P-066: Efficacy of passive music therapy (PMT) for patients with severe cognitive and functional decline

摘要

Introduction: Few studies exist involving therapeutic interventions with patients suffering from advanced-stage dementia, and fewer still involving passive music therapy. Nevertheless, in people with "parallel" life situations (neonates or the severely impaired) it has been shown to have beneficial effects on heart rate, breathing, sleep, the immune system or the digestive system, among other things. Methods: Comparative study between elderly patients in a GSCU (Geriatric Special Care Unit). Two groups are selected: Experimental group (N = 10) that receives passive music therapy vs. Control group (N = 10) that receives no music therapy. The following are evaluated: nutritional level (MNA-LF, EAT-10 dysphagia, SNAQ); cognitive level (Rancho Los Amigos Scale); functional level (Barthel Index); impairment level (DRS); Glasgow Coma Scale; vital signs (heart and respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, temperature, glycemias and weight). A subjective evaluation is also made by family members (ad hoc questionnaire) and professionals. Results: Average age: 87.29 years. 83% Basic education 87.5% women (1) statistically significant effect on O_2 saturation and RR. (2) Weight increase of resident. (3) Significant subjective improvement in evaluation of the activities. (4) Tendency towards improvement in "Overall Satisfaction" + "Satisfaction in GSCU" + "Mood" + "Doing more for their family member". Key conclusions: Passive music therapy improves the quality of life of the patients benefiting from the programme (people with severe cognitive and functional decline) and the level of satisfaction of their family members.
