Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Following pre-tests and focus group, caregivers will participate in a 6-week classroom workshop including the following topics: adding singing and music with movement to address mood or agitation, music listening to assist with transitions or difficult tasks, implementing background music for compliance during activities of daily living, creating individualized playlists/interventions to address undesirable behaviors, and the use of an MP3 player . The 6-week workshop will take place in person or via Zoom. Potential participants will be asked to meet for an hour, once weekly.
During the workshops, caregivers will be taught music-based interventions that involve adding singing and music with movement to address mood or agitation, music listening to assist with transitions or difficult tasks, background music for compliance and the creation of individualized playlists to address undesirable behaviors.
This psychosocial intervention will teach caregivers to incorporate a music-based intervention. The music-based intervention is a non-invasive program that involves singing, music with movement and music listening.
During these 6 weeks, caregivers will implement the music intervention with the care recipient and document weekly diaries. There will be a 3 month follow up designated for participants to repeat the completion of the questionnaires, Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview, Cornell-Brown Scale for Quality of Life, and Neuropsychiatric Inventory Questionnaire. These questions will be about participants' moods, agitation level or caregiver burden. This information will be collected in person at Menorah from potential caregiver participants. Principal Investigator will call to gather this data from the caregivers.
