The objective of this study was to investigate the applicability and effectiveness of the use of music in providing for positive physical and mental outcomes in nursing facilities.
Lack of quality of life (QOL) has been a significant issue within nursing facilities. With the rise in census due to Baby Boomers, it has become imperative to find ways to increase overall QOL.
The research team participants conducted a literature review via Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature, PubMed (MEDLINE), and Academic Search Ultimate to collect data regarding the use of music to provide for positive physical and mental outcomes in nursing facilities.
The most common facilitator mentioned was increased socialization or communication (18%), followed by reduced depression (12%), improved physical health (11%), and reduced agitation or behavior problems (9%). The most common barriers were as follows: cannot isolate effects of music (26%), cost prohibitive (11%), difficult to implement (11%), and no significant improvements in QOL or well-being (11%).
The use of music showed positive outcomes for residents in nursing facilities and should be considered for implementation as part of the normal culture within such facilities.
本研究旨在探讨在护理机构中使用音乐对促进身心积极结果的适用性和有效性。
生活质量（QOL）差一直是护理机构的一个重大问题。由于婴儿潮一代导致入住人数增加，因此必须找到提高整体 QOL 的方法。
研究小组通过 Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature、PubMed（MEDLINE）和 Academic Search Ultimate 进行文献回顾，收集有关在护理机构中使用音乐以提供身心积极结果的数据。
提到的最常见促进因素是增加社交或沟通（18%），其次是减少抑郁（12%）、改善身体健康（11%）和减少烦躁或行为问题（9%）。最常见的障碍如下：无法孤立音乐的影响（26%）、费用过高（11%）、难以实施（11%）以及 QOL 或幸福感没有显著改善（11%）。
在护理机构中使用音乐对居民产生了积极的结果，应考虑将其作为这些机构正常文化的一部分加以实施。
