The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of listening to self-chosen music on the quality of life of family caregivers of cancer patients receiving palliative home care. A total of 82 family caregivers were assigned either to the intervention group ( = 41) or to the control group ( = 41) in this double-blind, multicentre, randomised controlled clinical trial. The recruitment period was between July 2020 and September 2021. The intervention group received individualised pre-recorded music in daily 30 min sessions for 7 consecutive days. The control group was given a recorded repetition of the basic therapeutic training education also in 30 min sessions for 7 consecutive days. The primary endpoint assessed was the caregivers' quality of life (Quality of Life Family Version and European Quality of Life visual analogue scale) before and after the intervention. The secondary endpoint was their perceived satisfaction with the intervention (Client Satisfaction Questionnaire). The music intervention was successful, producing a tangible improvement in the caregivers' quality of life ( < 0.01) and satisfaction with the care provided ( = 0.002). The intervention was not only effective but produced no adverse effects. This study encourages the use of self-chosen music as a complementary intervention in nursing care for family caregivers of palliative cancer patients.
本研究旨在探讨聆听自选音乐对接受姑息家庭护理的癌症患者家庭照顾者生活质量的影响。在这项双盲、多中心、随机对照临床试验中，共有82名家庭照顾者被分配到干预组（n = 41）或对照组（n = 41）。招募期为2020年7月至2021年9月。干预组连续7天每天接受30分钟个性化预录音乐。对照组也连续7天每天接受30分钟基本治疗培训教育的录音重复播放。评估的主要终点是干预前后照顾者的生活质量（家庭生活质量版本和欧洲生活质量视觉模拟量表）。次要终点是他们对干预的感知满意度（客户满意度问卷）。音乐干预取得成功，照顾者的生活质量有显著改善（P < 0.01），对所提供护理的满意度也有所提高（P = 0.002）。该干预不仅有效，而且未产生不良反应。本研究鼓励将自选音乐作为姑息癌症患者家庭照顾者护理中的一种辅助干预措施。
