Effects of Music Intervention on Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis in the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration Hospitals

This research focused on the use of music interventions in 54 patients receiving hemodialysis treatments at the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration hospitals. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of live music or music listening interventions on pre and postmeasures of patients’ blood pressure, pulse rate, pain, and anxiety. The results showed significant improvements in blood pressure and pulse rate and statistically significant reductions in pain and anxiety for patients in both music interventions (P < .05). There were no significant differences in these effects between live music intervention and music listening. Both kinds of music interventions were found to significantly reduce the rate of perceived pain and anxiety. It can be summarized that both types of music interventions can be used according to patients’ need and necessity, and concern of budget, personnel, and facility within each hospital are taken into consideration.

The Effects of Music Intervention in the Management of Chronic Pain

A music intervention method in the management of pain was recently developed while taking account of recommendations in the scientific literature. The objective of this study was to assess the usefulness of this music intervention to the management of patients with chronic pain. A controlled, single-blind, randomized trial was used. Eighty-seven patients presenting with lumbar pain, fibromyalgia, inflammatory disease, or neurological disease were included in the study. During their hospitalization, the intervention arm (n=44) received at least 2 daily sessions of music listening between D0 and D10, associated with their standard treatment, and then pursued the music intervention at home until D60 using a multimedia player in which the music listening software program had been installed. The control arm received standard treatment only (n=43). The end points measured at D0, D10, D60, and D90 were: pain (VAS), anxiety-depression (HAD) and the consumption of medication. At D60 in the music intervention arm, this technique enabled a more significant reduction (P<0.001) in pain (6.3 ± 1.7 at D0 vs. 3 ± 1.7 at D60) when compared with the arm without music intervention (6.2 ± 1.5 at D0 vs. 4.6 ± 1.7 at D60). In addition, music intervention contributed to significantly reducing both anxiety/depression and the consumption of anxiolytic agents. These results confirm the value of music intervention to the management of chronic pain and anxiety/depression. This music intervention method appears to be useful in managing chronic pain as it enables a significant reduction in the consumption of medication.

Effects of music intervention on improving the degree of comfort of patients during cardiac intervention surgery

Objective To study the clinical effects of music intervention on improving the degree of comfort of patients during cardiac intervention surgery.Methods A total of 80 patients who were going to undergo elective cardiac intervention were randomly divided into control group(40cases) and (40cases) according to operation time sequence.During cardiac intervention surgery,the patients in control group received routine care and the patients in experimental group received music intervention through supra - aural earphone connected to MP3 on the basis of routine care.At the same time,the scales of SAS and VDS were applied to evaluate the mental state and lumbar and back pain of patients before and during operation.And muscle tonus or difficulty falling asleep were observed and recorded.Results Patients became anxious and uncomfortable 1day before operation and there was no statistic significant difference in the score of SAS and VDS or the cases of uncomfortable reaction between two groups ( P ＞0.05 ).But during operation,the differences were statistic significant ( P ＜ 0.05). The score of SAS,VDS and the uncomfortable response were obviously lower in experimental group compared with control group.Conclusions Music intervention in cardiac intervention surgery can degrade the infaust stimulus of iatrogenic noise and distract the patients ′attention when they are enjoying the music during operation,then ease their anxiety and discomfort,at last raise the degree of comfort. Key words: Music intervention; Cardiac interventional therapy; Degree of comfort

Effects of music intervention with nursing presence and recorded music on psycho‐physiological indices of cancer patient caregivers

To compare the effects of music intervention with nursing presence and recorded music on blood volume pulse amplitude, the low/high frequency ratio component of heart rate variability, depression, anxiety and sleep quality in cancer patient caregivers; to compare the participants evaluation of these two forms of musical intervention. Presence is one of the activities of caring. However, little is known about the effect of music intervention with nursing presence on psycho-physiological indices. Randomised crossover controlled trial. Thirty-four female participants were randomly assigned to a music intervention with nursing presence/recorded music sequence or recorded music/music intervention with nursing presence sequence. Each intervention lasted 30 minutes and was held at the participant's home. The music intervention with nursing presence consisted of an erhu and recorder performance. In the recorded music session, participants listened to prerecorded music for 30 minutes. Continuous measurements of blood volume pulse and low/high frequency ratio were taken throughout the procedure. Depression, anxiety and sleep quality were measured before and after each intervention. Both music intervention with nursing presence and recorded music interventions had beneficial effects on anxiety, depression and blood volume pulse amplitude. Significant differences between the two interventions were also observed for anxiety. Music intervention with nursing presence was more effective in lessening anxiety and on improving the ease of getting to sleep compared with recorded music (p < 0·05). All participants reported that they preferred music intervention with nursing presence to recorded music. Significant differences were found in music evaluation scores between the two interventions in terms of harmony and friendliness (p < 0·05). Both music interventions were beneficial, as measured on psycho-physiological indices. The music intervention with nursing presence provided a more friendly music experience to the listeners. The findings provide evidence for nurses that the therapeutic use of music and nursing presence as a research-based nursing intervention for the welfare of caregivers.

Effects of music intervention on growth and development of premature infants

Objective To explore the effects of music intervention on growth and development of premature infants. Methods 112 premature infants were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group with 56 cases in each. The control group received conventional nursing measures, and the observation group was simultaneously given music intervention besides the conventional routine nursing measures. Weight increase, hospitalization time, milk-intake volume and feeding tolerance were compared between the two groups. Results The weight increase in the observation group was higher than that in the control group. Hospitalization time and rate of feeding intolerance for the observation group was lower compared with that of the control group. The premature infants in the observation group took in more milk than those in the control group. Conclusions Music intervention can elevate feeding tolerance, facilitate nutrition and increase weight of premature infant, so it is beneficial to the growth and development of premature infant.

