Abstract

The lockdown policies in Israel during the COVID-19 pandemic hampered familial grandparents-grandchildren relations. There is initial evidence that older adults' meaning in life and will-to-live decreased. Grandparents could no longer meet their grandchildren in person. In response, we utilized an intergenerational telehealth music therapy group intervention during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Forty-four pairs of grandparents and grandchildren enrolled in a quasi-experimental study with an intervention and waitlist control group. Twenty-one pairs of grandparents-grandchildren participated in a weekly virtual group music therapy intervention (via Zoom) for 8 weeks (experimental group) and the remainder were waitlisted and received no intervention (control group). Participants in both groups completed the same questionnaires in parallel before and after the intervention. The grandparents' meaning in life, will-to-live and behavioral grandparenthood increased compared to no change observed in the control group. Further research with randomized-controlled treatment is recommended.

代际远程医疗音乐疗法小组干预，改善祖父母的生活意义。

在 COVID-19 大流行期间，以色列的封锁政策阻碍了祖孙家庭关系。有初步证据表明，老年人的生活意义和生活意愿有所下降。祖父母无法再与孙辈见面。为此，我们在 COVID-19 大流行期间采用了代际远程医疗音乐治疗小组干预措施。44 对祖孙参加了干预组和候补对照组的准实验研究。21 对祖孙参加了每周一次的虚拟小组音乐治疗干预（通过 Zoom），为期 8 周（实验组），其余的祖孙则在候补名单上，不接受任何干预（对照组）。两组参与者在干预前后同时填写了相同的问卷。实验组祖父母的生命意义、生存意愿和祖父母行为都有所提高，而对照组则没有任何变化。建议进一步开展随机对照治疗研究。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
