Music-based intervention in Covid-19 hospitalization: a perspective through Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR)

Abstract

COVID-19 patients survive in isolation with stringent measures of infection containment, leading to anxiety, fear, stress, loneliness, and depression. Music is recognized as useful to promote multiple health outcomes, including anxiolytic effects, pain-relieving, and relaxing effects that favour well-being and social interaction in healthcare settings. The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) allows to implement music in hospital, restricting methodological weaknesses. The importance of exploring the in-patients’ preferences, usages, and feelings for COVID-19 before initiating a music-based intervention is crucial.
