Music Therapy and Aging
Summary
Grief, pain, and distress can become unbearable for the bereaved although death is an experience that every individual goes through. Many therapeutic interventions have been developed to help the bereaved cope with death including music therapy interventions. These interventions have shown positive impacts on the cognitive and emotional well-being of the bereaved and older adults with terminal conditions or under hospice care. However, the impact of these interventions on the aging process remains unknown and understudied. The proposed study will look at the effect of music therapy interventions on aging, especially on the frailties brought by old age. The scope of the proposed research is to look at the link between music therapy interventions and the quality of life of elderly people without any chronic or terminal conditions.
This study is expected to provide insights on how to cope or deal with frailties of old age that could result in premature death. Additionally, the study is expected to demonstrate the effectiveness of music therapy as an evidence-based intervention that improves the quality of life. To achieve the purpose of the study, a randomized controlled trial with a pretest-posttest research design will be carried out. Using a purposive sampling technique, a group of older adults aged between 65 and 100 years will be included in the research. These participants will be randomly assigned to an experimental group and a control group. The quality of life indicators will be measured at the baseline before and after administering the intervention. Data from the participants will be statistically analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) in SPSS 22.0. The researcher also intends to include peer-reviewed journals on this topic to establish a foundation for the study. The proposed project will help to develop a substantive theory and evidence-based approach to deal with frailties in old age.
