Filter by:1. OBJECTIVES: General objective: Assess the effects of a music therapy intervention during the weaning from the mechanical ventilation in a group of patients, and compare it to the usual clinical practice. Specific objectives: Main objective: assess the effect of a music therapy intervention on the length of the weaning in a group of critical patients, and compare it to a group of critical patients who receive the usual clinical practice. Secondary objectives: - Compare the levels of sedo-analgesia required in critical patients receiving the music therapy intervention during the process of weaning versus the levels of sedo-analgesia required by the control group. - Compare the Anxiety-agitation level in critical patients receiving the music therapy intervention during the process of weaning, versus the anxiety-agitation leved felt by the control group. - Compare the level of pain in critical patients receiving the music therapy intervention during the weaning versus the level of the pain felt by the control group. - Compare the level of delirium in critical patients receiving music therapy during the weaning versus the level of delirium of the control group. - Compare heart and breath frequency, blood pressure and oxygen saturation in critical patients receiving music therapy during the mechanical ventilation extubation (weaning) process, versus the index of control group. - Compare the stress perceived in critical patients receiving music therapy intervention during the mechanical extubation process, versus the level of the control group, which receives the usual medical care (without intervention with music therapy), 90 days after Inico of the process, Perceived the Stress Scale (PSS). - Describe and analyze the experience by the patient of the intervention with music therapy the weaning process and the coping strategies possible for musicotherapeutic intervention, using a Semi-instructed interview that takes place at 90 days beginning the process. 2. DESIGN: single blind clinical trial in parallel groups, single blind clinical trial. 3. POPULATION of this study are patients who initiate weaning for ventilation mechanics.
Introduction Sleeping problems experienced by cancer patients carers are frequent with 72% of carers reporting moderate to severe problems. Another consequence for this carers is the increase of suffering from depression and it is usually associated to carer overload. Objectives Main objective: - To evaluate the effects of listening to music in sleep quality for oncology patients non-professional carers at home, and to evaluate the influence of specific factors that may modify that effect. Secondary objectives: - To assess the relationship between the waking state and the consequences during the day according to sleep characteristics. These include: 1. Psychological results: 1. Quality of life. 2. Carer overload. 2. Physical results: 1. Sleepiness during the day. 2. Physical activity, intensity and length evaluation. - To assess carers satisfaction with the intervention. Method Randomized clinical trial, single blinding and performed in oncological patients carers in several practices. 2 samples of 40 carers. Intervention group will be taken through a seven session intervention with music; control group will undergo seven sessions of therapeutic education (as a reminder). Results will be evaluated using Pittsburgh Quality of Sleep Index, triaxial accelerometer, EuroQol-5D-5L, Caregiver Strain Index, Epworth Sleepiness Scale and Client Satisfaction Questionnaire. Statistical analysis Basal values will be compared for both groups. Then the values before and after the intervention will be compared using Student's t distribution for normal continuous variables, and Wilcoxon's T test for paired data in continuous not normal variables. A multiple linear regression will be carried out. The system developed for the PREDIMEDPLUS study will be used to process accelerometer data results. This semi-automated system manages data capture in a continuous stream in a central server of Malaga University. Processing and analysis of this data is also centralised, with an open source package, GGIR v. 1.5-1248
Background: Palliative care services can be applied in chronic, life-threatening conditions such as cancer, and provide physical, mental and psychological support to patients worldwide. Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effect of music on pain, anxiety, comfort and functional capacity of cancer patients received care in a palliative care unit. Methods: The population of this randomized controlled trial consisted of cancer patients hospitalized in the Palliative Care Service of a Training and Research Hospital between July 2018-July 2019. The sample of the study included 60 patients (30 interventions/30 controls) who met the inclusion criteria. The patients in the intervention group were given a total of six music sessions, ten minutes each with the Turkish classical music in maqams (modes) of their choice (Hejaz or Rast accompanied by an expert tambour (drum) player).
Background and Aims: Music therapy has a wide range of uses in health care practice. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of intraoperative music played during spinal anesthesia operation on the patients' intraoperative vital signs, postoperative pain, and anxiety status. Methods: The study was performed in an operating room with a total of 90 patients, of whom 30 were in the music group, 30 were in the control group and 30 were in the sedated group. The ethics committee's approval, institutional permission, and the study participants' written informed consent were obtained. Data were collected using patient information and intraoperative observation form for vital signs as well as through the Visual Analog Scale and State Anxiety Scale. Preoperative and postoperative anxiety, the intraoperative and postoperative vital signs and postoperative pain and anxiety of all groups were analyzed.
