The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of music on pain for home-dwelling persons with dementia. A quasiexperimental design was used. Fifteen subjects listened to their preferred music for 30 minutes before peak agitation time, for 2 days per week, followed by no music for 2 weeks. The process was repeated once. The finding of this study showed that mean pain levels after listening to music were significantly lower than before listening to the music (t=2.21, df=28; p < .05). The findings of this pilot study suggest the importance of music intervention to control pain for home-dwelling persons with dementia.
本研究旨在调查音乐对居家痴呆症患者疼痛的影响。采用了准实验设计。15名受试者在躁动高峰期前聆听他们喜欢的音乐30分钟，每周2天，之后2周不听音乐。此过程重复一次。本研究结果表明，聆听音乐后的平均疼痛水平显著低于聆听音乐前（t=2.21，自由度=28；p<.05）。这项初步研究的结果表明了音乐干预对控制居家痴呆症患者疼痛的重要性。
