regions, and in doing so, can promote numerous benefits, including triggering memories, enhancing relationships, affirming a sense of self, facilitating communication, reducing agitation, and alleviating depression and anxiety. This book outlines the current research and understanding of the use of music for people with dementia, from internationally renowned experts in music therapy, music psychology, and clinical neuropsychology.
Download or read book Integrating the IPad Into Music Therapy Interventions for Older Adults in Long Term Care written by Miya Lital Adout and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research was to re-design traditional music therapy interventions for older adults who reside in long-term care who have impaired physical mobility by integrating the iPad into these interventions. A modified approach to intervention design was used for this study. Literature containing research and theoretical evidence as well as the researcher’s practical experience were used to identify risk factors and also to suggest a relationship between the proposed mechanisms of change and therapeutic outcomes. Interventions from two different music experience categories were chosen based on identifying malleable mediators (i.e., aspects of the intervention that could be changed using the iPad to facilitate clients’ participation). These two interventions were re-designed using features of the iPad to address the identified barriers. Limitations of the research, potential implications for practice, research, and training are discussed.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A family-centered approach is becoming more widely used in the treatment of hospitalized children. In general, the involvement of the family is becoming more of a focus during the treatment process in music therapy. Medical music therapy research has grown that examines the benefits of using music therapy in medical settings. However, there are few studies that examine the individual perspectives of children and parents experiencing hospitalization, and how family-centered music therapy addresses these specific, expressed needs. The aim of this systematic review is to examine the needs of parents and children in order to support the use of family-centered music therapy care in children's hospitals and to further family-centered music therapy research. Thorough database searches were used to gather data for this review, which was then synthesized in order to create common themes. These themes reflect how researchers should approach future endeavors to understand the hospitalization experience and how family-centered music therapy studies should be conducted." -- Page 4

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Research Topic is the second volume of Music Therapy in Geriatrics. Please find the first Edition here. Demographic projections estimate that by 2050, the number of people aged 65 and older in the world will soar to 1.5 billion, approximately one-third of the total population. Medical and technological advances have certainly contributed to enhanced longevity. However, with advanced age, there is a concomitant elevation in the prevalence of chronic diseases. The Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion in the U.S. found that in 2012, 60% of older adults reported at least two of the following conditions: Cancer, heart disease, emphysema or chronic bronchitis, stroke, diabetes mellitus, and Alzheimer’s disease. These diagnoses carry the extensive costs and burdens of serious illnesses, and also mean that family caregivers of loved ones with these conditions experience significant challenges, placing them at extreme risk for a variety of stress-related illnesses and afflictions, and accounting for high rates of morbidity and mortality.

Book excerpt: Music for Life: Music Participation and Quality of Life of Senior Citizens presents a fresh, new exploration of the impact of musical experiences on the quality of life of senior citizens, and charts a new direction in the facilitation of the musical lives of people of all ages. Authors Fung and Lehmberg clearly define the issues surrounding music education, music participation, quality of life, and senior citizens, discussing the most relevant research from the fields of music education, adult learning, lifelong learning, gerontology, medicine, music therapy, and interdisciplinary studies. At the heart of the book is Evergreen Town, a retirement community in the southeastern U.S.A., that serves as the backdrop for three original research studies. The first of these is in two phases, a survey and a focus group interview, that examines the histories and rationales for the music participations and non-participations of community residents. The second and third case studies take an in-depth look at a church choir and a bluegrass group, two prominent musical groups in the community, and include the perspectives of the authors themselves as group members and participant-observers. Fung and Lehmberg conclude with a challenge for the profession of music education: to act on this research and on the current advances in the field, to enable all people to benefit from the richness of music as a substantial contributor to quality of life.
