: To describe the perspectives of caregivers in terms of using singing and music in their everyday work, and of their effect on care and interaction with the person with dementia.: A qualitative design was used, consisting of group discussions with professional caregivers from three nursing homes in a medium-sized city in a rural area of Sweden.: The results demonstrate that caregiver singing and music can be powerful and useful in the care of and in communication with persons with dementia. Music, for example, can be used to facilitate socialization as it opens up for discussion, while caregiver singing was preferable when it came to the facilitation of care situations and interaction.: Singing and music can be powerful and useful tools in the care of and in communication with persons with dementia. Regardless of whether singing or music is used, the most important factor is that a person-centred approach is adopted so as to make the music a facilitative tool. Caregiver singing and music are ways to connect with the person with dementia and an understanding of their use can contribute to dementia research. This in turn can increase awareness of the possible ways to strengthen the partnership between caregivers and persons with dementia.
描述照顾者在日常工作中使用唱歌和音乐的观点，以及它们对痴呆症患者的护理和互动的影响。
采用定性设计，由来自瑞典农村地区一个中等城市的三个养老院的专业护理人员进行小组讨论。
研究结果表明，照顾者唱歌和音乐在痴呆症患者的护理和沟通中非常有效和有用。例如，音乐可以用于促进社交，因为它可以开启讨论，而当涉及到促进护理情况和互动时，照顾者唱歌则更为可取。
唱歌和音乐是在与痴呆症患者的护理和沟通中非常有效和有用的工具。无论使用唱歌还是音乐，最重要的因素是采用以人为本的方法，使音乐成为一种促进工具。照顾者唱歌和音乐是与痴呆症患者建立联系的方式，对其使用方式的理解有助于痴呆症研究。这反过来又可以提高对加强护理人员与痴呆症患者之间伙伴关系的可能方式的认识。