Music and music therapy, live or recorded, has been introduced in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of the Del Ponte hospital in Varese in addition to standard medical and nursing care, to improve premature neonates' neurophysiological development. Recent studies focused on the effects of the maternal voice or the entrained singing and live music, highlighting their benefits on neonates stress, on not-nutritive sucking and on the caloric intake. Aim of our study is to evaluate the effect of parents singing or musictherapist singing admistered by Pacifier Activated Lullaby (PAL) on infant's behavior and nutritional outcomes. Particularly, we will evaluate infants' Heart Rate Variability during music therapy session, exclusive oral feeding achievement, weigth increase and hospitalization in a group of preterm infants administered to PAL compared with a control group of preterm infants not exposed to PAL stimulus.
The music therapy intervention it is dedicated to premature baby and their family at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)of the Woman-Child department "Hospital Del Ponte". In NICU an integrated psychological and music therapeutic protocol has been structured. The protocol aims to limit or overcome long-term developmental morbidities, promote parenting and attachment bond in preterm infants. Protocol is named "Premature family music therapy intervention (PFMI): an Italian protocol to support parenting, attachment bond and preterm development". The methodologies will provide early intervention from the first days of hospitalization in NICU and use music therapy sessions "active" (chant parental, live music and lullaby) and "receptive" (listening to recorded tracks). Such therapy becomes a support for the born prematurely and her parents during hospitalization and after discharge. The music therapy accompanies the newborn and his parents during the hospitalization and focuses its attention on the emotional-relational care, according to the different needs of babies and parents. This protocol it is a Family Centered Care Music Therapy Intervention.
Patients underwent surgical procedure experiences acute postoperative pain, but less than half report adequate postoperative pain relief. The poor management of pain after surgery is associated with inadequate sleep and poor mood. Music therapy is described as a non-pharmacological technique to accomplish individualized patient's goals for hospital treatment. Music has been used as a healing approach. In Saudi Arabia, there is a lack of evidence related to the effect of music therapy on pain and sleep among patients who underwent abdominal surgery. Studies are needed to address additional aspects of pain management and the promotion of sleep among Saudi adult postoperative people by using non-pharmacological modalities.
Introduction: There is an increase on cancer prevalence and, consequently, a higher number of people that require palliative care, making an influence on the family and the main carer. Objectives: - To evaluate the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of a music intervention program, applied as a complementary therapy, in oncological palliative care patients and carers at home, compared to current treatment. - To assess if patients in the intervention group submit significant differences regarding: pain, anxiety, depression, modo, insomnia, and life quality. - To assess if carers in the intervention group present significant differences regarding the Caregiver Burden Scale and life quality. - To evaluate patients and carers satisfaction on the therapeutic intervention. - To estimate the cost-effectiveness of the intervention. Method: Randomised, double-blind, multi-centre clinical trial in the field of primary health care, conducted in 5 clinical management units belonging to Málaga-Guadalhorce health district and performed in oncological palliative care patients and carers. Two samples of 40 palliative care patients and two samples of 41 carers. The intervention group will undergo a 7-days intervention with music sessions, the control group will be given seven sessions of retraining in therapeutical education. Objectives will be evaluated through the following tools: Edmonton Scale, Symptom Assessment System, EORTC QLQ-C30, Caregiver Burden Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Accelerometer, Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), The Quality of Life Family Version, Client Satisfaction Questionnaire and Economical valuation. To assess the objectives evaluations will be performed through home visit, both pre-intervention and a week after the beginning of the intervention for both groups. A follow-up visit will be made a month after the intervention to regard some economical parameters. Statistical analysis: The basal values of both groups will be compared. These values will be compared before and after the intervention, in the control and intervention group through Student t-test for normal continuous variables, and through Wilcoxon t-test for paired data in not normal continuous variables. In addition to the bivariated analysis, a multiple lineal regression will be carried out. The economical valuation will be a cost-effectiveness analysis. For each group we will measure cost, incremental cost, AVAC effectiveness, incremental effectiveness, dominance and, in case there is none, the results will be expressed in terms of incremental cost-effectiveness. To assess the costs, direct sanitary costs and intervention related costs will be considered. SPSS 23 will be the statistical software to use, along with Epidat 3.01. 95% confidence range will make p values under 0,05 (p<0.05) statistically significant.
The aim of this study is to measure the efficacy of music during a painful procedure in pediatric intensive care unit. Music therapy has real effects on the pain level already proven in adults units. Our objective is to apply this technic to children. The investigators will evaluate this technic during cleaning care which is daily procedure for each stable patient and wich may be painful in this population.
A study examining the benefits of music therapy on patients, families, and unit staff on acute neurologic or inpatient rehabilitation units.
