In an earlier qualitative research study exploring the meaning of preloss music therapy to bereaved caregivers who participated in sessions through a home-based hospice program, various narrative accounts revealed the significance of music in music therapy sessions. In this study, the role of music in palliative care music therapy is examined and representatively summarized, followed by a review of strategies provided by this author to home hospice patients and their caregivers. The reported perceptions of the meaning of music to 7 bereaved caregivers are presented, including a review of themes and associated narrations that illustrated its significance. The caregivers described these aspects of music in sessions to have memorable and lasting effects as follows: "music is a conduit,'' "music gets inside us,'' "live music makes a difference,'' and "music is love.'' Findings support the benefits of preloss music therapy for bereaved caregivers.
在一项早期的定性研究中，探索丧失前音乐疗法对通过居家临终关怀项目参与治疗的丧亲照料者的意义，各种叙述表明了音乐在音乐治疗过程中的重要性。在本研究中，审视并代表性地总结了音乐在姑息治疗音乐疗法中的作用，随后回顾了作者为居家临终关怀患者及其照料者提供的策略。呈现了7位丧亲照料者对音乐意义的报告认知，包括对说明其重要性的主题及相关叙述的回顾。照料者将治疗过程中音乐的这些方面描述为具有难忘且持久的影响，如下所述：“音乐是一种媒介”、“音乐深入我们内心”、“现场音乐带来改变”以及“音乐即爱”。研究结果支持丧失前音乐疗法对丧亲照料者的益处。
