Abstract

Older adults and people living with dementia experienced high degrees of social isolation and reduced access to support during the recent COVID-19 pandemic. However, worldwide, including amongst people living with dementia and their caregivers, musical engagement provided some relief and social connection. This study examines the feasibility of transforming a personalised playlist program for people living with dementia for online delivery. A mixed methods approach was taken in which quantitative data (facial action unit activation) and qualitative data (interviews) were collected from 5 people with dementia and their caregivers. Interviews were also conducted with 5 music therapy students undergoing clinical placements who participated in the study as program facilitators. Results demonstrated the feasibility of delivery of online music playlist programs for supporting people living with dementia living in isolation. Caregivers reported increased understanding about how to use music in targeted ways to support mood and behaviour. Despite the limitations of the online format, facial action unit activation suggested that people with dementia experienced increased enjoyment when listening to energising playlists, confirming the feasibility of this as an outcome measure. However, increased challenges to developing a rapport with clients in the online context were highlighted.

COVID-19大流行期间老年痴呆症患者在线音乐收听计划:可行性研究

在最近的COVID-19大流行期间，老年人和痴呆症患者经历了高度的社会孤立，获得支持的机会减少。然而，在世界范围内，包括痴呆症患者和他们的照顾者，音乐的参与提供了一些缓解和社会联系。本研究探讨了将痴呆症患者个性化播放列表程序转换为在线交付的可行性。采用定量数据(面部动作单元激活)和定性数据(访谈)相结合的方法，对5名痴呆症患者及其照顾者进行了研究。此外，本研究亦对5名音乐治疗学生进行访谈，这些学生均以节目主持人的身份参与本研究。结果表明，提供在线音乐播放列表程序为独居的痴呆症患者提供支持是可行的。护理人员报告说，他们对如何有针对性地使用音乐来支持情绪和行为的理解有所增加。尽管在线格式存在局限性，但面部动作单元激活表明，痴呆症患者在听充满活力的播放列表时体验到更多的乐趣，这证实了将其作为结果衡量标准的可行性。然而，在线环境下与客户建立融洽关系的挑战日益增加。
