Research shows that music therapy can help to reduce pain, improve mood, reduce fatigue and facilitate relaxation and physical comfort. Additionally, it is reported to impact positively on people’s quality of life and spiritual well-being.
The findings of this study are in alignment with, and complementary to, those of other studies that explored staff and patients’ perceptions of music therapy in other palliative care settings. Participants reported that music therapy can impact positively on the emotional, physical, social, environmental, creative and spiritual aspects of patients’ well-being.
