Mechanical ventilation is a life support measure in which an endotracheal tube or tracheostomy is attached to a mechanical ventilator to mechanically breathe for an individual who has lost the ability to do so. The need for mechanical ventilation can be a result of respiratory illness, or a neurological impairment caused by a drug overdose, spinal cord or brain injury. This procedure results in many uncomfortable symptoms such as anxiety, pain, and delirium. The use of music listening to treat these symptoms has been researched showing an overall support for the implication of music. However, music therapy research with mechanically ventilated individuals is very limited. A survey was conducted to gain an understanding of current music therapy practice with mechanically ventilated individuals and to add to the knowledge base. Music therapists reported that the most common methods and goal addressed in music therapy were listening to live music and physiological entrainment to reduce anxiety. Music therapists also had a high rate of involvement during weaning trials. Current music medicine and music therapy research focus on the use of music listening to reduce anxiety as evidenced by both psychological and physiological changes such as heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure. The responses provided by the music therapist’s surveyed mirrors current research on the methods used and goals addressed with mechanically ventilated patients further demonstrating the feasibility of music therapy for mechanically ventilated individuals. The present study can serve as a basis of knowledge for music therapists and medical professionals considering music therapy for mechanically ventilated individuals.Collections

A heuristic study on music-centered supervisionDoak, Timothy D. (2018-05)This first-person study investigated how a music-centered (Modified Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music) supervision contributed to understanding the role of music therapy when working with clients diagnosed with a Disorder of Consciousness during a Masters Fellowship. Data was collected from three sources; a) transcriptions from Dr. Heather Wagner and Ms. Madelaine Ventre, b) personal experience, c) and mandalas drawn during the supervision session. This data was analyzed to answer the following research questions; “How does music-centered supervision help deepen my understanding of working with children diagnosed with Disorders of Consciousness?” and “What do my mandalas reveal about my experience working with children diagnosed with Disorders of Consciousness?” Qualitative methods of interrogation, interpretation, and triangulation were utilized in order to discover the answers to the research questions. Through careful analysis of the data, four themes were present during the music-centered supervision process: nurturance and containment, preparation, discomfort, and new energy. Each theme provided a deeper understanding to the various stages of the supervision process. This study also provides evidence of the benefits of music-centered supervision for music therapists, especially during their studies and training.
