In 2019, the WHO released a scoping review investigating art therapies in evidence-based healthcare practices to identify and understand the gaps in the literature. However, the studies curated were not evaluated for their quality. To address this limitation, several assessment tools to critically appraise music-based research studies that investigate therapies pertaining to preventative healthcare were investigated. Two critical appraisal tools were selected for their robustness and appropriateness for the studies in question: the Joanna Briggs Institute checklists and the Music-Based Intervention Guidelines. These tools were tested by two assessors on a total of 23 music studies from the Preventative and Prevention Health section of the WHO report. Based on the requirements for each critical appraisal tool, seven studies received a full assessment utilizing both checklists. Of these seven, two studies scored on the higher index, indicating that the studies followed a detailed methodology to provide concrete and accurate results. The findings of the study highlighted the limitations of study designs and music-based interventions. With this information, beneficial recommendations for future research in this domain are provided to improve the quality of research, ensuring its place in evidence-based healthcare practices.
2019年，世界卫生组织发布了一项范围审查，调查循证医疗实践中的艺术疗法，以识别和理解文献中的空白。然而，所挑选的研究未对其质量进行评估。为解决这一局限性，对几种用于严格评估基于音乐的研究的评估工具进行了调查，这些研究调查了与预防性医疗保健相关的疗法。选择了两种严格评估工具，因其稳健性和对相关研究的适用性：乔安娜·布里格斯研究所清单和基于音乐的干预指南。两名评估人员使用这两种工具对世界卫生组织报告中“预防与预防健康”部分的总共23项音乐研究进行了测试。根据每种严格评估工具的要求，七项研究使用这两种清单进行了全面评估。在这七项研究中，两项研究得分较高，表明这些研究遵循了详细的方法以提供具体准确的结果。该研究结果突出了研究设计和基于音乐的干预措施的局限性。基于这些信息，为该领域未来的研究提供了有益的建议，以提高研究质量，确保其在循证医疗实践中的地位。
