Abstract: Music therapy has been shown to be effective in hospitalized patients, reducing the level of stress and anxiety, lowering tension, regulating breathing and relieving pain. However, despite the fact that there are many precedents of this type in palliative care, the quality of the evidence is low. The present research seeks to determine whether a single responsive music therapy intervention combined with virtual reality (RMT+VR) reduces prevalent symptoms and improves their overall well-being in hospitalized adult patients with advanced oncologic disease receiving palliative care. This is a prospective study of a randomized clinical trial with a control group. The main variables are pain, exhaustion, drowsiness, nausea, loss of appetite, dyspnea, depression, anxiety, sleep and well-being as well as heart rate. The duration of the study will be 48 hours. After signing the informed consent, patients will be randomized on the first day receiving RMT+VR, or no intervention at all. The variables will be measured on three occasions, before and after each condition, and 24 hours later.

Abstract: Confusion frequently exists around the various uses of music for health and wellbeing, and the roles of different agents using music for health benefits. This confusion is often based on a lack of definition and understanding of the many different applications and how they can fit together with training and experience. Our Music, Health and Wellbeing Continuum Model has been collaboratively developed at Western Sydney University, Australia, to incorporate the many uses of music for health benefits across a broad spectrum of roles, agents and applications. This ranges from environmental and personal through to community, health practitioners and qualified music therapists. This article outlines and identifies the many different roles within this Continuum, providing examples and evidence of how this conceptual framework can contribute to and support everyday practice around the uses of music and music therapy to improve health and wellbeing for clients and patients. We extend this into systematic feedback from Key Informants with discussions of applications and a further Annexe to delineate the potential multiple roles of each individual. Consequently, we propose that our entire Model contributes to increased understanding of the many roles and agents using music for health and wellbeing benefits in our community.

Abstract: Patients with an LDL-C ≥ 190mg/dL benefit from a healthy lifestyle and use of medications to lower their risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) events. Change in autonomous motivation and perceived competence are viable targets for reducing CVD risk according to Self-Determination Theory. A pilot randomized controlled trial of music therapy for 31 very high LDL-C subjects found no between 1 or 2 session group different effects on motivation, LDL-C or non-HDL-C. Perceived competence for healthy lifestyle significantly increased (p<0.05), mean LDL-C decreased from 131 to 87 mg/dL (p<0.0005), and mean non-HDL-C decreased from 155 to 113 mg/dL (p=0.001) after music therapy in all participants. An increase in autonomous motivation for medication use predicted a in the change in LDL-C (p<0.05). Music therapy may enhance motivation for reducing CVD risk. Autonomous motivation for medication use and perceived competence for lifestyle change may be useful targets of future interventions for high cholesterol.

Abstract: In mid-2018, the authors[1] were contracted by the YYZ Foundation[2] to create a new collection of intercultural recordings designed to support palliative care patients and their caregivers. At the onset of this project, a commitment was made to not only create the musical recordings but also a pre-production and research process that would foster an equitable and meaningful intercultural collaboration. It is this process that will be explored in detail in this paper. The authors propose that this process could help to inspire further equitable and inclusive intercultural collaborative practices in both musical and non-musical settings such as health care as several aspects of this collaborative process may be useful for other initiatives that require cultural sensitivity and intercultural collaboration.

Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic is a global health crisis with physical and mental disorders, especially for the elderly. Resilience or the ability to bounce back or recover from stress and negative emotions are important for well-being. Music is a powerful, pleasurable stimulus that can induce positive well-being and promoting cognition. A combination of non-pharmaceutical interventions can produce more benefits. Several studies support the notion that physical activity can help alleviate the negative impact of age on body and mind. Research on normal and pathological aging reveal that music is an interesting and powerful means of promoting cognition, well-being and social connection in older adults. Physical exercise combined with music induces greater positive effects on cognition function, well-being and lead to neuroanatomical changes. Music and exercise cross the disciplines of bio-mechanics, neurology, physiology and sport psychology and bring social and spiritual benefits. Self-selected music elicited the greatest improvements, it offers a motivational boost, resulting in greater enjoyment and longer engagement in activity. This literature review aims to provide an overview on studies that have explored physical activity and the aging brain. And how music combined with physical activity can positively have an impact on emotional well-being of the elderly. Keywords: Music, Exercises, Well-being, Aging Brain

Abstract: With increasing recognition of the benefits of complementary therapies, they are being more widely applied in many healthcare settings. This includes pediatric palliative care, wherein patients have a unique set of needs, best addressed through a family-centered interdisciplinary model. Music therapy and massage therapy fit well within this model. These authors contend the benefits of these therapies are enhanced when combined in co-treatment, as outlined in this case presentation of one pediatric palliative care patient, initially treated separately, and then in co-treatment by music and massage therapies. Perceived benefits of the co-treatment included enhanced quality of life through symptom management, engagement in a meaningful activity, and family support, as well as promotion of a defined therapy space, and increased opportunities for social interaction. Further research is needed to build a generalizable, evidence-based body of knowledge to support this type of co-treatment.

Abstract: The chapters in this current book reflect current and/or necessary changes in music therapy training that come about because of history, society, economy, generational shifts and the workplace. Although the subject matter in these chapters may appear disparate, it is not. The subject matter invites comparison in the following ways: 1) questions the nature of music therapy itself; 2) examines challenges to education and training; 3) suggests critical thinking (vs repetition or repackaging of information) for students, educators, clinicians, researchers and supervisors in the field of music therapy; 4) respects the past but looks to the future; 5) offers perspective from others in the field through such vehicles as surveys, interviews and/or reviews of literature. Part I is titled ‘New Frameworks and Content for Music Therapy Education and Training’ Part II of the book, ‘Online Formats for Music Therapy Education and Training’ offers two chapters which have become increasingly urgent information due to the emergence of the COVID-19 epidemic throughout the world (March 2020), now in its third year, coupled with the explosion of technological resources and demand for online and hybrid learning. Part III of the book, ‘Inclusivity in Music Therapy Education and Training,’ presents two vital chapters to remind educators of pressing issues. Part IV of the book, ‘Professional Opportunities in Music Therapy Education, Training and Development,’ present four uniquely different chapters, yet each focuses on opportunities that any student or educator should consider. Part V, ‘Ongoing issues and Possibilities in Music Therapy Education and Training,’ considers two more developing topics in the field. Readers will enjoy and profit from this book, reflecting on how to continue to move on in music therapy education and training.

Abstract: Social interactions were limited due to COVID-19 restrictions resulting in a high prevalence of loneliness and social isolation. The purpose of this systematic review is to investigate the impact of engaging in music on the experience of loneliness during the COVID-19 pandemic. We included nine articles with a total of 16,176 participants, all of which reported upon the impact of musical engagement in the form of music listening or music-related activities on loneliness. The average age of participants was 43 ± 15 years, and 37% were male. Eight studies (88.9%) reported that music engagement reduced loneliness. This systematic review demonstrates that music may have had a beneficial impact on loneliness during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our findings suggest that the use of music is an accessible method to cope with feelings of loneliness and improve overall wellbeing during times of social isolation.
