Older adults face challenges in function, cognition, and isolation as they age. Nurses are responsible for providing a healing environment to promote health and well-being. Music listening is an intervention that could be used to facilitate a healing environment. This article provides examples of evidence that music can improve the healing environment for older adults, both physiologically and psychologically. Music can connect individuals with their emotions and bring about a sense of self-awareness that improves the quality of life for older adults. Music is a safe, inexpensive, and easy-to-use intervention that nurses can implement independently to help older adults cope with pain, acute confusion, and functional deficits. Examples of ways nurses can use music to provide a healing environment are also included.
随着年龄的增长，老年人在功能、认知和社交隔离方面面临挑战。护士有责任提供一个促进康复的环境，以增进健康和福祉。聆听音乐是一种可用于营造康复环境的干预措施。本文提供了证据示例，表明音乐可以在生理和心理上改善老年人的康复环境。音乐可以将个体与他们的情感联系起来，并带来一种自我意识，从而提高老年人的生活质量。音乐是一种安全、廉价且易于实施的干预措施，护士可以独立开展，以帮助老年人应对疼痛、急性意识模糊和功能缺陷。文中还列举了护士利用音乐提供康复环境的方法示例。