Effectiveness of music intervention on the quality of life of older people

This paper is a report of a study of the effect of music on the quality of life of community-dwelling older Chinese people in Hong Kong. Older people's quality of life can be improved by preparing for the transition into old age. Listening to music, as a vehicle for feeling, can facilitate the non-verbal expression of emotion, reaching people's inner feelings without being threatening, and it can be a tool for emotional catharsis. A randomized controlled trial design was conducted from in 2007 in a community centre in Hong Kong. A total of 66 older people (31 in music group and 35 in control group), aged from 65 to 90 years were randomly assigned to undergo either a 30-minute music intervention or a rest period for 4 weeks; quality of life outcomes were then measured. Quality of life improved weekly in the music group, indicating a cumulative dose effect, and a statistically significantly better quality of life was found over time in each sub-score for those in the music group compared with the controls. However, in the music group, there were no statistically significant improvements of quality of life in each sub-score over the 4 weeks. Being engaged in music activities can help a person to connect with their life experiences and with other people, and to be more stimulated. Music is a non-invasive, simple and inexpensive therapeutic method of improving quality of life in community-dwelling elders.

The Use of Music Intervention in Healthcare Research

Although music has been widely used in healthcare, there has been scant review of literature analyzing the use of music as an intervention in healthcare research. The purpose of this article was to provide a narrative review of the literature to explore how "music therapy" has been used in healthcare research to promote healing in adult populations. The following five questions were addressed: (a) In what populations and under what conditions has music intervention been studied? (b) What specific kinds of music have been used for study intervention? (c) How has the music intervention been operationalized? (d) What metrics have been used as outcome measures? (e) Have music interventions been effective? Articles were retrieved from several scientific databases (PubMed, CINAHL, and PsycINFO) using the following search parameters: MeSH search terms "music therapy" in the title field with the search limit to "adults 19 years and older," "humans," "clinical randomized controlled studies," and "English." A total of 33 clinical randomized controlled studies that met the search criteria were reviewed. (a) In the reviewed studies (studied articles), subjects with dementia were the most commonly studied population group, and the predominant aim of the study was to alleviate anxiety. (b) Employed music interventions may be categorized as one of two types: passive (receptive) and active. The passive (receptive) music intervention commonly involved subjects in a resting position listening to music, whereas the active music intervention is usually carried out in a group format in which subjects are actively involved in the music intervention. (c) Intervention frequency, dosing, and duration were highly variable across the reviewed studies. Very few studies described the intervention setting, which made evaluation of these studies difficult. Direct supervision seemed to be an influential factor for adherence. (d) Outcome measures in retrieved articles involved two types: psychological and physiological or biological. (e) The effectiveness of music intervention was reported as successful in most of the retrieved studies. Much work has been done on the use of music interventions in the clinical setting. Future research should consider participant music selection preferences, and the selection of active versus passive intervention approach should be based on a clear conceptual framework. Combining both physiological and psychological measures in the study design is a recommended approach to increase measurement validity.

Music intervention on mechanically ventilated patients:a randomized control trial

Objective To examine the effects of music intervention on the physiological variables and the anxiety level of mechanically ventilated patients. Methods A total of 150 patients with mechanical ventilation were randomly divided into the music group, the headphone group and the control group. The patients were investigated by using the C-STAI scale before and after the study period. The indicators including heart rate, respiratory rate,saturation of oxygen and blood pressure were recorded before and after the study period. Results Significant differences were found in state anxiety before and after the test in music group and headphone group (P ＜ 0. 01 ).The difference ( post-pre ) of state anxiety within three groups revealed significant differences ( P ＜ 0. 01 ).Significant differences were found on HR, RR, SBP and DBP before and after the test in music group (P ＜0. 01 ).Conclusions Music and headphone can reduce anxiety in mechanically ventilated patients and the effects of the former are better. Music can steady the heart rate, saturation of oxygen and blood pressure for patients with mechanical ventilation. Key words: Music intervention; Mechanical ventilation; Anxiety; Nursing

Music as a Nursing Intervention for Postoperative Pain: A Systematic Review

The purpose of this systematic review was to examine the effect of music on postoperative pain. A search for scientific articles was conducted using online databases. Included were quantitative studies published from 1998 through 2007 that considered the effect of music interventions on postoperative pain in adult patients. After the search and appraisal of quality, 18 studies were included in the review. The results in 15 of the studies included indicated a significant positive effect of music on postoperative pain. Four studies found that the use of analgesics was lower for the intervention groups. The patients in the studies were scheduled for different kinds of surgery and assessments and the interventions were performed at different times. Various types of music were used, mostly chosen by the researchers. The conclusion is that music can be used as an adjuvant for the relief of postoperative pain.

The Effect of Music Intervention in Relation to Gender During Coronary Angiographic Procedures: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Several studies have evaluated music interventions prior and after coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), but there is no clear evidence showing that music has an effect on patients during these procedures. The purpose was to investigate the effects of music on anxiety, angina, pain, relaxation, and comfort in patients during angiographic procedures and to evaluate gender differences. The study was a four-armed, prospective randomized controlled trial included 240 patients undergoing coronary angiography and/or PCI. Patients were allocated to receive relaxing music, MusiCure or standard care during the procedure. Outcome measures were; puncture pain and the discomfort related to it, angina and the discomfort related to it, anxiety, experience of the sound environment, discomfort of lying still, and the doses of anxiolytics and analgesics during the procedure. No differences were found between the music and control groups regarding any of the trial endpoints or gender-related differences. The overall rating of the sound environment and feeling of relaxation was high. In conclusion, music intervention in patients undergoing angiographic procedures was highly feasible, but not effective in this study though the delivery of music went smoothly and did not disturb the examination and patients and staff alike looked favorably on it.
