Examination of the Awareness of Health Care Providers on the Use of Music as an Intervention

Abstract

The use of music as an intervention (MAI) yields positive outcomes in patient care, yet there is limited awareness among health care providers (HCPs). This study assesses those awareness levels by addressing HCP understanding and utilization of MAI, with the intent of fostering healing environments by integrating MAI into clinical practice. Highlighting the significance of raising awareness and educating HCPs underscores the need to incorporate MAI at the bedside. Participant consensus (n = 134) was resoundingly clear: MAI should be a staple offering in all hospitals as it emerged as a potent tool for mitigating pain, stress, and anxiety and influencing vital signs.
