以回忆为中心的音乐治疗来促进痴呆患者积极情绪、参与度和共享互动:一项探索性研究

摘要

尽管有越来越多的证据表明,将音乐治疗和回忆以一种结构化和互补的方式结合起来,可能会给痴呆症患者带来积极的幸福感,但将两者同等地结合起来的文献还存在空白。此外,目前还没有已知的研究,探讨将“关联项目(associative items)”作为联合干预的一部分,也没有已知的标准化方案或方法。这项混合方法研究的目的是,探讨针对痴呆症患者的结合音乐治疗和回忆关联项目的干预是否可以通过(a)音乐表达,(b)回忆和(c)言语互动促进积极的情绪和参与水平,以及分享互动。该研究针对居住在护理单元的5人痴呆症患者小组进行了为期五周,每周一次的以回忆为中心的音乐治疗(RFMT)和关联项目敢于。痴呆照护图谱(Dementia Care Mapping, DMC)的结果显示RFMT干预在促进积极情绪、参与水平和共享互动方面非常有效。从总的观察中发现参与者表现出相当积极的情绪和参与(+3)51.6%,高度积极情绪和参与(+5)38.2%。在5次的RFMT治疗中,最常见的三种行为包括音乐表达(53.2%)和回忆(23%)以及言语互动(34%)。从音乐治疗师的反思性日志和治疗总结的数据显示,关联项目促进了现实定向、言语互动和认知刺激。研究发现,音乐元素能增强团体凝聚力,刺激认知,作为一个锚间歇地重新调整团队成员的方向。本文考虑了实践的影响,并概述了未来实践的建议。
