Abstract

Background: Implementing music in the intensive care unit has increased in popularity because the environment can be stressful and anxiety inducing for many patients. In hospital settings, therapeutic music can be beneficial for patients' well-being and recovery. Although live music typically involves a face-to-face encounter between the musician and patient, the COVID-19 pandemic has prompted a change to virtual live therapeutic music, using technology to present music in real time (eg, with a tablet computer).

Objective: To generate novel findings regarding patients' perceptions of virtual live therapeutic music, which has been little studied compared with live or recorded music..

Methods: Fifty patients in Vanderbilt University Medical Center intensive care units listened to virtual live music played by a volunteer musician via an online video communication platform. Patients' responses to 5 survey questions were transcribed and analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively using data analysis software.

Results: Seven major themes describing the familiarity and significance of music for patients were identified. Forty-seven patients (94%) experienced positive emotions from the music, 46 (92%) indicated that music was a significant part of their lives, 28 (56%) accessed a cherished memory, and 45 (90%) indicated that they would not change anything.

Conclusions: Therapeutic virtual music was well received and provided tangible benefits to patients. Additional research would provide information on patients' outcomes and differences between live and virtual live music.

病人对重症监护室虚拟现场音乐的看法。

背景：由于重症监护室的环境可能会给许多病人带来压力和焦虑，因此在重症监护室播放音乐的做法越来越受欢迎。在医院环境中，治疗性音乐有利于患者的健康和康复。虽然现场音乐通常是音乐家与患者面对面的交流，但 COVID-19 大流行促使人们转向虚拟现场治疗音乐，即利用技术实时呈现音乐（如使用平板电脑）：目的：就患者对虚拟现场治疗音乐的看法得出新的研究结果，与现场或录制的音乐相比，对虚拟现场治疗音乐的研究很少：范德比尔特大学医学中心重症监护病房的 50 名患者通过在线视频交流平台聆听了由志愿音乐家演奏的虚拟现场音乐。患者对 5 个调查问题的回答被转录下来，并使用数据分析软件进行定性和定量分析：结果：确定了七大主题，描述了音乐对患者的熟悉程度和意义。47名患者（94%）从音乐中体验到了积极情绪，46名患者（92%）表示音乐是他们生活中重要的一部分，28名患者（56%）获得了珍贵的记忆，45名患者（90%）表示他们不会改变任何事情：结论：治疗性虚拟音乐深受欢迎，并为患者带来了切实的益处。其他研究将提供有关患者疗效以及现场和虚拟现场音乐之间差异的信息。
